Jim Bryson mentioned in a recent post that "growing Biologically" helped him to break the 2K barrier. Anyone else have thoughts on this? Anyone besides Mehdi growing 100% organic?

I'd like to hear the Champs' views on terminating the main at the fruit, and if the decision has been made then at what stage of growth is best to do it?

If you could go back to the first year that you decided to grow a giant what would be a few tips you would give yourself in order to hit 2000 pounds?

What giant pumpkin weigh offs come to mind that stand out? Such as a great set up and they "got it going on" as far as excitement and experience? Some day we (The Dill Family) would like to visit some of these and meet everyone.

Do you figure your (excellent!) results are good enough? Or are you unsatisfied? If unsatisfied, what issue is between you & your ultimate goal.

Or should I say, how do you think you might to get to 2800?

Andy said last night his goal is to pollinate with 10 sides on each side. So you wake up on pollination morning proud of your beautiful green plant (June 20ish) with 20 side vines and you see a very ugly (fugly) blossom staring at you. What are your thoughts? How do you move forward?
