With a seed surface that is 1-2 times the diameter, these seeds are ready to grow into the ultimate prize-winning pumpkin.
Precautions:
1. Keep seeds stored in a cool, dry place.
2. Cultivation techniques due to weather conditions or improper economic liability losses, and live outside of the seed price.
3. The seed surface is 1-2 times the seed diameter.
- Soil requirements: Giant pumpkins prefer well-drained, fertile soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.5. The soil should be rich in organic matter and nutrients to support the rapid growth of the plants.
- Sunlight needs: Giant pumpkins require full sun, which means they need at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day.
- Watering requirements: Giant pumpkins need consistent and deep watering, especially during dry periods. Water the plants deeply once or twice a week, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Mulching can help retain soil moisture.
- Planting season: The best time to plant giant pumpkin seeds is in the late spring after the last frost date, when the soil temperature has warmed to at least 70°F (21°C).
- Depth and spacing: Plant the seeds about 1 inch deep and space them 4 to 6 feet apart in rows that are 8 to 12 feet apart. If planting in hills, space the hills 8 to 10 feet apart.
- Germination time: Giant pumpkin seeds typically germinate within 7 to 10 days under optimal conditions.
- Maturity time: Giant pumpkins generally take about 120 to 150 days to reach maturity after planting.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest giant pumpkins is in the early morning or late afternoon when the temperatures are cooler. This helps to reduce stress on the plants and the harvested pumpkins.
- Harvesting tips: Use a sharp knife or pruning shears to cut the pumpkin from the vine, leaving a few inches of stem attached. Handle the pumpkins carefully to avoid bruising. Store them in a cool, dry place with good air circulation. For long-term storage, cure the pumpkins in a warm, dry location for about 10 days before moving them to a cooler storage area.
