I remember the 1200 and 1400 benchmark charts but I'm curious with the larger pumpkins if this has ever been updated.

Hey There Huff- I'd be happy to update the benchmark chart. Couple things, to what benchmark should it be updated? 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 2000lbs?

Secondly, the challenge in doing so is collecting a good number of OTT/Circ measurements by 10-day increments from growers who produced pumpkins around the target benchmark size. we'd have to rally the troops here to dig up their notes and be willing to contribute the data.

I have previously created a form on the SCGA website that any grower can use to submit their pumpkins measurement data. Easy-peasy, just requires the time to populate the form.

If we are to create a new benchmark chart at any weight above 1400lbs, we'll need the help of this community to complete the form so the numbers can be used to construct statistical significance.

All my 2000 pound fruit were right at the 1200 pound bench mark or below it's what happens after day 40 that puts them over 2000, basically if the benchmark gets updated I believe it'll look exactly the same up until day 40-45
