I had a word with JD in Alaska about his night temps and on the back of that Stuart felt that we should be at the very least heating the actual pumpkins at night.
So about five days ago we started to heat the pumpkin tents to 22C (74F) and we have been rewarded with some great growth. That coupled with the fact that the weather has been superb and our soil and leaf samples are somewhere near the money, Stuart decided to tape two pumpkins. Both were putting on 40lbs a day for the last four days which is by far the best we have ever seen in our patches ever.
This is our 1160 which actually put on 164lbs in the last four days.
