I obtained the bench mark charts fron the GVGO site. Granted I know I am running a little late. Pollinations were7/14 for G2. 7/18 for P2 and 7/24 for B3. Now till the weigh off I have 76-80days of growing season left. Right now in the perfect patch the B3 is on a 1000-1100 lb track. The P2 is on a 700-800 lb track. The G2 is on a 1100 lb track. So based on how my late season weather and temps are will be the deciding factor as to the final size. The plants are strong. Will cont the spray program.
I bought a ton of sand yesterday for this year and next and the... I was buying bags of sand at Lowes for $3 something for 60 lbs. I bought 5 so far. The ton with taxes was 26 bucks and some cents.
I have styrofoam under the Gayle pumpkin and the Bailey pumpkin. The Papez I was concerned about stem stress it is only on sand. I do have sand under the other 2 on top of the styrofaom. The pumpkins reposion easier on the sand on top of the styrofoam than on sand only. I continue to adjust each pumpkins positon every day or every other day.
