Speaking of coffee as a stimulant for pumpkin vines...I always add my
coffee grounds to the compost bin. High in potassium. Seems to be
incorporated in the compost rather well.

Subject: RE: plant stimulants and 734 report from Spencerville.
OK Team
I confess I used a plant steroid this year. (but Source is Confidential
till next fall). This stuff I used to folair feed and found that one
should
not apply before fruit is set. I blame the steroid on producing mutant
pumpkins on two of my plants. Had seeds growing on the outside of the
pumpkin off the side of the pistil (flower). A separate appendage about
the
one eight the diameter of the female part sticking(15mm long 5mm
diameter)
out at 90 degrees to the pistil half way up, with roughly 6 seeds
growing
from the end (seeds approximately 5mm long) forming their own little
flower. This occurred on the first pumpkin on two of my plants. First
one
out quit at soccer ball size - turned white. The one on second plant
grew
to 150 lbs. then split. I had pollinated my 734 on this plant by this
time,
but wasn't paying any attention to it since my Greer 1006 was growing so
much. Actually cut 8-10 feet off the 734 plant to allow the 1006 plant
more
room in early August. The 734 had the largest diameter pistil I've seen.
I
think it was larger in diameter than the pumpkin. Another mutant I said
to
myself at the time. I normally cut the pistil off with a knife flush
with
the pumpkin but for this one since I didn't give it much hope I snapped
it
off with my thumbnail which produced a rough and wavy surface. At 734
#'s
the blossom end was 200-300mm (10-12 inches) in diameter. and the waves
were 80mm (3") deep. Upon dissection found that the thinnest section of
hard skin was only 5mm thick (1/4 inch) so probably would not have made
it
to 1000 #'s. But it did make a great boat.
The 734 plant was not pruned, not buried, ignored, cut back very early,
had
small leaves, only got 20-20-20 foliar once or twice, got the steroid
twice
early and then again about twice after it was 400-500#. Grew on a patch
7ydsx7yds 440 sq feet.(41 sq. m). Only other thing I did was gave it
along
with all plants 5 hand fulls of 10-10-10 solid fertilizer in the 2m dia
circle that I started it in, and a bit more as I tilled the circle
bigger.
Also didn't till in the fall (had no time) till McIntyre brought his
machine over about 1 week before planting . (Thanks again Paul) I did
till
in some leaves then that I had in bags over the winter though at that
time.
Paul also gave me 5 plants as I had trouble germinating mine. The only
thing that grew for me was the Greer. (Thanks again Paul).
Any insight here? 200- 734 Seeds donated to the OSLGA for their seed
distribution plan which they distribute with their membership.1998 Seeds
from Sproule, Greer, Ray, Gibson, McIntyre, Baird, Rose, Lanerman,
Bruce,
Klyne, Legras, Marcellus and Other Top Seeds Available. This is where I
got my Greer 1006.

Alfalfa provides a type of plant growth hormone to when mixed into the
soil.
Not sure how long it takes to release this so the plants can use it.

Subject: Re: caffeine
I have heard of the coffee theory as well, haven't tried it though. It
stimulates a plants metabolic rate much like a humans, tough to control
however and may cause premature maturing of the fruit. It might be fun
to
throw on a pound or two just for onryness.
