Currious what the distance on the main the top five pumpkins were set at? I have females on both my plants at 11.5 feet out so currious if any were around that distance ;)

world records have been grown from 8ft on out. mostly its time of pollination rather than distance down the main that increases your chances. we prefer ten ft min but usually add up with 12 plus. all depends on meeting certain time limits as well.
pollinating to late and there is no chance of a wr.
