Growing a 2480 pound (1125kg) Giant Pumpkin

[@about2mount]

This man has a witchcraft tenacity in radical green thumb soil preparation. My grandmother was this way also, my hats off to you young sir.

[@pascalxus]

Wow! amazing! i have never seen a more pampered Squash than this! i think some people's kids don't even get this much attention

[@andrealovasz9851]

It’s not a squash dumb ahhh

[@scrubbytheslime7703]

​It is a squash dumbass

[@GeeNoniGee]

I needed something to help me focus on something else, and this absolutely fit the bill, I was RIVETED!!

[@NortheastGiantPumpkin]

Glad you liked it!

[@odemodem]

you are a true master of growing. my deepest respect to you! my favorite moment was when you stepped into your pumpkin, that must have been a very cool moment. you nurtured the beast for all of its life and then you finally became one.

[@garychen7081]

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!

[@NortheastGiantPumpkin]

That's a good idea! Thanks!

[@TheWickerShireProject]

@@NortheastGiantPumpkin Yeah excellent idea! Inside scoop from the mind of the grower of the biggest pumpkins! We'd all enjoy that! Blessings from Tennessee! Amazing! I used to visit Topsfield fair as a kid. I love what you guys do! So many memories!

[@tammytamz3046]

I’m thinking you could add an Amazon store too… with things you buy from vermiculite to Felcos… and that plastic!!

[@tashdog1]

​@NortheastGiantPumpkin it will be good, but not needed to be long, with the names of the plants feeds you use.

[@chuffman24]

@@NortheastGiantPumpkin yes, please! You could do it via captions like the Primitive Technology channel too if you didn't want talk on camera!

Thank you!

[@dowhilegeek]

I'm getting the feeling this guy has done this before.

[@warwarneverchanges4937]

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.

[@alexandrevaliquette3883]

@@warwarneverchanges4937 You can make many different tests within the same growing season. It take time, space and resources, but you can.

I loved that. Thank you very much. My deepest respect from Türkiye!

[@FlomatonFamous]

I really enjoyed that video and picked up some good tips. Thanks for sharing!

[@bradbahns6116]

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]

That's so cool to hear!! Wow 15% heavy is awesome. Are you growing again next year?

[@bradbahns6116]

. @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?

[@Wyvernnnn]

Do you end up eating them a little? What's the difference with a regular pumpkin?

[@lemabegom187]

​@@NortheastGiantPumpkin Brother, I need these pumpkin seeds, tell me how to get them in Bangladesh

[@iconofsin1043]

I was thinking weather I should try to grow pumpkin or not, few seconds in, I'm already sold :D

[@SleepyEyeglassFrames-rt9qy]

Can’t go wrong with pumpkins. Butternut squash is a winner too. That’s most of what canned “pumpkin” is.

[@Tschacki_Quacki]

Go for it! If you don't want to crack world records they are easy to grow and very little work overall.

[@iconofsin1043]

Thanks, guys! I planted it when i wrote the comment and now the leaves have already outgrown the size of my 2month tabacco plants and it seems like it's forming flowers. Can't believe it grows so fast, hopefully will have a pumpkin on halloween🤞 Only thing i dont understand is why there is some yellowing on the leaves, maybe cuz i put it directly in sun, will do some research

[@Tschacki_Quacki]

@@iconofsin1043 Sounds great! Is the yellowing on the older leaves or on the fresh ones too?

[@FarmTastic97]

[@onenewworldmonkey]

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.

[@onenewworldmonkey]

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.

[@NortheastGiantPumpkin]

Thank you! I would recommend finding "Atlantic Giant" seeds. They grow the big ones.

[@Hallenecho]

Great Pumpkin, you could make a igloo out of it.

[@missionunpossible]

Yes! I’d love a list of the concoction he prepped his area with. All those bags of perlite, etc he used for prep

[@SleepyEyeglassFrames-rt9qy]

At 19:00 is that a heating element he placed in the soil?

[@clydewalkup]

[@johu788]

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. 😄

[@AndreaCcZ]

Absolutly incredible, congratulations from Italy.

[@pbshands]

Well done

[@cosmopolitanwonder9675]

Giving life and birth this pumpkin is more involved than getting pregnant and giving birth to my most beloved Son. I had no idea so much love and effort was made to grow pumpkins, magnificent size his one though, my baby was 6 lbs 10oz. Well done congratulations mate.

[@Tschacki_Quacki]

If you're growing pumpkins and want them in normal size, then you can skip a lot of the special jazz the guy did in the video. Pumpkins are great. Massive yields for relatively less work 🙂

[@Lori_M]

What was the reason for planting the flowers around the pumpkin plants? Was that just decorative, or was there a horticultural reason?

[@JonaWolf11]

The flowers (tagetes tenuifolia) help against various pests such as: nematodes, snails, whiteflies and others. At the same time, tagetes can cause some plants to produce higher yields. If you want tagetes as a useful plant you have to choose varieties that smell strongly. The varieties that are mostly offered as ornamental plants have had their smell removed, so they are more pleasant for people but no longer help against pests.

[@JM-ym8mm]

20:05 Man that is one rude rooster

[@TWOCOWS1]

Goodness gracious me! I could make 5000 jars of pumpking preserve with that giant pumpking, enough for rest of my life--or the entire town! Now, may I make suggestion: instead of cutting and killing that second pumpkin plant, how about taking it out of the ground gently and planting it somewhere else, letting it grow wild. Then at the end, compare your giant pumpkin to that freely grown pumpkin for your viewers to see and marvel at.
