So the mystery of how my pumpkin went 54% heavy has been solved. Retrieved seeds today, what a battle. The cavity was very small, the walls very thick.
This was estimated at 599 lbs and weighed 858.9 lbs.
The seed was a 2131 Wuersching. I did not have any males the day prior to when I knew it would open,so Road Trip! Matthias Wuersching was also growing his 2131 and had males available. 150 miles and a few hours later I had the males at home. The next day did the pollination. So it is a 2131 x Sib. Thanks Matthias. His 2131 plant produced the 2124.2 Wuersching 24 that went 13% heavy.
Obviously the genetics are in my seed, but I won't be growing it next year.:(
If anyone is interested, even as a backup plant shoot me an email at giantsquash@gmail.com. I do not want SASBPs or money, just a email with your intentions and I will send you seeds at no cost. For the very newest of growers this is a prime chance of getting into the hobby at low cost and getting very good genetics.
