I have been wondering for a wile about this and if it is a real record and who the grower was? This is about the only link I could find

.http://www.pumpkinnook.com/giants/record.htm#alot

I was just hoping some one could shine some light on this and if it is real why you never hear about anyone trying the beat this record.

the heading says 2715 pounds of pummkin on one plant... not 'a 2715 pound pumpkin"..(just my interpetation of the wording)

I think the easiest way to beat that would be to grow fourteen 200 pound pumkins on one huge plant vs three 900 pounders.

I am thinking a good strategy would be grow everything on the first four secondaries and then cut the main. basically you would have those 4 secondary vines each becoming seperate mains. Then you could prune the Tertiaries in a flag pattern so that they dont overlap. Effectively you would divide the plant into quandrats which would be pretty much independant of one another as far as competing for nutrients.

it just got me thinking cause my main vine on one of my plants broke twice and now i had alot of stong secondaries so i set 4 pumpkin on the strongest 4 vines. so far one aborted but the other 3 are still growing pretty good then i remebered seein an article a wile ago about some guy that had 4 pumpkins set on one plant that grew 500-700lbs each but now all i can find is dead ends try to research it. just didnt know if anyone else knew anything about it
