Day 40 F: 2154 Sperry (x M: 2587 DeBacco dmg)
OTT = 334"
Est. Weight = 810 pounds
Avg. over last 10 days = 33.1 lb./day
The overall shape of the pumpkin is starting to look like the one I grew last year and the growth curve is similar but about 10% behind by the tape. The one aspect that is different is the blossom end as it is starting to curl under and getting harder to inspect. The sonicator has been placed to ensure the "sound" can travel under the pumpkin. It is important to remember that sound waves at the ultrasonic wavelength behave more like laser beams and not like the typical sound as we may think. A speaker will fill a room with sound, but in the case of ultrasonic wavelengths these travel only in a line. So, if the "speaker" is not pointing in the direction you expect a mouse to walk, it will be minimally effective.
In general, the plant health is good and the pumpkin is on a stable growth curve that while behind last year is showing some similarities, with color that is a little less on the orange scale, even for a 40-day old pumpkin.
