A different way of growing


I bet this has been tried and I'd like to know of any experiences anyone had with growing one of these giants on their base versus their side.  Pros vs. cons and maybe a better seed for such an endeavor.  I know the base end of these 'pumpkins' are usually thinner and suceptible to splitting but as I look at my 'pumpkin' it is as near round as one can get by growing on its side.  I'm postulating trying to grow one on its base next year to see if it would appear more "pumpkin-like".
 
Thanks for any input.
