Hey guys, I've got a hydroponic plant going, I've got two pumpkins set, which one do I choose?
Is there a particular shape that does better than others?

Based on shape, I'd keep 1. The ribs on 2 look well defined for it's size. Makes me think it's older, so closer to being mature and stops growing. How old are they? Where are they on the plant?

Thanks guys!
Number 1 is 15Dap and right now 63.8lb.

Number 2 is 13 Dap and havn't bothered measuring yet.
I'm with you guys Number 2 just seems odd. It just hasn't taken off yet and is putting on weight in a strange way, putting on strange ridges on the top.
I think I'll give it another couple of days and most likely chop off number 2!

both of the pumpkins are on secondaries nearly 10 foot from the stump. The main vine and several secondaries blew themselves apart earlier on.
The vine is 100% hydroponic
