Where can I find 14 day, 30 day 50 day info on smaller pumpkins that are say only going to be 300, 400 or maybe 700 lbs? Would like to copmare what I have to some "smaller" pumpkins to see where I fit in. All I can find are charts for the giant 1000lbs or likewise and I know I am not at that caliber yet? Any help would be great.

Right now I am at 135lbs at 24 days, almost 90lbs greater than I was at with my best ever last year which was 42lbs at 22 days and ended up at 289lbs.

Thanks for any help!

opps sorry for the double post.

I'm glad that some people find these numbers useful. Just be aware that everyone's fruit growth will vary depending on lots of factors... genetics, growing location, weather, etc... etc ... etc ...

My 520 was my first "real" official pumpkin. I was very excited all season long. It was weighted at Des Moines, Washington Haunted House weigh off. I think I came in 13th place (and there were only 14-15 pumpkins and one of those was another one of mine) but I was very happy !
