GROWING MS.WOLFIE IN A 400 SQ FT AREA --- LOOKING TO GROW 2K +
SO FAR SHES A BEAUTY AND ON PACE TO COME CLOSE. A GREAT SEED FOR SURE.
I CALL IT " THE RELAXED EFFORT " FOR FARTS 80 AND OLDER

Saw it in person at the tour Saturday. I think the secret is the rabbit poop.

Love this post! I grow in under 500 sf and have changed my expectations over the years on what a small patch can do.

Good luck Pap! And Go Chiefs! :D

Well, Andy, if you saw it you obviously took a picture, so go ahead and post it!

I saw it. ....was humungous for 400 Sq Ft. Hope to see it again at a Weigh-0ff in October.

I think you guys are being a little secretive....if this is a 400 sq foot Cinderella plant I'm gonna be disappointed!

Nice. Pic would be great.

Saw them on Saturday- both are very impressive pumpkins for small plants. A agree with Andy- I think the secret is the rabbit living in the plant, lol.

good to see your growing again pap

Well, this will certainly turn the hobby upside down. 2k, 400 sq ft, no greenhouse = AMAZING. Where is that British guy who was complaining that this was an unfair sport because only the rich could afford land?

Orange U Glad, Pap and Ron were the first to reach 2,000lbs, and wouldn't surprise anyone if they hit 3,000.

BarryL also said "them", lol, plural?

They never hit 2k in 400 sq ft. That's a pretty big difference. I think what Pap is doing now is just as impressive as breaking 2k for the first time with a 1200 sq ft plant.

4 Peepers - No pic.
Is there a code of darkness in play?
IDC and I am all in favor but I'm sure everybody was in
'Rock Concert Mode' with the so-called Smart Phones...
My 'Relaxed Effort' is not doing so well, PAP - Maybe in 22 years? Great job, nonetheless! eric g

Agreed Barry and Andy. THose bunnys keep producing a slow release fertilizer and deposit it in strategic locations all summer.

Fellow pumpkin heads, Guys & Gals,

At 50 days she was taping mid twelves - daily gains had dropped to 28 per day over those past ten days.(smaller plant will slow earlier ?)

If everything goes right (that's the kiss of death - lol) im expecting to tape between 1,700 and 1,800 and will need to go over chart- WE ALL WISH FOR THIS DONT WE.
No matter what happens im just glad at my age i can still remember where the patch is - lol

Stay well friends and thanks for the well wishes - love the hobby, love the growers we come in contact with
