778 Fruit: 31 day mark, CC: 96, 67 62 =225 OTT or 249 pounds. 10 day average 13.8 pounds a day. I had some Serious stem stress issues with this guy, I was not able to make it up to the patch for about 3 days, when i checked on it the shoulders of the pumpkin had grown into the vine quite a bit, it was too much to move the pumpkin and risk poping the pumpkin off, so i cut that end of the vine off (Luckly it was the vine tip end and not the stump end causing the pressure). I assume this pressure caused cracks several small cracks at the base of the stem where it meets up with the pumpkin. Picture in next post. 3 day average daily growth since the vine tip side was removed 12.7 lbs a day.
