2145 McMullen ’15 (x 2075.5 Connolly)
Pollinated on: June 24th
Feet out on the main vine: 20 ft.
*Anthesis Treated*
Day: 10
OTT: 73.5”
Est. Weight: 10.1 pounds
I had two pumpkins pollinated on this plant each flower opened on the same day which made comparisons easy. I feel that when a flower is two leaf nodes down vine and opens the same day as the “older” female flower that the younger flower is a “winner”. So, I made the final cut today and selected the one down vine that opened on the same day as the other flower. I did do a quick measure of both regardless, and my chosen one was larger which is surprising since the previous pumpkin had the first rights of refusal for all of the water and nutrients traveling down the main vine. I kept both to this point to ensure I did not have to make a cull decision based on amount of hail damage. Either way, I am happy with my selection and now I am all locked in so if I weight a pumpkin off this plant this is the one.
