I know everyone is busy with with weigh off right now and I really enjoy seeing all the results from growers who I follow all year.Fall is a great time!
Personally I had some bad luck this year but still ended up with my pb.It's a great feeling.
The kin I ended up with had very good shape and showed no signs of spliting and went heavy.The only problem was it had a big blossom,about 5 inches round in a 600lb. kin.
I'd like to grow this again next.Alot of grower say to avoid genetics like this.Just looking for some feed back.
Is is worth growing again? Thanks!

most of the really biggins have a "normal" button sized blossom or as of late a "tucked under" mr. smiley blossom.

those big round nipple looking blossoms dont usually amount to much -- in my opinion only

Thanks Pap.
I notice that too with alot of the big ones.Small blossom,big kin.
I have alot of time to think about it.Just like the shape and growth of this pumpkin.
Sure I'll change my mind about 50 times by next april.lol

When you open it up look to see how thin the blossom end is. That probably will help you with your decision.
