Note a 10 LB pumpkin has over the top measures of 70 inches.
Note these are average growth rates over a 5 day period for Champion Pumpkins.
Days from 10 lbs. Average Growth Rate per Day to get a Champion Pumpkin.
0-5 2.5 lbs./day
5-10 10--------------John you are in the middle here at about 10+
10-15 22-24 lbs./day. In the next three days look for some
15-20 24-27 high growth rates, and the next 20 days after that
20-25 23-27 will determine whether you have a champion.
25-30 21-25
30-35 17-20
35-40 13-16
40-45 10-12
45-50 8-10
50-55 6-8
55-60 5-6.5
60-65 3.5-5
65-70 2.5-3.5
70-75 1.8-2.2
75-80 1-1.4
Totaling these growth rates against the days gets you between a 850 LB to 1000 + LB result.
Good Luck.
