When the fruit quits growing and is left on the vine for it to last longer, is it still a good idea to water the plant or not? Should it be watered to keep the water flowing through the pumpkin or does that even happen when the pumpkin stops growing?

Just wondering what most people do when they hit this last stage in the game.

I have 7 days left till weigh off

Brooks.........Should you get a soaking rain you might want, to harvest the fruit, to avoid a last minute blow out.
