OK time to come clean, I will have no fruit to weigh from the 1010 Daletas, I've been lying through my teeth, lol
Honestly and truly, I was on pace for something special, but on day 35, July 30th, Circ measure of 146 inches, it stopped growing, dead in its tracks, and within 2 days after that, it went to mush. I had to keep the Biz going, so the pictures I posted of it were actually my own 511, sitting at 850 lbs, I won't be breaking the 1000 pounds this year on anything, but should break 900, if everything stays intact. I will have no fruit to go to the Terminator with, I did want to go real bad, but without a fruit, it's really a tough sell to go.
So Biz, you win, This is not a mind tease. I will go you double or nothing next year, on whatever seed you choose. I have a couple of Bill R's seeds if you want to use them. Your call.

So in closing, I came in second, so I was the first and only looser. LOL

Ron, Yes that will be how it is, I really didn't want to give up the truth so I just kept quite, Had to get Biz to the Scale, so at least one of us had a fruit, I know for a fact I will plant the 1010 again, I was pushing it far too hard, but really I wanted 1200 plus and was on track, but such is life with Pumpkins.

I believe him, but if he is sandbagging and shows up with a pumpkin over 1019, it would be great!

David, I won't be going to Niagara because of a prior commitment. So Biz offered up a double or Nothing next year, Unless you would like to take my place, then it's all good.
Pumpkin Pastor, This truly isn't a sandbagging, it is the truth.
And yes Dave, It's Orange

I think we are all the winners if we don't have to watch Eddy up on stage in a leotard. Great job this year guys. It has been really fun watching you on the boards. Looking forward to next year!
