               So my question is do you guys feed any different then you would say a pumpkin or watermelon? Do you think the heavy gourds need more of something? or less of something? 
  How often do you water? Everyday? Every other day? Once a week?

               I feed and water them less that Pumpkins.  I water/fertilize  my 800sq ft pumpkin plants with 50 gal/day through late July-early August. And the Bushel Gourd only gets 30 Gal/800 sq ft every other day. So the 200+ pound Bushel Gourd only gets 3/5's of what the 1800 pound Giant Pumpkin gets.
