Day 55 for the pumpkin on the 364.1 Andrews; Circ.= 144", S-to-S= 93.25", E-to-E= 87"; for a total 324.25". It's estimated at 718 lbs. This pumpkin grew an estimated 14.2 lbs./day for the past 5 days.
If all goes well, I think there's a chance this pumpkin could break 1K. I'd likely need favorable weather, no killing frosts before weighoff, and this pumpkin to go over 10% heavy. My 1041 Wallace 07(went about 10% heavy) was estimated at 18 lbs. heavier than this one at day 55, but this one is catching up. My current one has gained 476 lbs. from day 30-55, while my 1041 gained 408 lbs in that period. One thing going against my current one, is that it was pollinated 5 days later, and will likely be harvested earlier than my 1041 was. We'll see how it goes.
