Amazing pumpkin to grow - first one I ever hit 50# a day on. Went through the effort to tent the pumpkin, and then the entire plant in preparation for the mid-September frosts. Unfortunately when I was gone for the KY weighoff, Amelia accidentally pointed the little heater directly at the fruit. When I checked it when I got back, it was cooked. You can see the two spots in this pic from the day I picked it. They were cooked / dehydrated enough to sink in. By the time I weighed it today, the fungus had started to set in. Between stopping watering, the cold September, and picking early, it probably would have normally been about 50 pounds heavier.
