Gordon,
This plant was starting to run out into the woods
and not much bare earth out there. On 7-28 the
estimated weight was 77.68 lbs. Stem is very low
to the ground and I've tried to move it up very slowly
a little at a time with no success.The garden runneth
over and much crowding is taking place. This is
the plant that I thought wouldn't make it. Plant and
learn, and since I am a first year grower, that stuff
is gonna happen. The main is still about 16-18 feet
long with pumpkin located about half way out. I
think a dog had broken some of the secondaries
about 2 weeks ago and some of them were dead
at the point of the break with some broken at the
junction with the main anyway. But, if this one
doesn't make it, I've already got 4 more giants on
3 other vines, and 10 more plants that should be
bearing flowers any day now (and that includes
the Castellucci's and the Kunde's, which is really
the BIGGIES I'm waiting for). Thanks for the input
and for posting the formula for estimating weight.
By the way, how's your plants doing?
