Stillman Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 That's going to grow big pumpkins its starting to get the monster look. You got the space so let it go wild. I gave my boss those squash seeds you gave me, he has a 200kg plus monster on, I reckon it will go 350 plus ...If he doesn't split it from overwatering (pumping water straight from a creek 200 litres a day) I'll get some seeds back and send you some WB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterboy 2.0 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) yeah they are getting the look, and starting to be a serious job keeping the vines pinned down.Got access to a lot of water to pour on as it gets cranking.Sweet as Stillman, didn't think I could dedicate time to squash as well as pumpkins, and everything else...lol. Stoked that someone else is getting some joy out of them. They would make a striking pair side by side I reckon <___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_newimprovedwinkonclear.gifI started holidays today....so I am going to dedicate some quality munted time tending to the pumpkins now.EDIT - still have some other pumpkin genetics to send your way Stillman, just hadn't got to them....I am sure you will have a slight addiction now...lol Edited December 19, 2013 by waterboy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtarman Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 A 20kg pumpkin is nothing to sneeze at. That's how much a bag of cement mix weighs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bogfrog Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Wow nice work Stillman! ..and Nothink too! Hehe Rambo does look like a zombie sheep WB, I am actually quite surprised he is still kicking around. I thought chu would be serving him up for Christmas roast at the very latest. There must be a heart of gold in that WB creature.It won't stop raining! I haven't watered my pumpkin in ages, I haven't needed to, but it's a bit irritating, cause I can't add liquid fert to the skywater.Little bit of rot creeping in and taking the oldest leaves one at a time. The rest of it looks healthy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillman Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) On a pallet ready to go on displayestimated at 270kg but I reckon it will go light as the vine died off early say around 230 to 250kg.

Stillman Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 No rot either is in perfect nick, had the vine gone a bit harder this could have been a really big pumpkin. Will have heaps of seed for everyone next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilligan Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I've still got nothing, other than a female which has just shown herself on the end of the vine... Unreal. Hoping to Jeebus that this one sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 3 weeks by my guess to set one on the second vine, got a beautiful one on it but its right over the outlet pipe from the septic ...and lol if it gets some size I don't want it moving or cracking the pipe.https://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=http://i1248.photobucket.com/albums/hh492/waterboytas/DSCF9340_zps0ac6ad3c.jpg&key=7a14f9d5775531c37923a631cd455e24c9c832ee35dcbd163225cc6dca1cb056 Edited January 4, 2014 by waterboy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillman Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I'm turning the pumpkin into soup and scones at work for OZHarvest Brisbane. Its on display at my work at the moment, we are running a comp to guess how many seeds to raise money for our local PCYC community gardens. So going to good use which makes me happy about putting so much effort into the big useless orange thing lol. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
