Outdoor 1989.5 dmg Daletas ’17 (x self)
*Anthesis Treated* Day: 49 OTT: 395” Est. Weight: 1317 pounds
While the indoor pumpkin and plant was one of (if not the) best preforming plant on record, the outdoor one cannot be forgotten. It has been getting all of the required vine burying and fertilizer/fungicide applications. However, it was a bit of a transition to go from a 1,100+ pound pumpkin to one that was under 100 pounds, but now it tapes bigger than the indoor pumpkin about 1-month later. It was almost like having another growing season.
Also, with the main vine breaking just past the female flower, the pruning method had to be adjusted so some vines have been swept forward and some tertiaries have been allowed to grow to help fill in the allowed area. The pumpkin is also on a down hill slope so the overall shape has been impacted, but the color will be orange!
The leaves look to be in great shape, but with this pruning method things will likely get a little messy as the season progresses.
