Hi all I have I have 3 plants with small females at the end of the main vine.I also have just a tiny one at the end of the main vine on one.So on all 4 of my plants theres one at the end of the main vine.Im going to a friends house for Tuesday the 1st to Sunday the 6th.Can anyone estimate if I will be back in time for hand pollinating these babies.My season is just now starting to get better for me small plants with having a pumpkin on the main vine at the end once I get thoes started and they last for a couple weeks and there hand pollinated I plan on culling the open pumpkins from the plants.

~Thanks~

How small is "small"...to some small is golf ball size...if that is the case you will prbly miss them...if small is pea size, you might make it home in time. Hope this helps. Peace, Wayne

7-10 days from pea size to pollination, in my limited experience. Peace, Wayne
