I believe sib pollinated is crossing with another plant from the same pumpkin. Self pollinated is crossing a male with a female on the same plant.

Can someone let me know it that is right????

Hoppy,
Say you grow 2 846's, if you take a male from plant A, and use it to pollinate a female on plant B (the sibling) that is sibbing. Taking a male from plant A and using it to pollinate a female on plant A you are self pollinating. Good luck,
Tom
