My 1349 is blowing me away for this late in the season. Average is 16.5 pounds a day. The pumpkin is young though at 47 days old. Average weight of 500 pounds today! Also, Sunday was the first time I measured this thing. Willing to bet it was doing 25+ pounds a day at its peak. The 2020 Paton was doing 19-20 a day at its peak but it is important to note that the 1349 has several more hours of sun than the 2020. The sun may be a huge factor with gains. I also will need to feed more often next year. Those foam pieces against the pumpkin are for that secondary vine. There is no slack at that point and probably could've done a better job when it was smaller with positioning it. May need to cut that vine off as it is very tight against the pumpkin
