Is there a chance of a 1000 pound pumpkin?
In the previous post I did on the 17th (you can read it by clicking here ) I had just pollinated a female that morning on the 1990 Marintzer plant. The earliest I had ever had a pollinated pumpkin was July 8th. As of this morning the plant was looking VERY good and the pumpkin had made progress, although not as far a long as a few previous pumpkins. Today would be DAP7 (7 days after pollination) and was about 1.7 pounds. Unfortunately, there is still a chance the pumpkin could abort on its own. I did have a backup female that I pollinated 3 days later and it is growing nicely too. The make-or-break decision will come early next week on whether I keep the DAP7 or the DAP4. If it's going to make it, then it should be around 15 pounds on Monday. Here was the DAP7 pumpkin as of this morning.... As I mentioned, the plant is very impressive for the 24th of June. The other pumpkin plant in this plot is the 595 Hutton and that plant is the one that I had issues early on as it wilt
