I am absolutely positive now that this is the type of pumpkin the fairy godmother used for Cinderella’s carriage. Incredible video you could literally see it growing every day. Thank you so much.
The 1 in hey Arnold they played cards in.
There's an actual pumpkin called Cinderella
😂😂😂
luv u bbes
@@JohannesCardano yo bro wha💀
Watching them raise their leaves with the sun every day was pure magic.
God's glory.

The war of the Pumpkins
I love how it is covered as a child sleeping on bed 🥰 It is a loved pumpkin
I love how the pumpkin was slowly and menacingly bullying the can next to it LOL.
Deffinetly the best giant punk time lapse I've seen and probably the biggest fruit in a time lapse also! That shape and color is just incredible. It's the perfect storm of awesomeness!
Thank you so much! I'm glad I put the camera pointing at this pumpkin
@@NortheastGiantPumpkin Awesome video. Quick question why do you put the plastic and cloths over the pumpkin? Does sunlight dry them out or something? Thanks for the information. Makes me want to try and grow something like this next year. Completely amazing to see it growing day by day.
I cannot believe that it grows VISIBLY in a SINGLE DAY---that's crazy!
Sarcasm.
@@user-fp1hf6jd9g No! I 'm totally not being sarcastic! You don't think that seems amazing?? Growth always seems like something invisible, but it actually happens faster than I realize.
@@Gangari_the_Wanderer Genuine question: is it genetically modified, or can pumpkins really grow that big? I had no idea this was even possible
@@cm9666 No clue. But to be honest, I'm impressed either way!
@@cm9666 Not genetically modified. It is hybridized (selectively bred/ not wild).
Part of growing large vegetables is genetics and part of it is pruning. In the case of pumpkins or melons, only allow a single fruit to develop while allowing the vine to grow as big as possible.
In the case of things like tomatoes, digging deep post holes and backfilling them with compost allows for a more robust plant. The roots on tomatoes can grow 20ft. deep if uninhibited.
So, to answer your question, people have been growing massive record breakers like this for a thousand years if not much much longer than that.
mad respect for the camera man for standing there that long 🫡
🤣
😂😂
I gave more respect to the battery that long that last
he is the time itself
🤣🤣🤣.... oh brother
As soon as the video started, I forgot about the pumpking and started contemplating how beautiful nature is, and how they kept growing so beautifully😍
I love this! It's amazing how you can see it growing even over a few hours. And I love how there's just this sea of green by the end. Just this sprawling mass of vine all working for this one pumpkin.
I was noticing how little yard space was left🤯
I am a Nigerian so I don't really get the fascination with pumpkins (partly because I've never eaten one) but seeing such attention and care you gave to this crop and how well it grew is amazing! Kudos to you👍
Why, don't you have pumpkins in Nigeria? In your climate it must be pretty easy to grow anything.
@@Georg93 oh we have various types of squish (especially gourds) but we don't really have the orange pumpkins like in the USA. Also, only a few are actually consumed here, like cucumbers. The others, like the gourds, are hollowed out and used for decorations, receptacles and ceremonial stuff.
@@orboakin8074 Oh, now I understand. Thank you for detailed answer. 🙂
@@Georg93 no problem friend
They big and cute, that's it, and some taste good
Awesome video; the giant pumpkin community is so fun! Looking forward to seeing the entries at the state fair in a few months!
Not only a cool giant pumpkin, but its awesome how its huge leaves just grew out everywhere and they're all connected and growing that behemoth.
This is literally so cool! Pumpkins always bring me so much joy. Congrats on your record-breaking win and thank you for bringing us instagram followers so much fall spirit 🎃
Thank you so much!!! I'm so happy to hear that!
I saw you at the fair at the arena with bear swipe!! We drove 2 hours to see bear swipe!! Amazing video. Me and my momma have been following for a while, we’re learning so much and getting excited to grow our own giant pumpkins!! ❤❤❤ congratulations
All the bestest...
That's so amazing to hear!! And I'm so happy to hear that you saw Bear Swipe AND even better that you want to grow pumpkins. Good luck!!!
Wow! Well done for the timelapse and for the giant pumpkin growing, too. Awesome job! 👏
That was incredible. Really neat. The music was perfect for the video. ❤️Thank you for sharing.
Congrats on the weigh off. What an absolute monster.
Thank you!!!
Seeing the life cycle up to this point of your pumpkin is really something! Good luck with its remaining growing time🤞
Thank you!
@@NortheastGiantPumpkin is it done growing
Amazing and I wasn’t aware about how much assistance you give with protection and regulating temperature . What a wonderful entertaining and informative time lapse. Wow. A lot of work.
It's really nice you gave him a friend to grow up with. That can was such a good boy.
I'm more impressed with how much memory you used up making this time lapse lol. Awesome video.
The leaves rise at night, very interesting! Loved this! ❤
The leaves dry out during the daytime heat and sunlight, and during nighttime the plant can restore water to the leaves, causing them to rise again. On cloudy/cool days the leaves do not droop nearly as much as they would on a very hot and sunny day, and so the difference during day and night is less noticeable.
