[@littlejefe494]

That pumpkins blossom reminds me of stormy Daniels......... Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho for president 2024!!!

I'd say almost 500 lbs.

The lifting ring and harness makes it completely stress free, it spreads the load out evenly among 6-how ever many straps you want, I use a 8strap system but if I grow over 2k I'd probably add 4 more straps. The more straps the more the load is spread out. It'll be a metal ring with towing straps hanging down with a rope that goes through all the straps on under side of fruit. KZbin it, you'll see exactly what I'm talking about

@@harveycardwell7274 great thank you! I will watch some videos for sure. Do you undo the rope first place the ring on top. Then feed the rope through the harness around the bottom and tie it off?

[@harveycardwell7274]

What does it tape? If it's over 500lbs you better get a lifting harness! I think I paid 300$ for my lifting ring with the straps and bottom rope. Basically everything you need to lift it minus the machine haha

@@harveycardwell7274 taping 600lbs! Another grower is allowing me to borrow his this season. My buddy is coming over with a mini excavator

[@harveycardwell7274]

@@Giantpumpkinswitheric that's rad man! 600lbs is no joke. Is this your first try? Glad you have a grower that's willing to help you out! My guess is that it'll be right around what it tapes. Look heavy but then it's got that viod where the blossom is.. what seed did you plant? That definitely makes a difference

@@harveycardwell7274 thank you! I appreciate that! I planted the 1583 Connolly. The cross is 2365 wolf x 2907 Paton

Snow White is starting to get green like Casper has on it.

[@Giantpumpkinswitheric]

@@theturnerranchwi I wonder what that is all about. The green started appearing the past few weeks

[@theturnerranchwi]

@@Giantpumpkinswitheric I just keep telling myself it means it will go heavy to chart. 🤞 The dad of the 2501 seed I used had a lot of green and that pumpkin went 18% heavy. Green probably doesn’t actually mean that, but I really hope it does.

[@Giantpumpkinswitheric]

@@theturnerranchwi funny you say that. I put my hand on top of the fruit and with my other hand I tap the side of the pumpkin. I can’t feel the vibration. I am thinking it will go a little heavy!

[@60-Second-Tech]

900 pounds?

[@thegrandadmiral7963]

Imma guess 650 pounds.

[@theturnerranchwi]

Let’s go with 711 lbs.

[@elidalton9755]

622lbs

[@Giantpumpkinswitheric]

Awesome guess! She is taping 602lbs! Hopefully we go heavy!

[@thegrandadmiral7963]

@@Giantpumpkinswitheric Remind me again when you'll be harvesting?

[@Giantpumpkinswitheric]

@@thegrandadmiral7963 I’ll cut it off 9/18 weigh off is 9/20!

[@CCatPPP]

Casper is much bigger in person. 630 is my estimate. 🧡🧡

[@Giantpumpkinswitheric]

@@CCatPPP I hope so! Hope it goes heavy!
