It's now 6 dap and doing well as far as I can tell. It's nearly doubling in size each day so I'm hoping it'll hold strong and we don't lose her http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=359603 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=359603 Mon, 08 Jun 2026 10:51:49 GMT I went out and took a photo of the flower I pollinated two days ago, I mistakenly said in my last post that it was 3 DAP but it's really only been 2 DAP.

No pics today as I haven't taken any in a while, just been worrying over pollination and there's tons of grass in my patch ... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=359503 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=359503 Thu, 04 Jun 2026 13:59:09 GMT We're at almost 5 feet out for two of the plants! I've already had to pinch a few female buds, hoping to have some that I can let grow in the next few days. So far, I think this is my favorite part, c... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=359080 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=359080 Tue, 19 May 2026 15:03:07 GMT They're really vining out!

I'll be staking them this weekend to start training them but they look like they're going to start without me h... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=358808 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=358808 Thu, 07 May 2026 15:03:50 GMT Main hill is starting to get crowded, I think I'll have to cull the left side plant pretty soon :( he's starting to get choked out by the other two and isn't growing as big or as fast. Lowe's plant is... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=358807 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=358807 Thu, 07 May 2026 15:01:36 GMT Photo of today's progress with hand for scale! http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=358763 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=358763 Tue, 05 May 2026 15:04:30 GMT They're even bigger now :D I'll post another photo with my hand for scale but my goodness, they're growing fast.

He's still growing and greening but just not as fast nor as large as the main hill. Maybe he'll catch up, we'll have to wait and see http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=358584 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=358584 Tue, 28 Apr 2026 11:32:23 GMT We're really starting to get somewhere!

The stem is creased so I'm not sure this one will make it, but I'll keep caring fo... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=358391 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=358391 Tue, 21 Apr 2026 14:18:55 GMT Pictured today is my Lowes hill! It's not quite as photogenic as my Gurneys hill but I'm not convinced it won't be my best hill at this point!
