This is the 504 House, I am very happy with this plant. It is so large I can't get it all in the picture. It has a ton of secondaries behind the pumpkin, 6 of which on each side are already fully terminated which might be a first for me. The back two secondaries also have 14 tertiary vines spidered out about 6ft long each which is delivering an additional 150 square feet behind the pumpkin.

On another note I finally pollinated one on the 1998 Jutras today, using the 504 House for the male. It is on a secondary vine about 20 feet from the stump. There is a mainvine flower ready to open tomorrow and it is way out there, like 26 feet maybe. That will be the one if it takes. The 1998 plant is pretty much the same size and is grown in the same style as the 504 House.
