Pumpkin pollinated in late July, harvested a month early due to a rot spot. Pollination is considered ‘open’ because I did not reseal the flower completely after pollination. Pumpkin was also sunburned on the top at dap 20 (about 100 pounds) so the top never got thick (only 1.5-2 inches thick) and the entire side barely grew, contributing to the light weight.
