How big does a single pumpkin have to be to make heavy hitter!

1700 pounds to make heavy hitter and get the GPC jacket?

No GPC coat for 1700 pounds...

So what do you need for a GPC coat? Any one know?

My post had nothing to do with the gpc. 1700 is what you would have to grow in order for me to consider you a heavy hitter.

Just grow 1500 to 1700 pound kins for a few years in a row and I'll call you a heavy hitter;)

I believe it's 2100 lbs for one, and still at 4000 lbs for total weight on three.

I think GPC coats should have Tyson imprinted on the back

So if we are speaking in GPC terms and not individual terms, there is only one grower in the entire world that is a heavy hitter when it comes to single pumpkin weight? Not that I care a whole lot but that just seems odd.

Okay so here what I mean :) being 21 years of age and growing the last 8 I have always dreamed of getting a GOC coat!!! Since this is probably going to be my last year growing as to having an internship for my college degree...

A life long internship? Man, mine were just 3 months.

Grow the best you can and in Fall I'll start a thread on here declaring you a Heavy Hitter.
Jk - best of luck!

Haha well Luke mine will be all summer but than I'll be done with college and job searching so I don't think I'll be able to grow for awhile!
