1725 harp x 1209 shenoha at 18.5' perfectly symetrical 5 lober this morning with 8 male 1209s. opposite of the 1209 x 1725 cross i attempted 4 days ago. i am hoping the 20% heavy genes in the 1209, the 200 inch circumference boat-like shell from my 991 urena last year crossed with the monster 1725 shell will be a recipie for monster huge and monster heavy cross. God i hope this 1725 female takes and it is a cloudy cool day with no stress on pumpkins or plants. no ice bottles needed. the 4 day old 1209 female might be on the ground by this evening and still has a nice healthy shine and increasing with size daily. the 1493 female that is 3 days old is also growing in size daily and still has a nice sheen to it. if i can get some get luck rolling my way, then it is possible that as of right now i might have a fish on the hook on all 3 plants. time will tell and i will keep pollinating down the mains. the female after the 1493 female at 11.5' has slowed in development in the cooler weather and the one in front of it stealing juices. there are 2 more after her also right down the line for insurance. the next 1725 attempt will not be until another 8-10 days at 24' and the 1209 main has been terminated at the pumpkin due to the rabbit bite so more more main chances there. so again lady luck if your are listening, please let these 3 be the ones....i am begging you!
