Hi TT frrr t
I plant pumpkins too before and that is what we call direct cross pollination, but when we chose the male flower, we choose the one that is almost opening. I haven't tried the flower that already opened if it works
What are the soil requirements? Ph levels? Feeding levels ? etc Any good hard specifics? I just bought some Atlantic Giant pumpkin seeds...I'm going to give this a try!
GREAT !
Very nice
very good
Very good your Farming
Wow 😮 cuántos 🍎 pies se pueden hacer de esa gran calabaza. Es un Excelente trabajo.
Que lindo!!
ស្រឡាញ់អ្នក
It was a couple of weeks before I had any female flowers but I had plenty of male flowers early on.
I need these seeds !
The way he pollinated those flowers tho😍. I'll have to try this for my pumkin. Is there a way of tying it with out breaking the petals?
Great good video
Nice video
Wow....so big pumpkin
That was very informative - do I also dispose of unwanted pumpkins to reduce the stress on the vine? In other words - Do I limit the vine to one fruit?
Very good👍😇
Great video! to keep the sun of the fruit you can cover the fruit with a sheet ..

So after you polinate the m & f what do you do with it? Plant it? You never said why and what you do with it.

That is quite a bit of work to grow giant pumpkins. I wonder if the same procedure would apply to other vegetables also.

one trick that makes any fruit grow bigger is to trim the new leaves regularly. the plant "Intelligence " tells the plants to grow better fruit when it cannot flower more. its more like dealing with an emergency situation. when the plant cannot bear more fruits the few fruits it has will get all the nutrition to make it bigger and stronger. i had once tried it with cucumbers and it worked. i kept pruning the new tender leaves and used it in salads while the plant gave much healthier cucumbers

does he plant after he germinated male and female flowers ? oe it should have been done by not cutting the female one from its own stem ? I will try your description as well ?
Good Sar
he meant to say that bees would contamintate the flowers with undesired male pollen.
Not to many years later and we are growing them over 2000lbs consistently
Beautiful! 😊 But how do you move it? Is one that big edible?

I know this is an 8 years old comment, so you’ll probably never see this but the cultivar of pumpkin used in this video and by the vast majority of giant pumpkin growers is called “Dills Atlantic Giant”

When should I start getting rid of the extra pumpkins. Also which one should I go with, the first one (biggest so far), or wait until the other ones get growing?
What is the white powder underneath your pumpkin? is it sand? Or lime?
