Yeah so we can do fun things to weed with indoor growing by controlling the temperature, the times and color the light is on, ect ect ect. What if we optimized it that way, and then pumped it full of Plant Growth Hormone?

I wonder what growing the pumpkin in a space station would do, the fruit wouldn’t have to be able to support its own weight at that point

With these massive pumpkins (I live in farm country and we need hobbies too) the single plant takes up pretty much the whole field, and more problematically, drinks somewhere around 200 gallons of water a day once they get big. So it’s more a logistics problem really.
If I could ever justify throwing a couple grand (I can’t and won’t) I’d love to try growing one hydroponically with a swimming pool as a reservoir.

1700 pounds and the green is all part of the same plant that supports the pumpkin:

So we actually do not know, if we include exotic conditionsXD But doesn’t that count for many fruits?

We’re going to need a bigger space station.
