I am not sure I know exactly how that relates to the anatomy of a giant pumpkin, lol, but yes , something like that

Thinking about itā€¦the stem end might be closer related to an umbilical structure so I might be mistaken in that analogy. However, that being true Iā€™m not sure what the bloom end might signify but itā€™s definitely got a rupture going onā€¦ really sadā€¦

Yes that kind of hurts, I suspect that it is trying to ripen and the outside is getting less flexible. We had cool weather and over an inch of rain this past weekend , probably just tried to grow too fast

Charlie weighs 772 lbs tonight, below is a photo of the patch. I also removed some leaves around the stem. It has been cloudy and damp and the stem is getting soft in places. Maybe I can get it cleaned up this weekend and put some fungicide on it.
