This is my 929.5 Wagler 2012 (official weight, weigh-off in Görlitz on Sept. 30th), the cross is 1723 Marshall x 1176 Lombardi. Thank you Dale for the seed. According to the weigh-off organizers the pumpkin was 11-ish % heavy (I need to point out that this probably refers to the old chart, at least my own OTT-measurements indicated similar % heavy with respect to the old chart). As soon as I noticed its weight (929.5 lbs) I found it a pity that I haven´t let the pumpkin grow for another half day, because then it could have reached the 931 lbs...the weight of Dale Marshalls pumpkin off his 1723 seed (what a funny coincidence this would have been). Thanks to the 1723 Marshall plant I achieved a new PB this year (well, the 929.5 isn´t much heavier than my 907 from last year, but it was grown in 92 days, whereas my 907 was 107 days old, and this year weather conditions were worse than last year).
