Hi guys. This is the first time that I’m growing pumpkins. I know that pumpkins are mostly sown directly in the ground, however since I wanted to give the seeds a head start, I planted them indoors in early spring. Unfortunately, the pot of this particular pumpkin was too small for it and since the temperature was moderately low I waited too long to transplant it outside so it became rootbound and now after being just two weeks in the ground it has started to flower (apart from this male blossom in the picture there are five more buds on the plant while it only has six true leaves). Now should I pinch all of these flowers? I’m concerned if I nip off the buds, the plant will be shocked and it will never come back to the flowering stage. Am I right? What is your suggestion? Thanks
