Pumpkins - Day 5

Here are the giberellic acid treated pumpkins as of this morning. This is day 5 since they were planted. Compare the picture to the one from yesterday. The amount of growth I'm seeing here is far far from normal. I've grown pumpkins before and this is *not* how it usually goes.

If I wanted to really compare how they grow using the gibberellic acid compared to regular, "unassisted" growth, I'd have planted some in a different pot as a control group. I thought about it for a little while and decided it would be boring to have to babysit an underpriveleged plant.

Anyway, they've outgrown their "nursery", and I'm moving them outside to their new home in the garden today.
