I believe it is now official the 700 Paynter has not grown at all in the last 24 hrs. on the main vine (fried)and it will be buried later. The secondaries continue to grow and dead headed four at their max length of 12' was going to be 15' but used 3' on each side for a walk way around the patch on the inside of the wind break. The main vine is 21' giving a total of 504 sq. ft. for the plant once secondaries are all maxed.
As for Pumpkins the one at 11' aborted, the pic enclosed is of pum-p-kin pollinated Fri. at around 15' so it is now three days old and growing slowly but surely. There is one more to pollinate by the looks of it on Sat. and that will be it for this plant, as the pollination window would have closed for a 60 day grow till weigh off as I don't think any will be open on the secondaries till later next week.
As for the store bought AG, it wil either set a new record
for the largest pumpkin in the smallest area or it will turn out to be a small pumpkin. Pumpkin a) is officially "Pork chop" the b) pumpkin was culled in favour of pollinating one of three females at the end of one of two back vines. This will be it as well for pollinating this plant, no more females to open. All vines main, back and secondaries have been dead headed. As for the comments earlier the plant was pruned exstensively as it is at the top growing area of the 700 Paynter cross wise. It measures 19' long and 44" wide for a total of 66 sq.ft.
Go ahead laugh get it out of your system.
The main is 15' long with "Pork chop" at the end, the secondaries are roughly 22" on either side of the main and two back vines run in the opposite direction from the main back from the stump to about 4' a pumpkin will be set here as well.
