I am absolutely positive now that this is the type of pumpkin the fairy godmother used for Cinderella’s carriage. Incredible video you could literally see it growing every day. Thank you so much.

@@cm9666 Not genetically modified. It is hybridized (selectively bred/ not wild). Part of growing large vegetables is genetics and part of it is pruning. In the case of pumpkins or melons, only allow a single fruit to develop while allowing the vine to grow as big as possible. In the case of things like tomatoes, digging deep post holes and backfilling them with compost allows for a more robust plant. The roots on tomatoes can grow 20ft. deep if uninhibited. So, to answer your question, people have been growing massive record breakers like this for a thousand years if not much much longer than that.

The leaves dry out during the daytime heat and sunlight, and during nighttime the plant can restore water to the leaves, causing them to rise again. On cloudy/cool days the leaves do not droop nearly as much as they would on a very hot and sunny day, and so the difference during day and night is less noticeable.

You could try prevent it my improving airflow in and around the plant by pruning for example. Maybe you can also get your hands on pumpkin varieties that are resistant to powdery mildew.

Wow! I've seen a few videos like this now and I have a couple questions. Does the size affect the flavor of the pumpkin at all? What happens to all the pumpkins after the competition (I'm sure they don't go to waste, but are they made into pies? Donated to food banks as pumpkin puree? Goliath jack-lanterns? Compost? Genuinely curious!) Congrats on first place! 🎃

I had the same question. I assume this is the case since as far as I could see that whole mass of leaves was one giant plant; I'm sure it produced more flowers/little pumpkins that had to be removed to get such a giant one :) 🎃
@A96Z86
Жыл бұрын
Yes! Exactly that It's kept in a vine state by controlling the amount of light it gets, the less the light it gets, the earlier in the year the plant thinks it is. Therefore will not produce any fruit (vegetable?) until it is given longer periods of light. When you start giving it more light, you should have a large amount of vines and leaves to ensure as much energy intake as possible, then concentrate this all into one pumpkin. This works with any plant/fruit edit: except for autoflowers
Are you considering in selling any seeds once you are done with this season. I would love to get some seeds of bear it's a really beautiful pumpkin

Good choice of background music 👍 because it fits perfectly to the growth of pumpkin.

It was surreal …… like Alice in Wonderland 😁👀even my 2 neighbors got in their garden !!!😅
