I'm getting frustrated. I went out to pollinate "the one" this morning and she only had 3 lobes. Anyone ever grow anything decent on a low number of lobes? I'm starting to stress about these darn pumpkins, and my darn Beachy plant throwing me crappy deformed females doesn't help! Sigh...

Tom maybe the Prb they are having is linked, how you germinating Brigitte? Just a note of mention, 20 years ago in Mo. and a land far away, a "friend" of mine taped some seed from a "alternative crop" (see brian's Raided post)to the picture tube in his T.V. and the dang stuff vined out across the ground like Ivy!

lol. when starting seeds, i didnt even use hormones or radiation or anything funky. PURE water... i just soaked it. nick's 1097 has yet to have a normal female also and he starts his seeds different yet.
