Growing a 2480 pound (1125kg) Giant Pumpkin
In 2022 I grew the 6th heaviest pumpkin in the world. At times it was growing 50 pounds a day. I filmed the whole process.

Shure but then again I was thinking hes between 30-40 lets say he had 10 growing seasons give or take thats only 10 misstakes in the temperate zone you get one chance a year, also hes using many advanced growing manipulations so to speak, plus the secret growing tinkering hes doing behind the camera. This is incredible impressing and well calculated. Unless its a generational thing to contest grow, Iwe grown all my life and shure you pick up a thing or two as a child then other things come as a teenager etc but still even with 20 growing seasons this is impressive.
I was thinking weather I should try to grow pumpkin or not, few seconds in, I'm already sold :D
You inside the pumpkin ... Impressive ! . Happiness and greetings from city of Concepción Biobío in Chile 🇨🇱
I really enjoyed that video and picked up some good tips. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome. Would love to see this narrated or annotated with you describing the process, all the tools and materials youre using, your thoughts and intentions the whole time...fascinating stuff!

Love the compilation of all your shorter videos! I grew your 2480 here in Oregon and got 1214.5 pounds that came in 15% heavy. I picked that one first and ended up wishing I had let it grow another 3 weeks.

. @NortheastGiantPumpkin Yep! Excited about next season. Looking forward to the seed auctions coming up. I did five plants last year. Not sure if I am up for that many again, but would like to take a run at 4300 pounds and a jacket. Are you growing next year? How many plants do you typically do?

Wow! Thanks for sharing your works! I see love and patient and more ... I will try giant pumpkin in my land next year for sure!
Great vid! I am a new fan and am going to be attempting my first giant pumpkin in 2024. Ever have an issue with too much water/ rainfall? New England here too.
Thanks for sharing your growing process. I learnt how to pin and bury the vines from your videos and used it for my first time watermelon patch. It's going very well. Do you cut the vine after the pumpkin forms for nutrient uptake or just so it's easy to access? God bless you. 😄
I needed something to help me focus on something else, and this absolutely fit the bill, I was RIVETED!!

Hi sir nice job ! What was all the amendments you put in the ground before you planted?
Buen video y buen trabajo
Lifetime supply of pumpkin seeds!
nice 😊so relaxing
Awesome. You should have taken a picture of yourself from inside the pumpkin saying "you'll never guess where I am" at the very beginning of your video. Google says you'll get a thousand seeds from a giant pumpkin. It doesn't look correct. I was just on ebay where people want $5 a seed for 1000 lb examples. I'm retired and always wanted to try it, not to your extent, of course. I was wondering about the amount of light per day on the seedlings. I should read a book about this but am taking the lazy route and watching youtube. I was totally absorbed in your video. Great job.

I don't know how I forgot to ask you for a recommendation for seeds. Do you recommend anyone? I'm not going for a record. BTW I used to work for a manufacture of industrial equipment that made pelletizers. As the lab manager I got all kinds of manure. You name it I had it. I tested them in the garden and worm casting beat everything except for one with a non disclosure agreement but I can say coal was part. Worms produce a hormone that helps root growth.

Thank you! I would recommend finding "Atlantic Giant" seeds. They grow the big ones.
It's clear that soil preparation is vital, however was there indication about amendment to happy frog mix?
😃🎉 Excellent I subscribed to your channel 🙏
verry nice video
I would have liked it to have written instructions, even if it was something simple. Have you thought about writing a book or do you know of a book that literally explains how to plant a giant pumpkin? xD thanks for the video 🎃 🧡
Does your soil ripper with the two poles and 4 hooks have a brand name or official tool name, or is that thing home made? I would really like one of those.

What delicious dessert can be made from this pumpkin?
WOW!!!!!
Id be interested in what amendments used. What cost and if there was a prize $. Amazing techniques. ❤
can i know which fertilizers did u used, and propotions of them?
What city are you in? I want to start at the right time… the weathers been so whacky!
Help!!! Where did you source your TKO phosphite from?
I think you need more fertiliser 😆 Just wow .. what zone are you in?
Great Pumpkin, you could make a igloo out of it.

A lot of work and resources to grow such a beautiful plant. What is the practical significance? Just a hobby?
I'm still don't understand how all these pumpkin fused into a big one.
Hello, what size steel pipe are you using? 3 Inch?
Must have grafted many plants into one giant plants. Must have used lots of GA3 plants regulator to delay maturity, and must have use lots of IBA to boost root systems. Furthermore, must have used lots rich potassium fertilizer, pesticide and fungicide. The giant pumpkin was not edible because there must be lots of agricultural chemicals that had absorbed.
Parabéns muito bonita a sua dedicação, consegue me enviar algumas sementes ?quero semear aqui no Brasil!.
Do you all eat any of the pumpkin?
Any nutrition
Do you sell seeds?
Sooo….. wires and poles?
What pumpkin seeds do you use?

Atlantic Giant variety.
Living in Southeast Texas disallows me from ever being able to achieve anything near this incredible result, not that living at a more northerly latitude makes this a mean feat by any stretch of the imagination. That said, I do wonder what would be possible with those genetics.

When I was young my grandmother would never allow us to touch pumkin plants cos they are very sensitive. You are handling the plant so many times thus spreading disease from one end to another and keep repeating the process all over again.

I think that he no tell is that that is his secret for the competition 😅 . I really think that that is the case sadly.
The way you do this is the complicated method. I am growing four varieties of giant pumpkin. You don't have to through the long process of soaking the seed and everything. I just plant mine in a pot and let them do there thing. It doesn't involve peroxide or anything. And you don't need fancy covers. And special soil. Plants are not hard to keep alive it's just making sure you water them, give them fertilizer when needed, look after then twice a day, and let time and nature do its thing. Don't do this method. It's the wrong method. I'd watch another guy do its like 7 years old or something like that. But this isn't even the right way. With the way I am talking I might get a 4,000 - 5,000 pounder. And I am growing Cinderellas ride which might fetch 700 - 1,000 first prize which might fetch 350 - 500 and big Max with night be 100 - 280. And yet I don't do this method. But it might be because of a different climate IDK. But this is the wrong way.
Is it legal to grow a pumpkin that big? It seems unnecessarily dangerous and wasteful.

Others agree, an average gardener will learn little from hour long video. Sorry. I understand this video is more about arrogance of time, money and nothing gained from video.
