1209 Shenoha 2010 seeds drying on a house screen in the basement. i got a fan circulating the air nicely near the seeds. i guess the nine 991 flowers i used to pollinate it along with the 6 lobed fruit did the trick. 795 good solid plumpers. nice. this 20% heavy x 414" ott wide and long shape producing pollinating plant hopefully will be the 1st step of 3 for my hopeful breeding strategy over the next couple years. i will pick up a back up 1725 at auction to go along with the one i got from its mama and hopefully a 1209 x 1725 can be made in 2011. this will hopefully then be the combo of heavy, long and wide, and super big ott shell and rounder shape into the mix. then in 2012, i will introduce a separate monster heavy x monster big cross. soomething similar to the 1605 sweet 2010. hopefully the 1605 seeds are healthy and plentiful for ken because this cross has the potential to see 1900 in my eyes. a 1605 pound 15% heavy pumpkin that is crossed with pollen from a plant that produced a 438" ott shell......do the math!!!!!!!!!! lol. never mind i will do it for you. the aggc calculator says a 438" pumpkin ott at 15% would equal 2016 pounds. that is how the one ton mark will get toppled.
