Hello all! robograeff and the hydroponic pumpkin here again. A few more questions as the season comes to a close. I believe my pumpkin has come to a finishing point and is no longer growing. I'm upwards of 620 pounds and very happy. The plant is still very alive in new growth but a lot of the plant has browned from various afflictions. Should I be concerned about the pumpkin not making it to the end of September for a competition?

Also, is there anyone who has a pumpkin harness that they would be willing to let me borrow or buy from them so I don't need to buy a new one? Just paid for another year of school so finances are tough.

Any help and thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I just answered this question in another post. I just used 4 cheap tow straps w/ the hooks cut off, and a rope

Hi, are you heading to the monster pumpkin madness gpc weighoff in PA on sept 27? If so I have a lifting harness that I don't use anymore, I can mail it to you and you can return it to me there if you want. It is the kind without a steel ring so it is not expensive to ship- I have done it before. Email me if you are interested. Eastparkrider at yahoo dot com. Jim