@@McAwesome363 Wow, very cool! Thank you for this! ✨
The way it slowly grows is so good to watch
Well done - thanks for going through all that work for us to see this monster grow.
The care and attention given to it is beautiful.
That’s incredible! Great season good luck at the scales!
Thank you!
Love the music.... almost dancing ...looks like a new winner. Best in 2024.
You can't make this stuff up! Amazing, thanks for sharing! 👏👏👏
I'm excited to plant a giant but the seeds I buy usually lie, could you tell me where to buy or what variety it is? thanks and congratulations!
Are you removing all the fruit but one and giving a single plant unlimited room to grow without competition? If not, you won't get something nearly this big.
Also, this plant is consuming enormous amounts of water. I would guess he is giving it at least 20 gallons of water a day at times if not much more
@@edwardkuenzi5751 I have tried both removing all the fruits and watering more, but the seeds they gave me I think they are not a giant variety.
@ as you appear to be an extremely competent gardener with over a million subscribers. I am assuming that you have tried basically everything. I would try to reach out to someone individually to get some of there seed but they may not give you some because most of the farmers have their own specially breed seed that they want to use to win prizes with!
@@edwardkuenzi5751 and fertilizer
Wow you definitely deserve more subscribers for this, keep up the good work!
Thank you!!
That's crazy, and incredibly cool! Props to the person who went to the time and trouble to record all of that.
Pumpkin ballet! I love it! And how wonderful to see how tenderly the pumpkin was nurtured as it grew and grew and GREW
It appears to do most of it's growing at night?
Fascinating. Like the day is for resource gathering, and the night for spending.
Interesting
The man cared for his pumpkin more than my parents did for me 😂
I love that can , watching his little pumpkin friend growing day by day.
My brain is so fried right now, but I absolutely loved watching this. Cool video! I love pumpkins.
When something starts growing like that you give it a beer 😂
I'm astonished at how fast that thing grew in even a single day. Looked like several inches!
This is the best video I have found in the last month
Thank you!!
The daily cycle of growth and leaves "pumping" at this very speed looks so much like our breathing...
Inhale... Exhale... Inhale... Exhale... Just at their own rythm. Fascinating 😍
Nature is truly amazing!!!💚
I'd like to know how he didn't get any powdery mildew on the leaves or what he uses to fight it. I always seem to have that problem growing pumpkins, cucumbers and squash.
I got some on my courgettes and cucumbers and used milk mixed with water sprayed on the leaves to get rid of it and some of the leaves were completely covered.
You could try prevent it my improving airflow in and around the plant by pruning for example. Maybe you can also get your hands on pumpkin varieties that are resistant to powdery mildew. Large varieties include "Alladin" and "Gladiator." Try "Hobbit" and "Scarecrow," for medium-sized pumpkins. Small, mildew resistant varieties include "Pure Gold" and "Touch of Autumn
Try this all natural product called Plant Therapy, it’s made of a few essential oils and always worked remarkably for my powder mold problems. It’s a spray for your plants. Make sure you shake it really good before/during the spray!! Leaves no residue and smells like peppermint.
It's a runaway problem for me at least prune agressivly and don't put anything in your compost
What an awesome video 👍great job on the pumpkin.
Thank you!
That's cool as can be. Thanks for making that for us.
Awesome footage. Congrats on the massive fruit.
Thanks!
Wish i had the talent or the room to grow something like this! Always amazes me how plants as large as these just start from seeds!
You'd be surprised what you can grow in a small space. People have grown over 1000lbs in a 10x15ft space
@@NortheastGiantPumpkin Wow, never thought that you could grow something that big in a area so small
@@NortheastGiantPumpkin I will try plant my seedling this week. Seed was from our 2nd. Weighed around 200 pounds. Here in South Africa. Did you use lots of compost/fertiliser?
Holy… it looks so magical and cute 😭 like out of a Disney picture film!
What a well cared for pumpkin. I give my pumpkins special treatment too! 💋
Idk why, but I think if we had stuff like this on prime time TV we would have a better world.
Thanks! I think so too!
Great job this year!! It turned out beatufully
Thank you!
Now that's how you make a feel good video. Bravo Sir.
Tank you for this, my son is obsessed with pumpkins, and this is his favorite video. It's "the big punkin"
That's so cool!!
Is this a process that could happen naturally? No matter how rare it might be, the idea of randomly stumbling on a 900kg vegetable in the wilderness makes me smile
Nah without tools and stuff to avoid pest from damaging it you won't reach this size
I think normally there would be multiple pumpkins growing from that plant so it's been trained through cutting to only grow that one pumpkin. Pair that with a well fertilized diet is how this happens.
I've found wild mushrooms large enough to sit on but nothing quite this huge!
@@jaybosher6144this. It's only possible because there are about 40 actual plants feeding that one big fucker
That thing's big enough that you could probably fit a grown adult inside... I'm reminded of an old Japanese fable where a boy was born from a peach (the peach was normal sized though, and he was born quite tiny)

"Charlie Brown, are you going to see the Big ass Pumpkin? tonight"
This is mind blowing got ur link thru Instagram and had to watch this...is it just pumpkins or u grow other giant vegetables
too ?
