This is from bayer crop science regarding tomatoes. I think I will try to use this info to my advantage. It fits with my practical experience... while higher temps would give faster objective growth rates, I think the tortoise could beat the hare.

My pumpkin was only 40 lbs at DAP 20. And by that measure, if it was just 80 lbs at DAP 20, it could be estimating at 3400 lbs now, so I dont really need a pumpkin to estimate at 100 lbs by DAP 20, I just need one to estimate at 75 lbs or so... but for it to have a high cell density associated with slower (but actually optimal) cell division.

I think this is do-able.
