I like the look of that fruit, it will be interesting to see how many 2560s grow orange vs white. I will also be interested to see how they compare to chart.(orange vs white)1455 ott @ 10% gets your 1600. Some suggest that seed never stops growing. Keep the plant as healthy as possible and hold on for the ride

The color makes it an outlier compared to most, that's for sure. Probably not a HD contender as the stem end is more white than orange. We'll see how it matures. Of my two fruit, I think this one is more likely to go to-chart, the other one seems heavier. That said, I don't know well enough with thumping to say one way or another with certainty.

Wow that’s a proper pumpkin. BIG and GORGEOUS.
Just keep working on those roots and shoots.
Well done Ian

I forgot to say. I would go with nice plain fresh water from here on.
Once all of your leaves are fully developed that’s the time to stop feeding.
We haven’t feed for around 80days now and it’s working for us.
Good luck Ian

Thanks, Ian. Will take your advice to heart. Hope to be able to ride the soil during the next season I grow in; has just been hard this year with as much rain as we've gotten--especially in the early season. Didn't end up filling the patch with as many secondaries that stunted out on me.
