Charlie’s 2501 seed looks really good! The shape of that fruit was perfect. Travis’s Godzilla seed should be a top pick too! If I recall it was 200 something pounds ahead of MJ and that fruit went to become the 2749 so Godzilla the seed of what could have been….

Plus the fact both where in thirds is just crazy to me!

I got lucky with both of mine crossed them into each other both tall round and 6% heavy...I'm planting both the 2184 and 2239.5...really can't decide which one is best so i'll let them decide! Bring on 2024!

There are so many amazing seeds and not enough growers. It's so hard to choose nowadays because of how many great genetics are out there! Imagine all the great seeds that go unplanted!

Having such a small area I have to go with proven seeds

Time will tell this time next year.

What do you like Russ? The New calif. record has my attention along with about 20 others.

Excluding Travis’s seeds, I think that Stillwater had some of the best crosses out there this year. I also like Charlie’s 1989 x 2560 cross. I still think the 1989 could do something big and heavy in the future, it already grew a 2100 pounder this year and I think that crossed with the 2560 could be great. Other than Charlie’s crosses, Brian’s 2420, Doc’s 2144, and Pete’s 1965 all interest me for big orange potential.

Iam a little bias, but excited to see what a few of these 1707.5 Caspers x 2365 Wolf crosses will do. Iam sure Ron's will see a lot of dirt, and I know Iam going to give both my 1935.5 and 2088 a shot next year. Hopefully the 1965 pleases the orange army

I’m on the 2239.5 Marintzer bandwagon. That’s a big pumpkin for being Kansas grown and has a huge cross (2184 Marintzer).

2245.5 Andrusz and 1783 New, This next seed is totally biased, but I believe my daughter’s 1109 McMillin will produce something great! It’s the cross I wanted to make before my 2023 season tragically ended. It’s a (2365x2183) x (2183x2365). In my personal opinion I believe the 2183 Mendi and 2365 Wolf to be the greatest producers of HEAVY pumpkins over 2,000lbs with several over 2500lbs! So that’s the reason her 1109 is the seed I'm the most excited to plant next season. I will be crossing it with the 2245.5 Andrusz bringing two more 2365s and one 1885 into the genetics for the following season.
