Hi
How is everyone on the northern side of the world?
Anyway I have one plant which has produced a triple powered runner. It is actually three vines fused together. From each node comes three leaves and there is three females at the one node. It however is not the main vine although it is growing at an astronomical rate. My question for you more experienced growers is, first, have you seen this before? and Will the pumpkin be three times as big?

Down under , Hi I just read this note after responding to your latest, it sounds like you got a mutant on your hands! I had one of those last year on my LaRue 1016, three fused vines untill about 4' out then they went their own ways,the plant was awsome, and my biggest fruit came off of it although it split at the stem in the late season. Sherry LaRue told me she grew her 1016 on a secondary vine, I had mine on the main which could be why mine split, to much "power" in the main. I believe that the AG seed your working with and my LaRue 1016 are closely related causing the mutation (Punkin Insest)?
P.S we are below freezing 21 deg. F. and 8" of snow! I've been out "turd hunting" though for next years soil amendments... Best wishes Gads...
