Just want to know what you think about this 750 Wentzell pumpkin I have growing(940 Wentzell x 810 Dill), Its the Longest stem I have ever seen,Did the 810 Dill have long stems like this? How do you think this one will turn out? I grew the 940 Wentzell last year and it had a medium to small stem and started out yellow then turned out to be a very orange pumpkin. Just wondering what you Genetics guys Might think.

Here is two pictures of the 750 Wentzell pumpkin I have growing at 2 days old now,Its freakish looking no doubt.

Brooks, vine stress will be easy to control. I like long stems they allow for lots of movement.
