Day 40: F: 2154 Sperry '23 (x M: 2670 Thompson '24)
OTT = 349"
Est. Weight = 920 pounds
Avg. over last 10 days = 37.35 pounds per day
The pumpkin is favoring a long shape with a sunken in blossom end, with some stripes developing along the ribs. Looking at the above stats many would not complain, but unfortunately, this is a bit concerning to me. The day 30-40 days of a pumpkins life the growth should be ramping up and this rate of 37.35lb per day is actually down more than 3 pounds a day during a critical time the rate per day should be increasing. The plant and pumpkin all look great, but it is the rate of growth to days old that is the concern. Time will tell how this pans out over the next 10 days, but to quote Star Wars.
"I have a bad feeling about this."
