What proven seed has come from the smallest pumpkin to produce the most amount of proportionally LARGER pumpkins.

21 Beachy produced a monster like 3600% over its parent seed. Not to bad

Hmmm...missed this thread at first. The 21 is a good seed, I wish I had taken care of it early in the season, and stuck it in a good spot in the patch. Still growing 5-6 lbs a day when harvested.

I initially planted it to prove a point, which I think was accomplished. But none the less failed to meet my goal. It ended up the 4th largest(892) official fruit out of 17 competition plants. 1st was 501(1029.4), 2nd was 845(1011) Bobier, and 3rd was 501(963) for comparison.

300 Mongeon is another seed to throw out there.
