The plant overall is in great shape. The pumpkin has more of a white color that I was expecting but the shape is very symmetrical. However, it does appear that the blossom end will be sunken in a little bit. Despite the near ideal conditions created that there is no control over the lack of sunny days which may be hindering the overall growth potential of the pumpkin.
The reason for starting early is to help maximize the DLI (daily light integral) which is essentially the total amount of light the plant receives and since during periods of full sun the plant can not maximize the amount of light it is receiving shifting to the having the pumpkin grow during the longest 100 days of the year should help it have access to more usable light.
