i have read that segments have nothing to do with pumpkin size. well, how about a 3 lober? first one i have ever seen on a main vine that i need to take a chance on. it is the 885 #2 plant at 21' and was sibbed with the 885 #1 plant. it is a nice cool morning for a change and the highs will be in the upper 70's. still not sure if the last one took, but i have a feeling that at 4 days old now it should be bigger than it is so i doubt it. we will see. i have curved the main so that it can cut in front of 885#1 plant for another 15' so sooner or later i will get one set on this plant, even if its 35' out. no secondaries have room from here on out, so it will just be the main that will grow that long until one gets going on it. here is a pic of Homer on the 1247 x 1446 at 16 days and 41" circ. at this pace Homer will be maybe 90 inches circ by day 30.
