Sure. If you an avoid a frost in the patch it should grow another 30 days. The pounds per day will drop with each passing day but I think 200lb is yours! Great Job.

Jess, you are well on your way. With a late set and still going 8 lb per day, if your plant is healthy and September stays nice like it is now...you should get past that 200 lbs pretty easy.

Let us know how it works out and good luck!!

I hope mother nature keeps the pumpkins happy. You should beat the 200lb mark. The go for more next season.

I lost a pumpkin on my Jutras1385 a few weeks ago, so I let a second pumpkin grow at 30 feet out. It's an open pollination and I'm not sure of the date of pollination, but it's now growing better than the original pumpkin that I lost, at 20-25 pounds a day. It's now over 200 pounds and I'm hoping to push it to 400 pounds.
Sometimes these things grow despite the weather. You've got plenty of time to reach 200 pounds.
