Final OTT was 356 or 987#.
Final weight was 1065# so 8% heavy to the new chart.
D45 is tomorrow. Had it held gains (it showed no sign of slowing) it would have taped 1100 or a bit more.

For me a good one gains about 500# after D45. Mediocre 400, 1810 did 600 (on the tape).

So had this one done very well as it showed every sign of doing it would have taped about 1700 at the end and weighed 8% or 1836. OUCH

The cut view is right through the blossom split. It wasn't exactly thin.

Of course this is pumpkin growing so lots of other things could have happened, but it was a perfect plant, no stump issues / no vine issues....DARN!
