Used a lot of Plant of health products gone all organic used some myco products in the soil too, regular foliar spraying but gave it a hell of a lot more water so far and a greater prepared bed so have a bigger buried vine root mass to pull from.

as you can see a bit of powdery mildew is going to stitch me up a bit but I hope the vine will mostly hold up.

Looking good WB this ones growing here, 20 day I reckon it will go big as the Vine if frigging mammoth, the key is the size of the vine behind the pumpkin not in front I have read to let the secondaries behind the pumpkin go wild. and bury and water.
Some pics

philocacti I used really large rubber bands was not easy all the grafst were very small button pups forced using bap so I didn't have a great deal of height to make them all "wobbly".
Mutant I use sugarcane mulch or lucern to help supress weeds and help reduce evaporation on all my gardens.

Nice one, I'm back, this is my Ekka grow, I'm keeping 2 pumpkins on hedging my bet, I'll probably regret it but I want to make sure I have something on in the end.
8 days old, I have a good feeling about this one.

have you taped it yet?? got to be 200kg plus I reckon
-
Comes out of a 318kg line from a grower in Victorian, has some big pedigree but will see how it goes here, already seeing signs of powdery mildew so that's a concern, I am watering this one a bit harder so I think I will see some solid growth.

Best growth is supposed to be day 40 to 50 so could be a real beast in the end.

do jap quail instead buy an egg incubator and do some research good turn around plus delicious eggs. They are incredibly placid animals and don't squeal when you kill them like bunnys.

fence it and get goats there will be no grass or possibly trees in a fortnight.. there is a good market for goats meat milk and wool and they are pretty much indestructible. if you go meat make sure to spend a few dollars on good boar goat genetics.

how many days? It's going to be massive
-
I've got a few of these going got some freaks out of the (sso1 xsso2) f2 and a few variegated. I'll try and get some pics up soon.

Looking good WB
Ceres I add molasses to the water when I foliar spray or when I water, about 100ml to a 20 litre bucket or a tbls spoon to 3 or 4 litres of foliar spray. Is good stuff.

That is looking awesome, vine looks healthy, is that shape from what they call "Dill Ring"? I think really heavy ones sometimes get it. That's going to go heavier then mine you got about another 20 days of growing in that maybe more due to the cool climate factor. How much water you hitting it with? I was feeding mine 100 litres a day at its peak.
-
that is going to get very large very quickly.
-
they are really long, watch the short stem on that one make sure to allow the vine to lift as the pumpkin gets big, they can snap themselves from the vine sometimes.
