How big are your plants versus weights ? GO Nobody I grow in about a 1000 square feet per plant . I know there's a lot of variables just curious.

The only personal data I have is that I had 800lb(measured) on a plant that was barely 500 square feet.

Putting the exact details aside, I seem to plateau at around 3.5 lbs per square foot. One year I might have gotten near 5 lbs per square foot on a very small plant with good genetics and balanced nutrients over a long growing season. Some of the top 150 square foot winners are getting even higher production than that, per square foot.

Try watching at 12:00... This seems like it would be key to getting more pumpkin from less square feet.
