I'll have to let you know later, our 1161 is only day 23 today however, is the largest day 20 for us ever and largest spike in daily weight gains also.

Expectig big things to come, if all holds together and the weather stays the same.

Ours if very round, high and deep!! Full steam ahead!!

1161's tend to be late growers.

Yes , mine started slow, peaked about day 55, then started a very slow decline. Had good gains right till harvest which was around 99 days. Ended up at 1081 which was far better than I would thought at day 30. Your doing great. Hold on tight!

I'm growing a 1304 Sperry (1610 Leiber [1161xself] x 1161) which is steeped in 1161 so your comments PatchMaster are extremely encouraging. Weather in the UK has been appauling; cold, wet and overcast so there is some hope for a 30 day pumpkin with a diminitive OTT of around 130" to gain some weight over the remaining 60 or so days. Thanks, encouragement was needed!
