I am trying to grow a big atlantic giant. I would say it is about 25-30 pounds on July 15th. Just wondering how ever one else is doing if I am on pace with every one else. Thanks Nick

Hi Nick! First year grower here.
You can look at my diary here under PA_J in Allentown, PA.
I pollinated on the 22nd of June.

I've just uploaded photo's from today but they are currently awaiting approval.

Please tell us when pollination occurred then we are able to see how many days your pumpkin has been growing.
We then can create an average based on growth from other pumpkins.

Roll it. Drag it on carpet. Or rent a $300,000 crane to lift it over the house. I seen someone do that. But that's a little out of my budget :(

I try not to pay attention to other peoples measurements because it just gets me depressed. :) I am well ahead of my pace from last year which is good enough for me for now.
