here is a pic of Ole' Crackey at 6:30 am on the exact 9 days since pollination at 18.5" in circumference, not including the blossum bulge knob at the end. it grew 1" from 6:30pm last night in cold low 50 degree temps. so 2 inches per day will put it at over 20" on day 10 morning if all goes well. that is not too bad of growth for the cold nights we had the past 5 nights. my 695 handy pumkin last year was ecxactly 20 inches at day 10 and and took off like a race horse after day 20. i hope Ole' Crackey doesn't meet the same fate with a blossum end split though. hopefully the Crackster can keep them Splittsville Blues away and has gotten its cracking and healing out of the way early with its early stem splits. like everything else, time will tell.
