1463 Hoelke at Day 50. 1114 pounds est at 371 OTT. This one is growing at a pace that I've never experienced before. It's dusted any 40 and 50 day numbers that I've seen in the past. The plant is fairly healthy, new leaves are fresh looking. I have minor bubbling at the stump, but I should be able to keep that in check with scrapes and peroxide. Main vine is mint, dry and hard.
This stem side of this pumpkin is so nice looking but I can't get a good shot of it. It's going to be nice and deep orange and hopefully large.
Since Day 28 it's averaged 38lbs/day (x 22 days). What I find crazy is, since pollination, it's averaged 22 pounds a day. We've all had pumpkins in the past that wouldn't do 22 during the prime time stretch let alone over the full growth life. This one has been fun to watch. I'm not going to measure for a while, or at least try and not measure for a while. It's going to be hard to sit back and watch.
