Here is a picture of the pumpkin flesh on the 502lb (estimate) pumpkin off a secondary. These walls were very thick except at the very bottom under the stem where there was a slight hole that rotted to the inside and caused some thinning (I think this was the result of me not repositioning the fruit and causing it to exert pressure under the stem—but who knows). When I dropped the lid on the hole the day after I harvested seeds it cracked down to the bottom under the stem and I could see that it had started rotting a little. The interior of the pumpkin was really fresh with a couple of seeds having sprouted. I think all in all, this fruit would have gone heavy had it been weighed.
