Got similar here Steve, the 2471 Noel only has 500sq. But kin at 20' with 24 swept vines. Wife named it Hope because were hoping for @ 2000lbs? Best of luck, see ya this fall!

Love it Steve! I am 100% convinced this is possible. I grew a 1708 on a plant this size and it went to chart. Very tall fruit. All you need is the right shape and those extra days of growth and you are there!

Thanks Maurice: I double checked the Pumpkihn set length my tape measure. The Pumpkin is actualy set at 21.5 ft out not 20. And I was off by 1 side vine. There are 40 side vines not 41. This plant is growing very slow with the average distance between leaf nodes being 5 -7 inches. In some places the leaves are very close together on the side vines and getting too tall as they fight for access to light. I put the "S" curve in today.

Hi Larry: Hope you are having a good year in the Patch. OMG Larry during our Winter calls....You were so right about the 2181 Masters seed being hot. Lots of growers are giving it a try. That 2741 Stelts x 2222 Gienger was an awesome cross. Next year when I get back to growing the Giants in the BIG patches I'll have to give it a try...maybe I"ll cross it with the 2507 Noel.
