I first started tapeing my kin at 3 weeks. I tape it once a week. 3-4 weeks did 140 pounds, 4-5 weeks did 120 pounds. 5-6 weeks did 110 pounds. Pumpkin sitting at 520 pounds. Would i expect this gain to gradually decrease every week like it has been or could it still increase again? I was hoping for my first 1000 pounder this year but I think that dream is maybe for another year!!

Some say that day 40-42 is half weight day, what your weight is on day 42 double it and hope for the best.

Well on day 42 I was at 123 pounds and I am now at 259 pounds on day 57 and picked up 10 pounds today so its still growing pretty well. We had a really bad spring weatherwise though. I noticed a pretty steep drop off in growth after day 50.

For comparison mine on day 42 mine stood at 149 pounds and now on day 47 is 193 lbs but growth has been extremely inconsistent from day to day up and down and has dropped to 6lbs a day for the last 2 days. Hope this isnt a slow down already as the weather has been consistently bad so Im not sure its that.
