Giant Pumpkin cells grow larger than regular pumpkins, and are composed of more water (up to 94%).

They also lack genes that stop fruit growth, resulting in continuous expansion. Once pumpkins grow so large, they tend to no longer be round but will flatten out under their own intense weight. They will often form an arch shape on the bottom of the pumpkin for additional support as they "pancake" out.  Some pumpkins may even collapse under their own weight, and transporting them is a significant challenge due to their fragility.  During Peak Growth these pumpkins can add weight of 22kg per day.

Champion growers often grow many pumpkins, as pumpkins that crack under their own weight will be disqualified from competition.

Giant Pumpkins are grown from seed to harvest between 150 and 170 days.

Giant Pumpkins grow well with Corn, I grew mine in between Corn, and I think it helped shade out the hot summer sun, and also helped to keep the pumpkins from getting to much water from the everyday rain we had this year.  

I tested the the theory: Do not grow pumpkins close to potatoes.

Even though my potatoes grow in their own block, the Corn, Pumpkins and Potatos, where growing happily with a mear 6 meters apart.
