Diagnose: Cabbage Loose Split Heads

1. Inconsistent soil moisture causing rapid head growth followed by swelling or splitting
2. Press the inner head gently rather than judging loose wrapper leaves. A small compact center can still be immature, while a soft open center with no tightening after favorable weather points to stress or growing-point damage. A firm mature head with a fresh crack has already split and should be harvested because it cannot close again.
