Yeah I thought mine was a going to abort I got a foaming stomp but it didn't abort it's about 700 pounds nice round teardrop shaped pumpkin and my other one is about 500 pounds and it's kind of a yellow hunched back I think the 1395 was a mail pollinator on that one

Very small plant for me, very short leaves and the plant stopped growing as soon as the pumpkin set. It's growing back to back with the 2102 Meier which is the biggest, tallest plant in the patch ... weird. The pumpkin is a beautiful, perfectly shaped, smooth, orange that's pretty on some decent daily gains. I crossed it with the 2102 Meier which also doing very well so it might make a pretty good cross.

I started 2 seeds...the chosen plant grew great however at 17-20 feet it started showing disease after a couple days i pulled it and restarted a 1460 Gehweiler that was on June 3rd. It's mom is the 1317 clementz it has a nice pumpkin on it right now but it is fairly white not orange like the 1947.

I started 2. Took 8 days to come up. Good plant. Just got a female last week. To much nitrogen I think. Have 4, 1317 will grow next year with a change in nutes.
