Does a six lobe kin have a better chance of growing larger than say a 5 or 4 lobe?

I think that is yet to be determined, records are all 4-5, but how many 6 lobers have been grown. If 5 is favored over 4, and 4 favored over 3, then why not 6?

That's my thinking. We will see later.

I personally like 3 lobe flowers as their success record is very good, but keep in-mind the sample size is small...

In short the lobe number has no correlation to pumpkin final weight. Most flowers are 4 or 5 lobes, so we have the most data point for these numbers.
