203 EST Clayton (1462 Gibson x 1415 Haist). This was on track to hit 500 or more and it was flawless but I culled it at 32 DAP because the plant was running out of new males and females and I am going to try to set a 1462 Gibson x self. (Which likely would abort without culling this one first.)

And 103 EST Clayton (811.5 Schweigert x 1992.5 Vincent) at about 27 DAP ? Hoping to send some more juice into the larger and better shaped fruit farther down the plant... The seeds will be iffy though this is not enough time. I think 45 DAP would be about right to get good seeds. I'll let it sit for a few weeks in case the seeds can continue to draw nutrients from the pumpkin, which I doubt, but I'll give it the chance...

My tablet shows the Gibson as more reddy/pink than it is and the Schweigert as less yellow than it is.
