What is the 220.3 Debacco? A cutting from the 2009, pollinated by a 1775Harp cutting? Could someone please explain the mail and female of the 220?

A seed from the 2009 Wallace pumpkin (which was the 1725x1409 cross) grown and a female of this plant was pollinated with a male of the 1725 which had produced the 2009 (which is the "clone" component in the cross, because a part of that plant which grew the 2009 had been kept alive for many more months to produce the males needed for that cross)

As not to add to any confusion both "Pumpking" and "cojoe" are both correct.

The goal was to purify the 2000+pound genetics and while the sample size is small early indications are positive.
