Weekly measurements taken today. Had 5 days over 90 degrees this week which is very rare for us here in the North East. New growth that is close to filling in 1,020 sq ft for each plant is mostly burnt. Sorry no time for photos today as I was pressed for time to get everything done. I'll post some photos in a day or so.
2008: DAP 41 733 pounds 161 pounds for week. Disappointing as it only averaged 23 pounds per day. Hey there not all going to be "All - Stars"
1790: DAP 40 881 pounds 273 pounds for the week 38 pounds per day average
2009: (Paps) DAP 38 873 pounds 332 pounds for the week 47.5 pounds per day average. Great shape pumpkin that really took a nice jump in some hot weather this week.
2009: DAP 37 1,033 pounds up 385 pounds for the week almost a 55 pounds per day average. I dont know what to say been growing 28 years, never had one grow this quick. I am however "nursing" 2 spots on the main vine that I found while inspecting the other day. The vine from taking in so much water / rain split lengthwise(about 6 inches) in 2 spots and had started to get a bit soft. Bleach, sulfur 3 - fans and fingers crossed!
2230: DAP 36 642 pounds up 255 pounds for the week averaging 36.5 pounds per day. Starting to pick up after a very slow start.
