[@theturnerranchwi]

Having you behind Casper helped show her size. I might give that a try at some point. Thanks for the shout out! I really appreciate it!

[@Giantpumpkinswitheric]

For sure! I was really unsure how to show the scale! Also, no problem on the shout out!

@@Giantpumpkinswitheric great. Thank you! One more question. Do you use a different fertilizer when you're just starting to grow the pumpkin plant? Like when it's blooming then switching out to 15-5-30 when the pumpkin starts growing?

[@Giantpumpkinswitheric]

@@nikkipitts2748 yes for the first month I lean on fertilizers with high phosphorus which is the middle number. Once the plant starts to vine I then switch to higher nitrogen. The first number. Once I get a fruit to set I switch one last time to have potassium

Is Casper a boy or girl pumpkin?

[@edwardcote207]

Silence is golden! What determines sex of the pumpkin? Is it the size of the stump or the shape of the seeds or some other indicator? What say u Mr. Giant pumpkin man? 😅

[@Giantpumpkinswitheric]

lol all pumpkins are female. lol
