How does this happen? Cause it's all the same plant as what my shit pumpkins are coming from right?

Are they just giving it exact measurements of every mineral / food that it needs every day or something?

They grow a very large pumpkin plant but terminate all other pumpkin buds/flowers. So you have a huge pumpkin plant within 100s of leaves all sending nutrients to one bud. Also, you’re correct, to maximize growth there can be no limiting factors so the plant has all the water and nutrients it needs in proper ratios.

Nah. These are specifically grown for size. Can't eat them.
