Well that would be a fun project for you guys. If you want you can PM me I have some seeds I could give you.
From left to right: Calabaza Big Moon, Dill's Atlantic Giant.
Looking good, are those the Atlantics?
Yep both Atlantics, the one on the left has very strong orange genetics.
Would just like to comment on how incredibly fast these things grow. I've been meaning to get pictures but every time I go to take one, something else is happening and I can't get progress shots 
Yes they sure are fast! I'm sure if you sat there and watched them you'd be able to see them grow!
Ahh there. Oh poop gotta take another picture. It just grew a pumpkin
Pollinated yesterday 20/2
You lucky son of a gun... lol mine are just now starting to get second set of leaves and vine out shortly.
Should be fairly fast once those second leaves come out!
Little pumpkin is a little fatter and lower today, hopefully it takes, I may not get many shots at this before the weather turns bad.

Actually it does look a little bigger! How cool!
its actually already looking bigger again already! Will wait a while before I take more photos though
I heard the BIG ones can gain up to 30 pounds (13kg) in 24 hours. Hopefully you get a good one!
I certainly believe that, my last pumpkin was putting on alot of weight before it stopped!
my little pumpkin is bigger again! BUT this might be the last photo of it that you see. Its going to be 41 degrees tomorrow..105.8 fahrenheit.
That kind of temperature aborts baby pumpkins, burns leaves and kills off the new growth on the ends of the vines.
I've covered the ends of the main vines and I've covered the baby pumpkin and female flowers......but I'm worried this hot day is going to kill it all off.

It should be fine, just keep it covered and hope for the best. Pumpkins seem to be pretty hardy but I don't have much experience with Atlantic so I wouldn't know. Man you're making me jealous lol.
Keeping it covered will make it grow bigger as well, the hotter and more intense light it gets the faster it will ripen and quit growing so keep it covered and spray some cool water on it. Congrats on the pumpkin!

Thanks! Its still early days though! If it makes it through tomorrow it should be ok.
Good to hear, hoping for the best I wanna see some giant pumpkins!
