@@JohannesCardano yo bro wha💀

God's glory.

@@MyFriendlyPup Praise allah!

@@MyFriendlyPup Or human intervention on a natural squash variety.

@@2l84me8 low IQ statement, trigger response. Nature is God's glory. Amiba didn't turn to fish, then apes, then humans. The glory of God is everywhere. Rivers look like lungs, lightning on wood looks like rivers, lungs and tree roots. Patterns. Open your eyes.

The war of the Pumpkins

Thank you so much! I'm glad I put the camera pointing at this pumpkin

@@NortheastGiantPumpkin Awesome video. Quick question why do you put the plastic and cloths over the pumpkin? Does sunlight dry them out or something? Thanks for the information. Makes me want to try and grow something like this next year. Completely amazing to see it growing day by day.

​@@Parents_of_Twins sun exposure makes the skin tougher and then it won't be able to expand (grow) as easily. It's pretty essential to grow the giant pumpkins. As soon as it get direct sun for a few days it will start to turn orange and harden.

@@drakes89 Thanks for the information. That's really interesting.

Sarcasm.

@@user-fp1hf6jd9g No! I 'm totally not being sarcastic! You don't think that seems amazing?? Growth always seems like something invisible, but it actually happens faster than I realize.

@@Gangari_the_Wanderer Genuine question: is it genetically modified, or can pumpkins really grow that big? I had no idea this was even possible

@@cm9666 No clue. But to be honest, I'm impressed either way!

@@cm9666 Not genetically modified. It is hybridized (selectively bred/ not wild). Part of growing large vegetables is genetics and part of it is pruning. In the case of pumpkins or melons, only allow a single fruit to develop while allowing the vine to grow as big as possible. In the case of things like tomatoes, digging deep post holes and backfilling them with compost allows for a more robust plant. The roots on tomatoes can grow 20ft. deep if uninhibited. So, to answer your question, people have been growing massive record breakers like this for a thousand years if not much much longer than that.

🤣

😂😂

I gave more respect to the battery that long that last

he is the time itself

🤣🤣🤣.... oh brother

I was noticing how little yard space was left🤯

Why, don't you have pumpkins in Nigeria? In your climate it must be pretty easy to grow anything.

@@Georg93 oh we have various types of squish (especially gourds) but we don't really have the orange pumpkins like in the USA. Also, only a few are actually consumed here, like cucumbers. The others, like the gourds, are hollowed out and used for decorations, receptacles and ceremonial stuff.

@@orboakin8074 Oh, now I understand. Thank you for detailed answer. 🙂

@@Georg93 no problem friend

They big and cute, that's it, and some taste good

All the bestest...

That's so amazing to hear!! And I'm so happy to hear that you saw Bear Swipe AND even better that you want to grow pumpkins. Good luck!!!

Thank you so much!!! I'm so happy to hear that!

Thank you!

@@NortheastGiantPumpkin is it done growing

Thank you!!!

Are you removing all the fruit but one and giving a single plant unlimited room to grow without competition? If not, you won't get something nearly this big.

Also, this plant is consuming enormous amounts of water. I would guess he is giving it at least 20 gallons of water a day at times if not much more

@@edwardkuenzi5751 I have tried both removing all the fruits and watering more, but the seeds they gave me I think they are not a giant variety.

@ as you appear to be an extremely competent gardener with over a million subscribers. I am assuming that you have tried basically everything. I would try to reach out to someone individually to get some of there seed but they may not give you some because most of the farmers have their own specially breed seed that they want to use to win prizes with!

@@edwardkuenzi5751 and fertilizer

Thank you!

Thank you!!

The leaves dry out during the daytime heat and sunlight, and during nighttime the plant can restore water to the leaves, causing them to rise again. On cloudy/cool days the leaves do not droop nearly as much as they would on a very hot and sunny day, and so the difference during day and night is less noticeable.

@@McAwesome363 Wow, very cool! Thank you for this! ✨

Interesting

Thank you!

Thank you!!

Thanks!

That's so cool!!

You'd be surprised what you can grow in a small space. People have grown over 1000lbs in a 10x15ft space

@@NortheastGiantPumpkin Wow, never thought that you could grow something that big in a area so small

@@NortheastGiantPumpkin I will try plant my seedling this week. Seed was from our 2nd. Weighed around 200 pounds. Here in South Africa. Did you use lots of compost/fertiliser?

Nah without tools and stuff to avoid pest from damaging it you won't reach this size

I think normally there would be multiple pumpkins growing from that plant so it's been trained through cutting to only grow that one pumpkin. Pair that with a well fertilized diet is how this happens.

I've found wild mushrooms large enough to sit on but nothing quite this huge!

​@@jaybosher6144this. It's only possible because there are about 40 actual plants feeding that one big fucker

Thank you!

I got some on my courgettes and cucumbers and used milk mixed with water sprayed on the leaves to get rid of it and some of the leaves were completely covered.

You could try prevent it my improving airflow in and around the plant by pruning for example. Maybe you can also get your hands on pumpkin varieties that are resistant to powdery mildew. Large varieties include "Alladin" and "Gladiator." Try "Hobbit" and "Scarecrow," for medium-sized pumpkins. Small, mildew resistant varieties include "Pure Gold" and "Touch of Autumn

Try this all natural product called Plant Therapy, it’s made of a few essential oils and always worked remarkably for my powder mold problems. It’s a spray for your plants. Make sure you shake it really good before/during the spray!! Leaves no residue and smells like peppermint.

It's a runaway problem for me at least prune agressivly and don't put anything in your compost

Thanks! I think so too!

Same

Yep 1 pumpkin for a single 1000 sq ft plant

That would be cool

@@NortheastGiantPumpkin Who's the guy on TikTok that everyone keeps showing me at work I figured that was you lol

@@frankpumpkin2350 haha that's me I think

and it did :)

@@coda56 Nostradamus

at this size it would be very tough and hard. and not the best for eating. I think lol.

Its the same with all bigger fruits and vegetables. Size always changes the flavour. Compost probably but foodbank is always a good idea

Probably tastes like water

Hi! Yes I'll hopefully have some for sale on my Etsy store

I had the same question. I assume this is the case since as far as I could see that whole mass of leaves was one giant plant; I'm sure it produced more flowers/little pumpkins that had to be removed to get such a giant one :) 🎃

Yes! Exactly that It's kept in a vine state by controlling the amount of light it gets, the less the light it gets, the earlier in the year the plant thinks it is. Therefore will not produce any fruit (vegetable?) until it is given longer periods of light. When you start giving it more light, you should have a large amount of vines and leaves to ensure as much energy intake as possible, then concentrate this all into one pumpkin. This works with any plant/fruit edit: except for autoflowers

Yeah there's a lot of them. 1000 sq ft for this pumpkin

Thank you!
