Do someone grow the 1423,5 Wallace 07 ( 1068Wallace x 1041McKie) ? What do you think about this seed ?

I grew it this season, with a difficult weather season, I grew an 802.5 with it, third season grower. Very agressive plant, and nice heavy pumpkin. I crossed it with 1149Pukos07. Hoping that it would grow more orange this year. Will be interesting to see how the 802 does this year. Check out my 2008 Diary, you'll see photo's from the season. I wouldn't mind growing another 1423 this year.

I grew it last season,never made a weighoff although solid as a rock taped mid 6.s weighed well over 700,when cut open in late oct was a very consistent 10" thick all the weigh around except the shoulders where it was much thicker,tall,long and orange.did the 1385x1423 cross.i'd grow it again.John

My daughter grew a 970 est on it, it started out very well on a 1200 pace but found a way to dill ring crack although there wasn't hardly any indentation of a dill ring. Kinda a football shape. Very dense woody flesh, should of weighed it to see % heavy. My guess is it can grow big ones heavy to charts.
Crossed with 1470 Wallace that finished over 1100 pounds.

We had one that was 1200 est last week of August that split after a 5- inch rain fall.Was doing 15 a day when split. Was very thick when we cut it open.
