Seed Auction Information
One of the seeds I donated for auction was the 2034 Barlow '15
It was grown in the patch on a 2036 Glasier plant. On day 42 the unbelievable growth rate coupled with 3 days w/o watering (life has its priorities) the pumpkin developed a sunken spot. After that developed the plant received half as much water than what I planned due to trying to control the growth a bit so it wouldn't split. I was relieved when I got it to a weigh-off :) The sunken spot was ~1.5" thick at the thinnest area.
Stapled to the 2034 Barlow '15 packet is a seed packet from Rocky 2.
Rocky 2 is the name of a 2036 Glasier plant that was grown hydroponically on a bed of pearock. The pumpkin, Rocky 2, was sib pollinated (from the other 2036 Glasier that grew the 2034 Barlow '15)
Rocky 2 developed a soft spot and was not weighed because seed collection was the priority. It was 363" OTT day 80.
