1844.5 Hulob squash, no complaints, except i wish i had planted this in a dryer spot. I lost a mess of vines near the squash and beyond, when it sat in standing water for several days. The plant shut down for about a week, aborted my chosen fruit and a few after that one. This was the first pollination, and I had no intention of keeping it. The vine was never set up, but I am making it work. Considering the poor conditions, this fruit is doing great.
Day 46 today, 315", around 720 pounds. Getting darker green now, and skin is very smooth still.
