Its a beauty Jordan. Many years ago (in the 2000's) white pumpkins like that were more common. As they ripened the white could turn green or pink and shades in between. Sometimes you would get a ripe pumpkin with all three colors on it. Yours is coloring up really evenly right now. It will be exciting to see how the color changes progress as it ripens. WHo know what it will look like by the weigh off!

You can enter it as a giant squash! As long as there is no orange you are good to go!

The pumpkin was initially completely white but now it has this green color slowly spreading as it gets older. Zero orange on it. It has a couple weeks to go until harvest, it will be interesting to see how green it gets

It is a giant squash! What is the approximate weight? Are you sure about your crosses that created this seed? Did you have any squash in your garden when you created this seed? It appears you had a very interesting Turks turban mix from last year. Do you isolated your male pollinators too for the cross? Do you allow the females to freely open on pollination day? It only takes one bee on your males or (more likely) females to contaminate your crosses.

I'm not sure what it's currently estimated at, I haven't measured it yet. I hope it has a chance at being a personal best. I'm sure about the cross that created the 1348, I isolated the male & female flowers before pollination and isolated the female again afterwards. I didn't have any giant squash plants in my garden last year. The 2702 pollinator plant grew very white colored fruit which I think is at least part of the reason why this one looks similar
