"Big Max" Pumpkins are Known as a Hybrid and are Not Actually a Part of the Pumpkin-Family, but Rather a Part of the Squash Family. First Developed by an Ontario Farmer William Warnock in the Late 1800s, Big Max Pumpkins were Created for the Sole Purpose of Growing to Massive Sizes and Winning Pumpkin Growing Contests. Warnock’s First Record-Breaking Big Max Pumpkin, which Weighed an Incredible 400 Pounds was Grown in 1893 and Shocked the World at the Time Due to it's Massive Size. In Fact, this Pumpkin was So Impressive that Warnock was Invited to Showcase it at the Paris World Fair. Big Max pumpkins do well with direct sunlight and warm weather. However, some shade can be beneficial if the weather is particularly hot. Big max pumpkin seeds require full sun and a large amount of water. They need at least one to two inches per week. They need moist soil, so frequent and consistent watering is needed. The growing season of the pumpkin is generally during the summer months, and the seeds should be moved outdoors during this time. The ideal temperature for them is between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. They do not do well under cold conditions and will definitely not reach their full potential if grown in cold temperatures. They do not tolerate frost, so if you are living in an area that has harsh frosts, then you will need to grow them indoors. Wait at least two weeks after your last frost date to plant Big Max pumpkins. They need at least 120 days to maturity, so if there will be a frost date before then, do not grow them outdoors. Loam soil should be used for Big Max pumpkins as it retains water yet also has good drainage, which makes it ideal for many plants. It is made from clay, sand, and silt and provides great air circulation which is ideal for Big Max pumpkins. Zones 3-12Big Max Germination:1) Plant seeds when temperatures are above 70 degrees F at all times. When germinating indoors, use a heated propagator mat to maintain a temperature between 75-80 degrees F., and provide as much light as possible for optimal growth.2) Plant seeds ½ inch deep in warm and rich soil, such as loam. Keep the pH level between 6.0 to 6.8 and a temperature above 70 degrees. Keep the soil "moist, but not wet" at all times. 3) Germination typically takes 7 to 10 days, during which time, you’ll need to provide high levels of nutrients. You can use a fertilizer that is phosphorus-rich. This will help your pumpkins grow healthy. You can also use a foliar spray as well for optimal growth.