Oh for God's sake. It's almost three in the morning and I'm lying here binge watching timelapse videos of plants growing.
I can't get over how you can see it grow a sizeable amount over the course of just a few hours.
It’s so cool to see them “breathe” 😮❤
That's awesome, I've always wanted to give this a go and I never thought they got that big, just a 1/3 of that and I would be cheering
Im not sure if I get it right, but do all those leaves (and their roots) feed that single pumpkin?
Same
Yep 1 pumpkin for a single 1000 sq ft plant
Wow! I've seen a few videos like this now and I have a couple questions.
Does the size affect the flavor of the pumpkin at all? What happens to all the pumpkins after the competition (I'm sure they don't go to waste, but are they made into pies? Donated to food banks as pumpkin puree? Goliath jack-lanterns? Compost? Genuinely curious!)
Congrats on first place! 🎃
at this size it would be very tough and hard. and not the best for eating. I think lol.
Its the same with all bigger fruits and vegetables. Size always changes the flavour. Compost probably but foodbank is always a good idea
Probably tastes like water
Very cool. Thank you for sharing
It’s so interesting to watch plants stretch up everyday to look up at the sun.
Should get millions of views i hope
That would be cool
@@NortheastGiantPumpkin Who's the guy on TikTok that everyone keeps showing me at work I figured that was you lol
@@frankpumpkin2350 haha that's me I think
and it did :)
@@coda56 Nostradamus
Holy cow! I had no idea the attentive detail it took to get it going- the greenhouse tunnel, plastic under the leaves, sun shade, blankets, sunshade, blankets, sunshade blankets. 😂
The growth even in a single day is mind boggling.
I love how these Pumpkin leafs are vibing to greatness
Very interesting! Do you have to prune away any other pumpkin that starts to grow on the vine, so it concentrates all its energy on this one?
I had the same question. I assume this is the case since as far as I could see that whole mass of leaves was one giant plant; I'm sure it produced more flowers/little pumpkins that had to be removed to get such a giant one :) 🎃
Yes! Exactly that
It's kept in a vine state by controlling the amount of light it gets, the less the light it gets, the earlier in the year the plant thinks it is. Therefore will not produce any fruit (vegetable?) until it is given longer periods of light.
When you start giving it more light, you should have a large amount of vines and leaves to ensure as much energy intake as possible, then concentrate this all into one pumpkin.
This works with any plant/fruit
edit: except for autoflowers
I’m surprised about the amount of leaves 😮
Yeah there's a lot of them. 1000 sq ft for this pumpkin
your anabolic pumpkin could solve world hunger
"More pumpkin?"
"Yes, please"
The leaves look like synchronized dancers 🥰
Are you considering in selling any seeds once you are done with this season. I would love to get some seeds of bear it's a really beautiful pumpkin
Hi! Yes I'll hopefully have some for sale on my Etsy store
Parabéns pela dedicação.👏🙂🙂😮😮😮👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Awesome 👍👍..just loved it 🤗🤗🙌🙌❤️
The way they raise thier leaves reminds me of ballet dancers! Lol, fits with the music
The pumkin leaves seem like they're dancing to the background music 😂
My neighbor grows the largest in our state. His largest is 1,800lb. He grows about half a dozen monster pumpkins and carves them for display in front of the house come Halloween.
Wow you could have pumpkin for dinner everyday for a month with that pumpkin! 🎃🧡
Absolutely amazing
it was like watching something grow and feeling happy as a grower
I was so curious to watch this I m very surprise.
I am so happy watching it.
OH MY GOURD!!! It's massive.
It's the GREAT PUMPKIN!! 🫢
Cute pumpkin 😂❤🌞🍁🦋
Wow! Job well done♥️
It’s so mind blowing that a plant can get that big in 4 months . So cool
I love how on some days you put a rug over it, like you were tucking it into bed 😊
With this I'm so prepared for halloween!
Wow!!! GOOD technique 👍👍👍
The song is what makes this so memorizing…
Best ost in Rock of Ages 3 ngl
Unglaublich! Toller Zeitraffer! Herzlichen Glückwunsch und viele Grüße aus Deutschland
Thank you!
Watching them dance at the beginning is the only reason I kept watching🕺🕺
“That’s a big patch of leaves, how many pumpkins are you growing?”
“One”
I love pumpkin leaves dancing
My Goodness! That’s amazingly giant ✨🎃
This reminded me of an episode from Hey Arnold, and it made me smile 😊
The ol' chunkie boi got sooo heavy that Andre the Giant could not even hold it!
Good choice of background music 👍 because it fits perfectly to the growth of pumpkin. I remember few years ago i put some seeds in ground in my garden, in the north of France, but i didn’t absolutely know to what expect, so i went in vacation. when i came back one mouth later, the whole garden was completely covered of big pumpkin leaves, and 4big pumpkins too. It was surreal …… like Alice in Wonderland 😁👀even my 2 neighbors got in their garden !!!😅
Literally me from Thanksgiving to New Years Day.
