Well, I can't ignore this pumpkin any more. Yesterday it had a cc of 60" and this morning it has a cc of 64", ee of 45", ss of 44" and I pollinated it with seeds in the 5-lobe blossom on the 5th making it 13dap 84 est lbs...crazy. I have ignored this plant because it has aborted the last 3 kins and I blew up the kin that was further out at about 28' on the main. I've never had one this big this early even with that I'm not getting my hopes up too much with it. Its mother was real long and blah lookin but over percentage on the scale @ 739 UOW. It came from a Silver Bullet Hollands seed that a friend of mine grew in '13 locally here. this plant is in rough shape and tons of weeds. Will slowly get it back in condition hopefully. It is crossed with my 783(A)plant UOW '14. Also this is the only plant that seems to like the mid 90's temps and High Humidity. No Flagging at all.
