Oct.2014 soil test in tunnel. I didn't pull the state fair plant until Oct. 5th even though I lost the pumpkin in July and weigh off was in August. Must have been 20 pumpkins after July that I sold or threw to the cows. 80 - 310 lbr's. I had happy cows lol. If you compare the soil tests it kind of gives you some Idea what these things eat and how much. I transplanted into tunnel April 6th. I was suprised how much phosphorus was taken. I fertigated with some stout potassium that had some nitrate and calcium as well. I never watered after mid July. Going to use mainly organic this next year.
