my 392.5 was a little over the charts. Over all I was very happy with this plant and would grow it again. If I could do last year again id have grown it in the patch instead of the yard...LOL Good luck Mike

Mine was nearly 15% over another on the same plant felt similarly heavy but was never weighed.

My 1076.5 was within a couple pounds of the chart, one of the segments did not get pollinated, I'm sure that cost me some weight.

My main fruit on the 845 stopped growing for some reason. I think the extreme temps during pollination time were to blame. I had a fruit on a secondary which was open pollinated sometime in early August which I pretty much ignored and it turned into my best pumpkin in the patch. It estimated at 500 plus pounds and it had beautiful color and shape. I would not hesitate planting the 845 again.
