This year i grew a 729.5 pound pumkin. I don't remember what seed grew the plant. I do have the genetics to the seed. ( I lost the seed packet but wrote down all the genetics, I just forgot to write down the name of the seed.)
I new the seed came from a pumkin that dave hampton grew. So here are the genetics 758 Wallace X 855 Kuhn or the other way around. Any help is much apprreciated.

Just checked the AGGC and I don't see that he has any pumpkins listed with ethier of those as parents. If it was a pumpkin that was under 500 pounds it wouldn't be listed.

I checked down to 400 lbs and couldn't find a Hampton with those parents either.

It may have been a genetic cross that wasn't weighed.
I bought seeds from Don Langevin's website, and the gentics were listed, but no weight of the pumpkin the seeds came from. It was stated that the seeds were from one of Steve Connelly's pumpkins.

I have some 582 Hampton'03 seeds that are 854 Kuhn x 758 Wallace.
Seems pretty close.

Thanks for the help. I did get the seeds from Don Langevin. I think the pumpkin might not have been officially weighed so it might not be in the AGGC database.

Thanks dave. So the 855 was the female. I'm still kind of new at this so I do not no. The pumpkin i grew had a great orange color. I'm a little bit color blind so orange kinda looks like a lite yellowish red color. Think you could spare a 627.

Thank you all.
