Here is the fruit on the main that I just measured. It tapes out to a maximum of about 695 lbs right now (327.5 OTT). Although, the widest point has a rib that is wider than the rest of the pumpkin--this concerns me as it could be a fair bit lighter(??) Check out the large shoulders though. I hope that saying “big shoulders go heavy" is true when I weigh this monster.
Also note as I pointed out--still quite pale white and not a lot of rib definition yet. Time will tell if it gains or stops. Right now it is getting some veins--anybody know what that means when the shoulders get "veiny". Stem splits on this one are not too deep at all--about an inch or so.
I think I will try terminating tertiary growth soon to give it more of a push. I may also resume the foliars now that i have many new leaves and need not be as concerned about aphids on the young leaves.
