Plant is growing well! First baby pumpkin showing. We will most likely let it bloom then take it off. Need to get the plant a little bigger. Aiming for 15+ secondaries behind the fruit.

Dap 25 today. 201.5 OTT. Pumpkin is putting on 20-23lbs a days for the past 3 days. Seems like the weight per day is going up. Hopefully this is not the peak!
