1157.8 uow DeBacco ’20 dmg (Indoor 1989.5 dmg Daletas ’17 x self) 15% heavy
Days Old: 44
OTT = 359"
Est. Weight = 998 pounds
Final OTT was 359” for an estimated weight of 998 pounds. Actual weight (with lifting equipment zeroed prior to lifting the pumpkin) was 1157.8 pounds.
This means the pumpkin was about 15% heavy and only 44 days old on July 5th.
What it would have ended up if allowed to grow to maturity is anyone’s guess, but this does support the idea of starting early and adding heat and CO2 enrichment to help maximize growth.
