What do you have going and what crosses did you make?
I have 1576.5 LaRiviere x self, 1501 VW x 920 Cooper and 920 Cooper x 1576.5 LaRiviere but the Cooper plant is getting minimal care due others and crazy weather trying to keep up. Sorry Brett

I have a 1937 Werner X self going at 10 DAP. Two backups on the same plant of self and 1937X1933.5 Stelts.

1933.5 plant is around for breeding purposes but I've not been able to get a pollination on it (one last shot). Have had a friend use it to pollinate two flowers on his 1878 Leer.

I’m growing the 2152 Ganter, plan was to Self the plant but I have no males my fault so I’m using the 1878.5 Leer as the pollinator. Hopefully orange x orange equals orange.

2152 Gantner x 2416.5 Haist in 150 patch
1567 Gantner x self

Both pumpkins are young, but both are far darker yellow than my 1337, so I'm hoping for orange on both. I too, wanted to self the 2152, but went with the best males available.

Planning on 495.2 Ressler X 1878 Leer and 1878 Leer X 1875 Mendi. Patch took awhile to dry out this spring and started late.

I finally got an orange one pollinated today. It was my 1047.5 McWilliams (359 Foss x self) and crossed with a 1200 Engel. I have been using 1200's to pollinate a 1293 Witter-Benson (2145x self, 18% heavy). Trying to get the orange color into big and heavy genetics. I will be self pollinating some 1200 Engels and crossing the 1047.5 into a 1200.

I have 2 2152 Gantner x self, one at 18 DAP & the other at 7 DAP.
I have 2 681 Gansert x self, one at 23 DAP (already a deep golden color) & another one I want for backup is only 3 DAP.
I am still trying to get pollination on the 1157 Zaychowski.

2255 Zaychkowsky looks to have inherited the 1495 Stelts colour bred into the 2145.5 McMullen seed. Going to be a dappled orange beauty.

I’ve got a gem on my 735 and I crossed it with the 811 so that should be nice.

Pollinated 495.2 Ressler with 1875 Mendi. Hopefully the 2145 genes in the 1875 Mendi will turn this into a big orange pumpkin.

Pollinated 1875 Leer X Self. Big orange grow monster. Running over other plants. Too bad I am a month behind with this pollination.

My 1937 Werner X self is at 45 days. Started turning orange about at 30 but is lighter than I was hoping for (very creamy still, nicely striped). My 1933.5 Stelts X 1937 is just over 30 days and still looking albino.
