Was going to say that blue looks unnatural for fresh water. Reminds me of some of the mountain lakes in NZ, they have amazing turquoise colours. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterboy 2.0 Posted October 7, 2019 The last effort went astray I reckon this will be my last giant pumpkin grow... Better go hard the bed is absolutely beautiful, and honestly to good for an ornamental. Fingers crossed for another nice orange one. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterboy 2.0 Posted October 26, 2019 Okay cause I know someone will get a chuckle out of my madness , the time felt right and I've hit the ground as of yesterday. Still a chance of frost, but got the contingency. Although if my eye sees some potential with the spare I'll rougue out the planted one. It's got a week to impress me against the potted one.... I've been culling plants left, right and centre... Lol.. It knows 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waterboy 2.0 Posted January 9, 2020 Getting close to boom time, got good vine structure(s) , heats caused a few flower aborts. Might have to run mist over them midday until set. Lost a fair bit of botanical stuff as the suns killing it, including me. Running at low give a Fuck currently, hit the bottom get back up Keeping dedication on this though, settled on 2 vines, split where the blue hose runs in. Both vines performing OK, on fruit set may cull one. Tomato plants are in until I get some seed. Had a few days of hardcore smoke close in on us from offshore.... Thoughts out to any of you walking on black and ash. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waterboy 2.0 Posted February 4, 2020 First stage of daily gains. Next stage will be bigger gains. Will start covering it from the sun in an effort to reduce skin hardening. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waterboy 2.0 Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) @Dozer In my case it's until frost takes the vine Plenty of growing time to goit'll ripen for sure. Weathers all over the place... Maybe into late april, could punch into may Once growth ramps up it still amazes me Edited February 4, 2020 by waterboy 2.0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterboy 2.0 Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) Hmmm...think I might lose it. Has rained heavily here and humidity high. Growth has been very unequal and slowed, and it formed hollows that waters has sat in. There's a good chance it'll crack. It's not soft yet, but I'm not optimistic it won't rot. If I get it through it'll be a fuggly one even fugglier than this one Edited February 11, 2020 by waterboy 2.0 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SayN Posted February 11, 2020 That's a beauty! What type are they? Albino butternut? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterboy 2.0 Posted March 24, 2020 @SayN They be Atlantic Giant stock, but theres a heap of variety within it. Some have that butternut look and others a rich orange. Some nice and round and some end up like an old bean bag... Lol Lost the initial one, got a secondary growing... Cooling off but. About the same size as the failed one. Will see how big I can get it.
