This girl is absolutely kicking butt and taking names. Just a beautiful ORANGE specimen still a few days away from 30dap and she is growing like she has 1,000 Sqft of plant behind her......   Thursday, July 4 View Page Since I am updating the status of my 150 plant I might as well give you a sneak peak of this beautiful specimen. Just a beast of a plant at about 1,000 sqft right now. The fruit had its 30 day birthday today July 4 and is sitting at about 500 lbs.......   Thursday, July 4 View Page How about this Girl.... I named her the "Ghost-Kin" she is sitting at d38 and just packing on the pounds. She ain't on no diet either!!! I am feeding her every sweat treat I can get my hands on......   Monday, July 22 View Page 150 Fruit :)-]-{ This Beauty is set & growing on my 150 plant, on July 22nd. She is sitting at about 800 lbs! It is pretty darn amazing that these plants are powerful enough to produce such a large fruit in such a small area, in such a short period if time.   Thursday, August 15 View Page Tomato Contest Entry: 3lbs 8.95 oz.   Thursday, August 15 View Page Going back a couple years when I grew my 2,405 pounder someone asked me "Well, you gonna grow a bigger one next year?" I remember telling him I have no doubt that I can grow a bigger pumpkin, but for it to be this big, deep orange, great shape and just overall an absolutely beautiful specimen. The odds of that happening would be like lighting striking twice in the same place..... Well here I am on August 15th a couple years later and I have an absolutely beautiful specimen sitting at about 2k right now. She is an absolute Bute! If this girl can hang on for the long run I just might be sipping fine wine in California with Travis at the end September......   Thursday, August 15 View Page Another View of Her   Thursday, August 15 View Page 150 plant - Fruit Entry: Holy Moly.... This Girl just keeps getting bigger and prettier every day! She is taping over 1,200 pounds right now with tons of season left to grow... I will be honest, I did not really expect this much out of this tiny plant but this girl just keeps gaining. No signs of her slowing at all so this could get really interesting in the next few weeks! As for Ghost-Kin she is still gobbling up all those carbohydrates that plant will give her. Her weight gains are down but don't tell her that. She got a butt on her as big as a bulldozer. She just might be lurking in the patch waiting for the right moment to pounce......   Friday, August 16 View Page 150 Plant - Fruit   Thursday, September 12 View Page Tomato Contest Entry: 3 lbs 8.30oz   Friday, September 27 View Page I am reposting this tomato. This is my second tomato I am entering into the tomato contest. The last time I posted it did not get added. 3lbs 8.30oz grown off the 9.06 Brown.   Tuesday, October 8 View Page 150 Fruit Entry: 150 patch all cleared out. She is ready to be lifted & loaded and taken to the Dance.   Tuesday, October 8 View Page 150 Fruit Entry: As you can see the 150 is a very pretty specimen. Great, color and shape and just a really nice fruit for taking photos with. Grown off my 2405 and sibbed to my Big Girl 2405.   Tuesday, October 8 View Page 150 Fruit Entry: On the scale she came in a few pounds lighter then most would like, but I tell you what I will trade a few pounds for that beautiful shape and color!! Had a lot of fun my first year growing out the 150 plant. Heck I might just quite growing big plants..... too much work! 150 plants seems like the way to go. Final Scale Weight: 1,167 lbs 2405 Guns X Sib   Tuesday, October 8 View Page Well unfortunately my Big Girl 2405 met an early demise..... She had been growing at a very good rate for her age and the skin on her just didn't have the pliability it had when she was a younger fruit. She went from shiny smooth skin to having deep cracks on top of almost every rib line that continued to open up further every day. I was able to keep them dry and clean and she continued to grow at a vert nice rate. Then one day I was caught off guard by some bad storms that rolled through (she was not covered) and that water worked it's way deep into those cracks and this was the start of a never a never ending battle.... I weighed her in the Patch towards the beginning of September and she maxed out my 1000kg crane scale with ease!! 1000kg is 2,204 lbs. She had to of been A couple hundred more then that to max that scale out when she still had most of her bottom on the ground. Lessons learned..... Beautiful Big Orange Fruit!
