It got too hot today , made a mark on the pumpkin where the shade was touching it instead of shading it. I also watered it . Low to mid 90’s all week
Go pumpkin pie!
That kid is cute enough to be one of mine!!!
Charlie put on some nice numbers today. I watered him last night and I show an estimated weight of 468 tonight. I gave it two cups of wood ash, one at the base and one down the main vine. I gave it a table spoon of epsom salt in a gallon of warm water on the leaves. It got two table spoons of miracle grow liquid rose fertilizer mixed with two gallons of warm water , one at the base and one spread over the entire vine. All was watered in with a generous amount of water. If I can keep it growing for a few more days it should pass the 500 pound mark and anything after that is beyond my expectations.
This is a great thread. Thanks for taking the time to include us all
What are the marks on top of Charlie? Will they hurt its growth? One gorgeous pumpkin!
Turning very white now
It’s huge! You need to submit some pics to the local news outlets, I’m sure they’d put something like that on the air.
It got too hot one day I think , the shade was touching it instead of cooling it. They could , time will tell
It is pretty white, should get a pink color if it ripens correctly
I bet they would for sure in October.
Well here is Charlie, 504 estimated weight ! I’ve really wanted to grow a five houndred pounder, we have had so much fun showing it off, people are really shocked when they see it.
Amazing…in about 6 weeks!!! It’s has been such a treat to watch this…thanks a bunch for the thread! So how big do you think Charlie will get?
You’re a quarter of the way there
To world record? I see a weight of 2625 lbs in Europe.
Ha ha Bob, yes indeed and it is still growing, I guess you never know
Yes , you could put a stack of pumpkins the size of mine inside that thing . Those growers do some amazing work to grow them that big
And he’s still just a kid!
