I have a 10 day and 8 day pumpkin which are both growing very fast on my one and only plant. I am having a hard time deciding to remove one or not cause I have to have something to show in October or my wife will leave me.

In your alls experience, what were some past weights you grew with multiple pumpkins on 1 plant? If I hit 400lbs, I'd be a very happy camper for my rookie year. Thanks

I cut the smallest fruit when the size of a football has passed.

I lost the main on the 1018 vanHook last year and grew two pumpkins on side vines 500 on one and 550 on other.

Thanks guys. I think I am going to keep 2 since I am a first timer making plenty of mistakes so this way I will at least have one. From the above and looking at past diaries I should be okay getting to the 400 lb range.
