I’ve been looking for info like this for so long. Thank you for sharing! My wife is from Parker and I’d love to see your set up next time we’re in the area.
Way to be humble Chad, don't cut yourself short. You had a great season last year! Many thanks for your videos from all the backyard growers out here watching your videos.
Thanks! Just have to give credit where credit is due!
I love that he gets a moment away, then gets excited to talk about watering. 🙂❤ so wholesome.
Love the long format! Definitely need more of these.
Can do!
Love the long format. Very cool. Now i need an EC Meter for soil. lol. Always something
true story! Always something.
Your a great grower chad. Between you and Mike you guys have help me greatly. And I'm grow a 1378 yours and Mike's 2520. Another great video thanks Chad for all your help. 👍
Always happy to help man! Grow a monster...
Definitely enjoy the occasional long form video. Amazing work!!
Thanks.
Really like the longer format
Yet Again ! another awesome video , it's about time someone explains in simple terms that beginners can understand when getting into growing giant pumpkins ... its the key to growing our sport..... thank you !
I agree - most just don't have the time. I don't haha but I make it a priority to get the info out into the world. Use it well!
Love the long format
Perfect info! I grow giant pumkins as well and chad speaks the gospel! You explained it all pretty well. One thing I'd add is that plants can only absorb nutrients between 6.5ish and 7.2, nitrogen absorbs more close to 6.5 and the other to absorb more closer to 7.0.. so you adjust according to if you growing the plant or the pumpkin. Takes at least a week to hit the plants through roots, the leaves are like the plants circulatory system , foliar feeding wile growing the pumkin is the bees knees!!
Heck of a video Chad. Thank you for all the super useful information!
Thanks Jason!
Awesome content Chad! Thanks for taking the time to teach us!!
I'd be very interested to hear more about your other fertilizers/nutrients and when you typically use them.
Will do!
Good video. Enjoyed and great topic as most struggle with this subject like myself!
So do I! Learning along with you all.
10/10, IDK if there is much of anything to add. The next complex video might be you deciding if your plastic is too old. My longest day this year was 103f & only provided 14.5 hours of daylight.
My EC meter has a chart for TDS & ECx700.
Silica is always added first b/c it can adjust the PH so quick that it pulls things out of solution, it'll look like salts.
I too want to switch to powders. I still don't know how I want to mix it though, an aerator or a vortex. Mainly IDK if I should/want to add carbon dioxide using the aerator, like rainwater.
Good video man 👍👊
Very interesting topic and well presented. Could you show the link for the EC chart you talked about? Thanks

Great video! this is my first year using different fertilizers so this helped a ton. I got an EC meter but just as a good starting point for something like 13-13-13 granule, how much per a square foot would you recommend to put out? And how often would be normal?
I feed daily with an EC of around 1. I have been watering about 50-ish g daily.
Great video Chad. I have a couple of questions.
1. Did you find that using the EC meter had a dramatic effect on the amount of fertilizing you do? In other words are you fertilizing more or less than you were before you starting checking the E.C.
2. Are you checking your EC every single time you water or are you just doing it periodically to make sure you aren't getting too far out of whack.
#1 - I was using WAYYYYYYYY more fertalizer than I was before. #2 I was checking the EC anytime I gave food to the plant.
How many times a week are you feeding your pumpkin plants with the calcium nitrate?
Are dry fertilizers in weight oz rather than fl oz? I would assume weight but I’m not 100% sure
Yeah. I would read the label to get a base line on what they recommend then test to get your EC
Should you also ph water for foliar applications?
Yes, I would do the same.

Whoops. Forgot to delete that clip. Haha 😂
