I don't know of a comprehensive write up. Its all the same as growing in a larger space really. Good weather, good soil, steady feeding of the plant...

Hi Tfinn6:
If you are interested in joining the 150 contest here is the link. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Attachments/150%20Contest%202021.pdf
Like Gritty said feed and care for them just like a regular Giant in a larger plot. But you will need to trim and shorten the vines a lot to keep the plant within the 150 space. Also AG's grown in the 150 tend to ripen about 3 weeks faster than those grown in the larger plots.

I’m interested in it, I planted a backup plant that I could enter in it, but that link you sent said entries had to be emailed by May 15th. I assume that means It’s too late to sign up?
