It taped out in the 1500's so it was way heavy. It was crossed with a 2323, so I hope it goes big and heavy. Just so it doesn't get the splitting problem. I plan on growing one next year.

Yeah I was on the crew that weighed that pumpkin. It tapped like 1535# or close to it but when you thumped it well its like hitting Bruce Lee's abbs solid as a rock!

Everybody is forgetting about Dan Carlson/Marc Peterson who grew a 1625 X 2009 that taped 370 inches for 1105 but weighed in at 1,392.5 for 26 percent heavy and almost 300 pounds over! Plus the 2009 pollinator when it went down on day 43 was taping 1,000.
