waterboy 2.0 Posted February 2, 2014 I don't think its crankin as hard as it was....maybe goes hard then down to slow and steady Maybe because its so big its hard to see the weight gains. But this one may save the day... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stillman Posted February 2, 2014 how many days? It's going to be massive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterboy 2.0 Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) Be 'bout 15 days set for No 2 and 'bout 35 days No 1 (?) No 1 has had another spurt....the cool nights we've been having have slowed it up, a warm night last night provided positive satisfying growth...lol Edited February 3, 2014 by waterboy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stillman Posted February 3, 2014 Best growth is supposed to be day 40 to 50 so could be a real beast in the end. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stillman Posted February 6, 2014 that's a ugly pumpkin so what seed these come out of or is it a secret? I want zee seeds I'll do a swapsy if you like Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterboy 2.0 Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) lol...it will be secrets next year You are welcome to seeds out of these mate These ones are No 1 = 1166 Chappelle 11 +24% (1404 Bryson +25% x 1350 Starr +6%) - fruit it is a selfed pollination Ugly = 1205.5 Young 11 (922 Young x 1622 Young) - fruit is a cross with the above. I am thinking Ugly may not finish so large, but may have a fair bit of potential down the track. Edited February 6, 2014 by waterboy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bogfrog Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) Mines still lil but I'm certain it's growing now. Seen it do two growth bursts so far. Noooo idea when (or how) it was pollinated. But the weather has picked up! Regular hot hot days have finally come onto the scene. Vying for third... You can keep the spot warm for me HB. Will be another month or so and then I'll know if anything awesome is gonna happen or not. Took these pics a couple days ago Edited February 8, 2014 by Ceres 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterboy 2.0 Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) Toooo hot...but the pumpkins love it....hammering the water down now I am still getting a nice bit of growth on No 1....I was hoping for a nice orange one, but I reckon this one will be pale. This one will be heavy, its definitely got thick flesh. I am going to chainsaw carve a giant jack-o-lantern in this one....probably with a gas burner plumbed inside (or at least a kero lamp)...little man is gunna love it....lol and the ugly one has accelerated, I reckon this one will be more orange Edited February 8, 2014 by waterboy 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because I can't help myself...lol....and surely this thread hasn't pissed enough people off yet This is what two giant vines, back-to-back look like (1000L IBC Tank at back for scale).
