Its been awhile since our last post so here is an update. Things haven't quite gone as planned. We were going to cull down to just one plant but neither plant seemed strong enough to put all of our eggs into. So we have 2 plants and currently 3 pumpkins growing. We are trying to decide what to do with the 2 sets on the 1102 #1. The main was nipped at about 12ft before we had a female. Now we have 1 pumpkin pollinated on 7/2 on a side vine about half way down. We have another one pollinated on 7/5 on the last side vine before the main terminated. This last side vine was turned to grow downward but is not really a new main since no tertiaries grew due to crowding from the other plant.

Here is the 1102(#2) pollinated on 6/26. The plant takes up less space than the 1102(#1). It has on OTT of 192 at 29DAP.
