342.0 DeBacco ’14 (F: 335 Scherber ’11 x 1734.5 Steil) “Inside Job”
Cross-Section
While it may seem odd to have a pumpkin harvested at 95 days old in mid-July this is for real. Since I had to remove the pumpkin in sections it made for a great cut away picture which shows exactly what I want to see, even an thick supporting walls all the way around. I was able to get seeds from this pumpkin also which are now drying.
This is essentially a 179.4 DeBacco ’14 “Marshmallow” remake, with the female plant being the exact same plant and the same is true for the pollinating plant. The reason for the size difference I think is due to the increase in natural light as in the winter months I think this is my most limiting factor. The lack of light may also be causing some other issues that I have seen during the winter months that were less evident during this spring time growing situation.
