Was the 1159 Richards heavy or light or to Chart?

One of the best looking ever grown, just wanted to know the details.

Heavy?Light? Thick walls, internal dill rings? Sound interior? Dark tan seeds? White seeds?

I think it is a 919 x 998.6 too.

So grow one that tapes 1800# and who cares if it goes light. :) I wish I had one.

On the + side, it was already crossed with a Record Maker.

Maybe the Gen2 will be thicker.

Joe's fruit go light most of the time, please keep this in mind! It's going in my patch (1400+ as pollinator!)

prettiest atlantic giant pumpkin i have ever seen in person. the 998 pollinator was 1400+ like kelly said and i think it's the perfect cross of beauty and the beast.

At 1159 pounds, lest be honest, it was still a beast itself.

It was still thick enough to be sturdy.

Maybe not 12-10" thick, but I would guess still around 6-8", based off of the over-all weight and nice shape.
