Blossom end of the 1087 Bhaskaran. Final measurements on pallet were; Blossom end to stem end 95", Side to side 97", circumference 171". For a total of 363". Which would make the chart estimate about 1,000 pounds. So at 1037 it went just about right to the chart. It was my first non dmg. pumpkin to weigh over 1,000! It grew nice and slow all season long. When it was a youngster I almost culled it because the stem had such a bad downward curve I thought it would never have good stem positioning. I was able to slowly raise the stem as it grew and it never gave me any problems. I used styrofoam underneath the vine and gave it slight upward pressure. The stem is now almost perfectly straight. Many thanks to Matt D. for some good advice, regarding this.
