I have a pumpkin growing 1" in Circum. a day, I was curious to the weight it is putting on if you just go by Circum.? Any input is welcome

I don't think there is an updated circumference chart because it isn't very accurate. I measure OTT every five days but measure my circumference daily just to see how its growing.

Here is the 2005 Circumference chart. It really isn't anywhere close to the weights I get with the 2013 OTT chart but I use it just to get a rough idea of how many pounds it has put on in a day.

I'm just curious what an inch in circum. equals out to on average?

Its not a linear thing, It depends on how big the pumpkin is. If your going from 50 to 51 its only a couple of pounds. If you are going from 150 to 151 its around 15 pounds.
