I had a few people asking about my 2560 so here are my thoughts. The plant was around 1400 sq feet and she stopped growing at an estimated 1689 pounds around the end of august only to puke out a mess at end of September. The leaves were smaller on the 2560 and definitely didn’t throw out tertiary’s everywhere like the 2465. Overall it was a good plant that I cut off a pumpkin that was growing very good on day sixteen because it fell parallel to the vine. The pumpkin I kept was only 55 pounds on day 20 and never seemed to take off. I should have just deadheaded the main and kept the first pumpkin but I guess we live and learn.
