Here's the fruit's best side (the one without hail pockmarks). There is some more orangish pink colour in the skin. But, most of it is still pretty creamy yellow.
It realy does seem to have stopped, or severely slowed down, in growth. The circumference has grown less than an inch in two weeks. The end to end and side to side measurements haven't grown much more in the same period. So, I think that I am at the point where my main mission is just to keep the plant alive and the pumpkin from rotting before the weigh-off.
The OTT total was 214-3/4" yesterday around noon. The circumference was at 90-3/4", end to end 58-1/2", side to side 65-1/2". That should make the estimated weight about 215 pounds. But, I would expect it to go a bit light since the stem end did not grow as much as the blossom end.
