Slow grower, or not?


I was looking through how much other people's plants grow and saw the diary
of Urban_farmer. My pumpkin took 4 weeks to germinate and produce 3 leaves
and has now been in the ground 4 weeks. It is the size Urban_farmer's was
after only 11 days!

I feed it with high potassium (3:1:6) liquid mix once a week for good root
and flower development. Perhaps the one problem is it's get watered day and
night from our bath. The water has very little soap and the only differnece
I can tell is that it's raised the pH from about 5.8 to 6.6, and I read that
bath water should not be bad for plants, is this wrong?

Otherwise it's looking strong and healthy. Any suggestions?

Alan
