Is grafting a watermelon worth it, if your just shooting for 200 lbs? Or is it only necessary for a record?

Optimum pollination date for field pumpkins going to fall weigh off.
How many days do you expect field pumpkin to continue grow or put on weight?

On Morrows and field pumpkins, when do you pollinate, fertilize, plant, and water. What should my soil be like? I have literally tried for a decade on field pumpkin and never really gotten giant.
