Here's the Gerhardt at 30 DAP...173 OTT, 80 CC gaining about 10-12lbs a day and 121lbs on the '13 chart. 12lbs a day on day 30 is arduously slow on a healthy (?), ~500 Sq Ft plant, but I figure it's due to the ever dwindling sunlight and very limited soil depth (around 2.5ft until I hit impenetrable rock). Excuse the few crispy leaves; burned those foliar spraying when they were young. I'm headed out for a seven day vacation to Sunriver, OR tomorrow morning, so I'll more than likely miss the day this pumpkin passes my hilarious PB of 176lbs :). I'm just crossing my fingers nothing crazy happens while I'm gone, because a lot can change in a week!
