2315 Zappa dmg day 30. Good news is it's around 546#. Bad news is I finally cut the stump off last Friday. When I cut it about 12 inches up, not 1 drop of water came out, yet it was pouring water at ground level, gallons a day I'm sure ! My hole I dug at the crown would fill up in 15 minutes. The stump started leaking way back at the end of June. I cared for it for 3.5 weeks ( what a pita !! )
So I really don't think the stump was working at full capacity throughout this pumpkins life, as it was pollinated on July 1st, the same time I did stump surgery. It grows a very aggressive plant like the pollinator last year, the 2405 Gunstrum.
Gains are down to 26# a day. I am very curious if this pumpkin will be heavy to chart because of the next entry
