This is a pic of my 602. It measures 55# in the pic but 2 days later is now 74#. I looked at last years records and the 602 was pollinated 7/10 and wieghed 97# at 20 days. I am ahead this year, pollinated 6/30 but at 20 days only at 74#. This is a backup patch just to grow a third plant but seems to do better with a lot poorer soil. We only put in 2 truckloads of manure, no amendments and just fertilize with bloodmeal and bone meal and miracle grow. got to 602 pounds last year with less manure well hope to get an increase this year. The patch at home has disease problems. I lost my 417 plant with a pumpkin at 30" circumference. The other plant is the 1375 liggett and I have a pumpkin growing that is now 33" at 15days. I have been cutting and trating a couple leaves a week that appear to have an orange yellow goop inside the stalk. Lesson learned too much water can be bad and I think I used too much, have cut way back and will try to keep this one alive as long as possible.
