									It turned out that i lived 15 minutes away from a grower named Matt Debacco. Steve said he was pretty knowledgable so I reached out and he invited me to come see his greenhouse. I was in shock. You guys have seen it in his grower diary but its 10x more shocking in real life. The first time I went in there I just started laughing. His leaves were all 3ft wide and 4ft tall, perhaps due to his CO2 supplementation. To make a long story short. Matt helped me out constantly throughout the season and even was featured in a youtube video on my channel where we do a patch walkthrough. Matt took my level of understanding from a 1/10 to a 6/10 or maybe higher. All I have to do now is apply it next year and grow the giant that I know I can. Here we are taping Steve Connolly's 150sqf challenge pumpkin. Thanks Matt!
