How many days past pollination do you cut your pumpkin typically?

As many as possible LOL.

Is this pumpkin going to a contest?

Yes, and I am wondering how many days past pollination in the norm. Thanks for the help.

the old standard was 80 days,,,this really doesn't hold true anymore

some of the better growing fruit are over 90 days old (and still growing), some of the "left" coasters have numerous fruit listed that are over 100

Creekside I believe that with the right weather and proper care throughout the season you may get it to as much as 110 to 120 days past pollination.good luck keep her growing !!

In Santa Cruz you have to tell us what the temps are. In hot weather your AG could be done in 50 days.
