You done kicked some major Maine butt my friend. Way to let them know at least one other Maine boy besides Al Berard can grow a good one. You are the man...I just regret that I never got down to see this giant. Congratulations my friend.

i have the seeds rinsed clean and drying although i am unsure on when to rinse them in a light bleach solution..now while they are still damp or after they have dryed a little any suggestions.

Yo Lobsta,
I let em dry for a while and put some fungicide powder over them...that kills anything off.If your gonna use bleach..do it before they dry.

i grew it off the cox-1048..the pumpkin had multiple splits but the plant was way over fertilized and the pumpkin had groth spurts it could'nt handle..my inexperience.

jeff352 yes it did jeff. i wanted to post some pictures of it,but it caught the mosiac virus at about 30#. it was one butt-ugly pumpkin with warts and bumps and all kinds of deformities from that virus.my kids were scared of it, my wife would`nt go to my patch after dark. it was a really good looking pumpkin until 30# so i know the seeds are great! it was the armstrong 553 that died.
