Hi there, I'm trying to grow a 1500 pound pumpkin come October. Does anyone know what est. weights I should have on a weekly basis to get to 1500 pounds?

Example:
840 pounds on August 6
1010 pounds on August 14
....
1502 pounds on October 2

thanks

That's about as good as it gets right there. These pumpkins are amazing, if you are seeing any decent growth after dap 60 you still have a shot at 1500 pounds depending on how many days you have left to grow.

Sometimes they shut down and sometimes they grow really fast till day 60 and sometimes they don't grow really fast but they just keep putting on the pounds consistently. There isn't one perfect chart that shows you this.

Best thing you can do is try to keep your plant as healthy as possible for as long as possible.

In the "How to grow world class giant pumpkins the all-organic way" There is a chart showing what you need to get 1500 lbs.
day 41 851 lbs
day 48 1061
day 54 1109
day 61 1304
day 75 1444
day 89 1486
day 96 1500

I did not need to see those charts!!! Reality is a hard pill to swallow! Maybe next year.
