Was at my local greenhouse/hydro store and the guy gave me three free samples of Fox Farms ferts to try on my giant kins and maters.
Open Sesame 5-45-19 for earlier in the flowering stage
Beastie Bloomz 0-50-30 for mid flowering stage
Cha Ching 9-50-10 for later in the flowering stage

Wondering if anyone had any good luck with any of these?

I haven't used those ferts, but I know Fox Farms makes excellent stuff. I've used their happy frog products with good results.

The middle number which is phosphorous seems awfully high. Remember phosphorous doesn't leach out of your soil very fast. Before I would add anything on the extreme end I would get a soil test to determine if you really need it. Remember if you mess up your soil by adding in the kitchen sink it could stay bad for a decade or more. Soil test, monitor your plants growth and make sure it stays green and looks happy. This will reward you with a nice big pumpkin.

I really like their product line--I use Tiger Bloom on my tomatoes and pumpkin for increased blooms. Prices are fairly reasonable too!

I used a bag of the Ocean Forest Potting mix in the hole prior to transplanting.
