So Matt...faulty scale or are you thinking that the pumpkin skin absorbed water on the way to the next weighoff??

I've heard of growers putting soaking wet towels on their pumpkins after being cut from the vine but figured it to be one of those wives-tales.

Can you enlighten us on what you think caused it to go heavier the 2nd time? I think bad scale...
