    Must have grafted many plants into one giant plants. Must have used lots of GA3 plants regulator to delay maturity, and must have use lots of IBA to boost root systems. Furthermore, must have used lots rich potassium fertilizer, pesticide and fungicide. The giant pumpkin was not edible because there must be lots of agricultural chemicals that had absorbed.

    When I was young my grandmother would never allow us to touch pumkin plants cos they are very sensitive. You are handling the plant so many times thus spreading disease from one end to another and keep repeating the process all over again.

    The way you do this is the complicated method. I am growing four varieties of giant pumpkin. You don't have to through the long process of soaking the seed and everything. I just plant mine in a pot and let them do there thing. It doesn't involve peroxide or anything. And you don't need fancy covers. And special soil. Plants are not hard to keep alive it's just making sure you water them, give them fertilizer when needed, look after then twice a day, and let time and nature do its thing. Don't do this method. It's the wrong method. I'd watch another guy do its like 7 years old or something like that. But this isn't even the right way. With the way I am talking I might get a 4,000 - 5,000 pounder. And I am growing Cinderellas ride which might fetch 700 - 1,000 first prize which might fetch 350 - 500 and big Max with night be 100 - 280. And yet I don't do this method. But it might be because of a different climate IDK. But this is the wrong way.
