Its going to vary based on plant size and weather.
Try to look more at 5 day avg growth values cc, ee, ss,

beyond day 20 4-5 ins in cc is what to shoot for daily.

Keep the plant healthy and the growth will be maintained

If that's normal then my 12 incher has some growing to do in the next 4 days! (6DAP).

I have around 200 sq ft max of plant so far so I guess that has some effect

Last year my 1450 Stei was 18 inches on Day 10. I would have culled it but the backup had terrible position and a very short stem. But, in general, I prefer 25 inches or more on Day 10. Day 10 really doesn't mean much, especially if you have multiple fruit on the plant.

Those are some pretty lofty numbers for day 10 and 20 for the average grower!! I think also, it depends greatly on your climate and many other factors.

For my area day 10 target is 20 inches and day 20 is 50 inches.

There have been monsters grown from crappy day 10 and 20 fruit, also some huge day 10 and 20 that never amounted to anything. I think these numbers need to be taken with a grain of salt. Day 30 and 40 are way more important.

I know a grower who has consistently grown giants and as I recall he once said he had never had a day 10 over 18 inches. Your environment is a lot like mine here in Colorado. A day 10 of 19-24 inches I think would be normal. Big or small at day 10 really doesn't matter. Around day 22-28 that pumpkin needs to be getting into gear however.

I find this document useful. It's a bit outdated and I realize there are exceptions to every rule, but that's why they are called guidelines and not rules.
