    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.

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.

    • @JonaWolf11
      @JonaWolf11 7 місяців тому +2

      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.

Then at the end, compare your giant pumpkin to that freely grown pumpkin for your viewers to see and marvel at.
