The 1400 Lopresti is an estimated 150 pounds today. I had to cut off one of the secondary vines the other day because the pumpkin was starting to grow onto it which would inhibit the main vine from lifting up with the pumpkin as it grew. I was amazed at the roots when I pulled up the vine. As explained before, many of the leaf nodes had up to 3 roots emerging on each side, and this is proof! I think this is where the "good seed" and "good luck" part of pumpkin growing come in smile.gif. I'll try getting some photos of the pumpkins up soon. I have been more busy than usual this week and haven't been able to dedicate much time to my plants.
