I'm looking for some info on the following Stucker seeds. I'd like to know some of the largest pumpkins grown on them and which one produces the best orange color.
1105 (846 Calai x 801 Stelts)
963 (801 Stelts x 935 Lloyd)
841 (801 Stelts x 846 Calai)
782.5 (940 Mombert '98 x 801 Stelts)

I grew a 963 and it was a beautiful, orange, smooth skinned pumpkin with great shape. It has been grown over 1000 lbs. 1082 I believe.

1105 grew 3 500 pounders......medium orange off-spring.
963 grew 1 over 1,000, 2 over 900, 2 over 800, 1 over 600.....medium to light orange.
841 grew 1 over 900, 1 over 800, 1 over 600, 1 over 500.......throws nice medium to dark orange.
782.5 grew 1 over 900, 1 over 700, 2 over 600.......throws mostly dark orange.

for darker color go with the 841 or 782.5
for larger size go with the 963.

I agree with what George stated.
I've grown the 963 and 782.5.
The 963 threw a 906 lb-er state record for me in 2004. It was a nice round, medium orange pumpkin that was heavy to the chart.

The same year the 782.5 threw a beautiful dark orange pumpkin for me, it was a light to the chart, 671 lbs. This plant was a flat vine - which was cut ... the fruit was on a secondary trained to be the main.

I grew a 963 in 04 which produced a 808lber. It was really nice orange. There is a picture of it in the weigh-off board from Durham Fair 04.
