Outdoor 1989.5 dmg Daletas ’17 (x self)
*Anthesis Treated* Day: 59 OTT: 415” Est. Weight: 1519 pounds
This is only the second time this pumpkin has been measured. Since it is the only one in the patch, it is what it is. The image was taken from the side to try and give an idea of the odd direction it is growing. It is on a hill and is positioned this way because of the broken main prior to pollination. This is not the ideal set-up and has required a few movements/adjustments to both the pumpkin and plywood underneath.
The stem is growing down so a hole has been dug and a fan placed on it to keep some air circulation since there is no sunlight on the area to help keep it dry. Inspections are a challenge but at least at the moment things seem to be in good order.
This angle provides the best view of the overall shape and the color keeps getting more orange each day which is not common, but great trait to see from the 1989.5 dmg Daletas.
