You are supposed to go for the biggest possible measurement. Looks good!

I would probably cut off that pumpkin and set a new one for that shape.

Looks good to me! Zero guarantee of getting a better shape. I had one that I culled the first and second and third and finally said "ok, well if thats the shape you want" then allowed the 4th and it was a nice pumpkin but I wasted a whole month trying to get a "better" one.

Your small shoulders girl might not be a WR but could still hit 2k if she wants to!!! The pear shaped ones are easier as far as vines and positioning... Less likely to have cavity splits around the stem too, I think.

I have two more down from it, heat aborts considered I doubt that I will cull for shape. 2000 lb would be unheard of in Arkansas. I will take what I get and be happy. I am having a good time! Thanks guys!
