Since I'll be growing LG's in 2010, I need to start learning how to grow these's things.

Well...Here's the question.
I know there's been alot of LG growers who have grown more then 1 LG per plant and still end up with one over 110+ inches.
Though if you leave 1 gourd per plant and trim off the others, will that 1 gourd grow much larger then if You've got multiple gourds?

Three is about the max you want, but it does depend a bit on plant size. If you have a bigger plant, it will support more gourds

JA, long gourds don't adhere to the same playbook as pumpkins. Lots of water and DON'T over fertilize. I agree with John, 3-4 per plant depending on size.
