Pappy on day 40 on the 1209 is 139-89-87 = 315" ott or 659 lbs. it is doing a little over 23 pounds per day. i did not measure Harpo this morning, but as of today based on yesterdays measurements and growth rate, Harpo has caught Pappy for patch supremcy in ott size eventhough it is 4 days younger. with the smooth ribless skin like last years 1209 at this stage, i would have to bet that if they were on the scale today Pappy with hopefully its thicker walls would weigh more. i just hope they both make it to the scales and let the chips fall where they may. they are both nice pumpkins at this stage and both plants are crossed with the other. clegg jr on the 1493 is not doing anything spectacular, but i am going to everything i can to try to get her to 1000 lbs. this included a little heavier on the ferts for this one with my drenching yesterday which also included seaweed and fish with the other products mentioned yesterday. also did the bioata, thrive, actinovate beneficials application yesterday for the 3rd time this season now. found 3 older main vine junctions with minor rot forming in small fissures closer to the stump side on the 1493 that were scraped clean, cleaned with bleach, captan placed and a fan with 3 tables lined up and covered then with a tarp. it was a good move before last nights rain. 80 dew points is potential rot city and all mains and stumps will be inspected more frequently as these 3 areas showed in less than 3 days time. the fungus and rot spores are now out popping big time and fungicides will be applied every 7 days religously.
