Congrats on 1k subscribers! Most people don't realize what it takes to build up a small channel. How are you doing on watch hours? The nice thing that usually happens is a snowball effect and a herd mentality from viewers, So when you get over 1k subs you're probably noticing faster growth and fast growth leads to bigger numbers that causes even faster growth.lol 😊
Love seeing this! Tried moving some of my vines and I didn’t realize they already made extra roots. Can you go into trimming off the excess vines or leaves at all? I’m not doing the giants this year but just trying to get more female plants and I kept seeing things about pruning the excess males (it’s like 100:1 😅) and leaves too? I always feel bad hacking away but they’re taking over!
I talk about pruning in this video: th-cam.com/video/PaAZ4jx93Pw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=is2hRHBtRAUzdQvW I keep ALL my male flowers until I know my pollination has taken, then I will remove them when they're little when I'm pruning the vine, to save the plant energy which can then go into growing the pumpkin. Pruning the males doesn't create more females - it just gets rid of the males that are needed to pollinate the females when they finally do show up! I don't prune any of the leaves. I also made a video on vine layout which is also part of the pruning process: th-cam.com/video/nPBT_xBVvCA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2iOzk9K0uyUFF9MH Hope this helps! Those vines can get out of control quick!

The other good part about burying vines all day is having a ready excuse as why there is no dinner. Sacrifices must be made.

@@DaleHartt If you're not starving every night, are you really trying hard enough?
@@pumpkinista That was almost the first time I thumbed down one of your comments.
P.S. I can tell it's not your first time.
