I feel sorry for all the pumpkins lost.

I wonder if it is maybe a imbalance of some nutrience that causes splits?

To have given it the best shot that anyone could have
and to have had the fruits you guys have HAD are stellar
achievements, no matter what.
Indeed, sorry to see that this has happened.

When you push them as hard as they do these years happen. It's what makes them such great growers.

We've seen what they have the potential to do. When they get one of those good ones to hold together, they're going to make history.

Two of the greatest guys out there when it comes to growing and helping others.
Like Andy said, the year it comes together for them is going to be a year all out jaws drop!

I know these two are already looking at their notes and going over everything with a fine tooth comb.

Know we're thinking of you and like Mehdi said,,, take a nice fishing trip! Possibly Panama for a month. We were just down that way and the last thing I was thinking about was pumpkins with that weather and fishing that can be some of the best in the world! Tropical air, a hammock, light afternoon rain showers and that weather I just love! Hot, humid and the ocean is right there!

Tough year for many, its unfortunate. I'd be interested in the crosses they made though, I'd love to try out a Paton seed... I'd squeeze some good luck out of those seeds!

No one gets away clean each and every year- Especially growers like Ian and Stewie who by the way, we consider in the top tier of experienced growers and systems in the world today.
THEY WILL BE BACK STRONGER THAN EVER NEXT SEASON.
