30 if its warm. If its cool… I’ve had over 70 if not indefinitely. They’ll grow a for a few days after they are totally orange so no giving up until a week after.

That's interesting. I talked to a NC grower at a weigh off and his was all done at 22 days. I am thinking I would be better off to start as late as possible to have it growing in as cool as possible temperatures. My LG this year did the same thing. It screamed up until day 24 then stopped quickly.

That’s correct. I like a pollination between july 20 to aug 5. If we have a warm august I have 100 ish lb pumpkins. If its cool and theres not an early frost (first week of September)it could be double. Everyone has a different environment.
