Jon-- I would love to have pumpkins 20 inches in 10 days. These bench
marks are good to go by but are majorly influenced by climate,night temps
etc.......so lets say like last week when the marine layer came in and
stayed all day all week growth was slow. I didn't hit the bench mark.
....What do i do hit them hard with fert....makes no difference it
temps....... nothing happened.. WHAT DO YOU DO??
Am I out....................not hitting the bench
for setting a world record probably.
But I'll say one thing how many of those bench mark busters do you see at
weigh-offs..........maybe the one lucky king dog that survived. And the
rest are those that didn't give up on the slow start and moderate growth.
I'd set until your happy no one knows how the chips will fall till the
pumpkins are on the scales.
Do I only play the game if I know I will win ?? In my case I'm gaining
weight on humble pie....damn pumpkins.............Mbrock
