Possibly gravity keeps them smaller. Can water and nutrients flow uphill? Do
pumpkins grow faster around the new or full moon when the moon is closer to
the earth? The gravitational pull of the moon affects the tides why not
pumpkin growth? Has anyone experimented growing pumpkins downhill? Plant at
the top of the hill. Let vines run downhill to pumpkins?

Because Atlantic Giants have trouble holding themselves up when they grow very
fast it may be a problem growing them on too steep of a hill. At the rapid
growth stage they often act like a water balloon.
