Here is a potential final estimation chart of my last growing pumpkin and it�s 10 day measurements. I�ve been growing giants for 9 years now and I have made a minimum and maximum estimated final tape weight for day 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90 day for every officially weighed pumpkin I�ve ever grown. For example my best day 40 tape vs final tape ratio was 245% or x 2.45. My worst ever was 205% or x2.05. Looking back on my pumpkins I know they should end up taping x 2 between day 40 and 50. I believe pumpkins grow relative with heat units so I don�t think my chart will line up with any one else unless your around 2200 gdu per summer average (May 5th - October 1st).
