Indoor 1989.5 Daletas ’17 dmg = Great Plant, but Split Pumpkin

Overall, this plant was near ideal in many aspects. There was plenty of material to support a pumpkin and sadly, this pumpkin split so the plant is being removed much earlier than intended.

It is going to take some time to remove all of the plastic, fans, sensors, controllers, purlins, hoops, but this is a quick look from above.

The area is about 32ft wide and 40ft long with the plant pruned in the traditional Christmas Tree / Box style with the pumpkin out about 18ft from the initial plant site.

Sad to remove everything during the heat of early July and think… what it could have been?
