199-110-103 = 412" ott or estimate of 1460 lbs. 5.8 lbs per day average over the last 8 days. hoping i can coast her into the 1500 pound estimate range over the next 33 days til picking time. still drenching every week with cal-mag, neptunes, and grandma enggy's humic acid combo and am hitting foliar of 3 parts 0-0-25 to one part 3-18-18 mixed with gandma enggy's foliar fulvic, quilt fungicide, and demand cs insecticide all mixed together. 4 gallons above the canopy, 4 gallons below for all 3 plants combined. been watering 3 hours every morning under canopy and 2 hours from 2-4 pm also with the 6' rain tower to cool patch borders composed of brown brick, asphalt and wood fence, to cool the soils, to cool the tarps over the pumpkin and add additional water on these last couple windy 94 and 92 degree days. the under canopy system is less effective with weeds, but still gets a nice even coverage and the over head finishes the job. i was very happy to see 3" circ growth over the past 8 days. my guess the next 8 days will bring 1.5 and maybe if warm weather holds up 2 more inches circ maybe as the pumpkin gets older. today it is 79 days old and has 33 days left to grow...or not grow. lol. grow clegg grow!!!!!
