Day 49 for my pumpkin. Circ.= 107", side-to-side= 77", end-to-end= 66"; for an OTT of 250". The estimated weight is 350 lbs. using the 2013 chart. If my math is correct, my pumpkin has averaged 6.6 lbs. for the past 14 days.
The pumpkin has a nice orange color now. Of all the 603.5 Muller seeds I've grown, I think this one has the best orange color(excluding a lumpy one that may have had a virus...it had a very bright orange color, mottle with some green). I'm guessing this pumpkin will go heavy to the chart. It is sort of wheel-like, with a large proportion of the surface area on the stem end. It's upright, longer on the bottom, than on the top, which helped it stay upright IMO. Many of the 603.5 Muller pumpkins went around 10% heavy to the 2005 chart. I'm hoping this pumpkin gets over 500 lbs. if I get it weighed. I'll try and post pics of it at the end of the season.
