I do not know. Sorry I cannot help you there but the circumference on my larger pumpkin at 20 days is 75". I hope that is somewhere near average.

The previous version of the Ailts-Landry Benchmarks had a listing of the 3 smallest and 3 largest 10, 20, 30, and 40, day circumferences to reach at least 1000 pounds. When I got the latest version from Joe, I wrote over the older version. The newer version doesn't have it.

Craig,

Good info posted here a few years back. Not exactly what you are looking for, but nevertheless, good info on fruits near and over the 1000.

Ontario, Canada.

The old record was D20, 87.5" Based on only the data we collected. I have already this season received word that the record was recently smashed......It now stands at a whopping 92".

The warmth of this summer, up from the south appears to be boosting the usually cool season growers. Corn ie well ahead of schedule all over the Great Lakes States and Ontario.

Look for 1500 & over 1000 green in the fall

Yup, Agree, I believe this year we will be seeing ALLOT of 1000 + pounders being weighed off, biggest will probably be close to 1550-1600 lbs

92"? Damn. 1367.5 at day 20 today, circ 91 :(... If only I would have waited until 10am to measure...OK, who whipped out 92"???

I sure hope that all of those great 20 day measurements continue to grow. It would really be great to see 1500 pounds go down this year. Don't forget that slow and steady wins the race, so don't push them to hard.

day 17 today, 79cc. Agree owen, I'm not doing any pushing here. I have not culled the other fruit yet do to this growth rate. Sure hope she doesn't blow. Already have stight split on the stem (it is with the grain not against it).

Here you go- Keep in mind these were the largest of the fruit in the 1000+ category that made it to a scale (the exeption being 1432 Carlson, and that fruit has 3 data points in the numbers below)

Day 10: 31.5, 32.5, 33.5
Day 20: 85, 85, 87.5    
Day 30: 128.5, 130, 131    
Day 40: 151, 155, 160

And here's some hope for those of you with fruit that havent broken any day 10-20-30-40 records. Smallest 3 circs that did make to 1000:

Day 10: 19, 23.5, 25    
Day 20: 50, 53, 58    
Day 30: 90, 96 ,98    
Day 40: 120, 121, 125

Thanks for posting these numbers Joze.

I wonder if the fruits that taped 85, 85, and 87.5 at 20 days
ended up at 1200 and up? And if the fruits that taped 50, 53,
and 58 just barely made it to 1000?

I can only hope, because I'm at 56. Sigh.

Thanks Joe.

Glad to hear so many are posting good 20 day numbers. Don't forget, however, that the aforementioned heat which is helping drive those numbers usually not seen in the north, can also be responsible for ripening out your fruit earlier than usual. Just ask the guys from the south. I hope I don't sound like a pessimist here, just a realist. Here's hoping all reach 1000#, but also that everyone takes a little extra precaution not to push your fruit into splitsville while it is growing so fast...
Also, thanks, Joe, for those numbers. Very helpful benchmarks...

Thanks Joe for those numbers! Being a newgrower it helps to see what has been done before. Craig

Joze The numbers for the chart Are they the three way measurement or just the circumference??

Moony- everything is reported in inches circumference.

Day 20 minium: 50"=1028 Fisher, 53"=1062 Rivard, 58=1004 Werner
