Day 40 for the 1872 Sippel
Circumference =109"
OTT = 244.5
Estimated weight = 337 pounds
5 day average = 18.2 pounds per day

This one jumped back in front of the 1461 for my largest day 40 weight this year. Its started to orange up a bit too. It's starting to look a lot like my pumpkin from last year off of the same seed.

I did a tissue sample for the first time and it showed me deficient in Nitrogen and all of the micro nutrients other than Boron. Making some adjustments to the feeding program to try and correct things and I am also increasing the amount of water that I am putting on. We shall see if it makes a diference.
