Don't most pumpkins grow beyond 65-70 days ?? Its at 1200 lbs on the 2018 chart, Mine has had no measurable growth since day 65 ,But the plant looks pretty good-probably 150 leafs ,no sign of problem from above! Should there not be measurable growth at day 65-70,, its now 16 days until weigh off !!!

in our hot climates, fruit normally stop growing somewhere between 70 to 90 days from the years I have grown. You hope it grows 80 days but I have had healthy fruit stop at 70.

It all depends but I usually get ok growth after day 70. I had one fruit stop growing at day 50 this year so you just never know.
There's so many factors in that late season growth.

Hopefully its growing inside!
