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).
