List,
I found my big one blown today. Final measurements 106.5-67-67=240.5.
Est. weight by Cir.=302lbs at over the top=296.5lbs. Will weigh later today.
Culled a 135lb pumpkin from this plant two days ago. Won't do that again in
one shot. What did I learn? I think other pumpkins should be culled over a
few days. Cut the stem a little each day, maybe over a 3 day period. This
will slowly shift the "juice" to your other pumpkins, hopefully saving you a
blossom end blow out like mine. This pumpkin was pol. on 6-10 and was from my
480 est. ( 935 Lloyd x 600 Jones) plant.
