My big one on the main was up 3 inches over yesterday. I did the OTT mkeasurements and it is estimated at 49lbs--up from 40 yesterday--seems kinda slow growth at this stage. Circ. is just 50.5 on day 19--well short of the 68 I was shooting for, and still short of the 58 nI thought it would hit. The second biggest one was up 2 inches to 48 circ. (I did not do the other measurements for it). Also, I cut my third largest one (it was 33 lbs when I weighed it). I only have one other left (a very small one on a back secondary) just in case something happens to my prized two, I left it as a shock absorber for now. Still have not fertilized, I am a little worried it could cause a blowout--I only have the one plant, so I have to be careful--would hate for all my hard work to be wasted if I end up without a pumpkin. I will examine my daily gains next week, and if they are really slow (under 15-20lbs) I will start to fertilize with some miracle grow balanced blend.
