The 1225 Jutras progeny is averaging 10% heavy. They're not as bright as the 1225 itself, but more progeny under it's belt in the future will be a better determinator.

801.5 Stelts 97 produced a 472lbs pumpkin for me this year that was est. at 419lbs so it was 12.5% over the chart. It was a brilliant, shiny orange color with a very glossy skin.
I crossed it with the 1016 Daletas 01.

Forgot to mention that I also had a very orange one off the 845 Bobier that went 18% heavy and one on the 783 Daletas that went 15.5% heavy.
The 582 Hester was also nice orange but not much over the chart.
However, these 3 were not as glossy as the 801.5 Stelts pumpkins but also nice orange.

I also tried your 627. It produced my 729.5 that was estimated at (around) 699. It was light orange and quite semetrical.

Bart's 707 usually does throw orange though I've grown cream on it. There aren't many 707s left now. So hit Deb & Randy up now.

How has this thread gone this far without the 842 Eaton? Most of those are ornage & heavy OTT (except the 1446 LOL).

Anyone have any info on Jack's 1205 off the 1180 Daletas? I've seen pictures and it was definitely a beautiful pumpkin....but how much OTC was it?

Any info is greatly appreciated!
