I don't know about you but I need a target to work toward. So I created 2000 lb. benchmarks for 2017 that provide a target zone for pumpkin estimated weights (2013 GPC chart) for days 30-40-50 and 60 (and anywhere in between). So my target is to work hard to get in the orange powerzone starting on DAP30 and stay in the zone until after DAP60. That gets me to September on a winning trajectory.

*The powerzone represents the growth pattern of 11 pumpkins over 2000 lbs. All 11 traveled through the zone on their way to 2000 lbs. (2009/2075.5/2624.6/2261.5/2307ouw/2032/2328d/2230.5/2109/2252.3/2106)
