Is it possible to move a already growing (10'X 10') AG to a new location approximately three miles away? Any tricks if it is at all doable? It also has a three small (orange size) pumpkins on the main.(Would they abort?)

I would not recomend moving a plant that size. It may be doable but i wouldn't try it.

Spend the effort in improving the soil in the new spot for next year. The roots will be 15' x 15'. No way to move it and not destroy it.

I moved an AG/Big Max cross that had 3 foot vines after it had been in the ground for about 3 weeks. It nearly killed the plant, but has now recovered. I couldn't imaging trying to transplant a larger plant.

One possability is to cut plant back to only a few feet then try it , i dought plant would recover if it had to save itself with that much plant , one advantage is you would have strong stump , then try to establish a back main as a new main!

my 1124 hester plant went dobble & was close to 8 ft , I cut 5 ft off & went with a secondary (back main) close to stump , then cut all secondarys closer to stump off ,, well now the trained secondary lookes like reg main only its the bigest main iv ever seen only problem is it started to have problems again after 10.5 ft mark ! good thing is i have pumpkin at 10 ft AND its doing great as far as size, if it keeps going itll be giant , its acculy ahead of 1068 pumpkin- and that plant is doing great !
