Im growing pumpkins ....?

Question

i have had sucess other years but this year i have planted them a bit late so i was wondering if their is a way to liven them up a bit they are verry small and look very limp is there away to liven them up a bit ?

Answer 1

when they start to get a bit bigger feed them with beer, try things like mericle grow and other fertilizers, but if you really want big pumpkins for the last mounth before you harvest them crush up one birth control pill and add it to every gallon of water you feed them, i am not completely sure about the science involved but the estergen in the pills makes the product grow bigger and mature faster, i know this works with other fruit and veg like tomatoes ect and i"m confident it will work for pumpkins. good luck.

Answer 2

This was my first yr. with pumpkins, dont know much, mine were getting very wilted, someone told me not to water at night, to water in the early morning. Seems to be helping. I was also told to fertilize with miracle gro, myabe that will speed it up a little.Wish I could help more, good luck.

Answer 3

If you can cope with the weirdness factor  then ahem, wee! urine is rich in nitrogen and is used diluted 1-10 as a general fertiliser in lots of countries. Some countries use urine diversion toilets which keep the two "products" separate and makes collection easier. Don't use it neat or store it- it is not like you will run out after all!

Happy growing.
