Is there anything one can deduce from looking at the size of the seed?
For instance, large seeds from small pumpkins or small seeds from large
pumpkins.
I have a very small seed ( the size of my thumbnail) from a pumpkin that
weighed over 900lbs. Just as good as any?

Hello. I have done alot of research on this topic on my own( Hands On).
During the winter month's of the last few years i have started hundreds of
seeds on heating mats and put them under grow lamps after they have broken
ground. What i have found is that the bigger seed's have alway's produced a
seedling that has bigger leaves and stems!! If you direct seed or indirect
seed you will find that the bigger seed's will produce a vine that is bigger
in diameter than a smaller one. I'm not saying you'll grow a bigger pumpkin
all i am saying that in my "EYES" bigger is better. But if the genetics
aren't there with some luck your not going to grow a huge one anyways!!
