If so what kind of seed did you use and how big did they get?

Hi - I've tried some of the Burpee giant pumpkin seeds and got them up to about 75 lbs. But I was lazy and not trying to break a record. Some people pay big $$$ for a few seeds from a prize winning pumpkin.
To get the biggest possible (for the variety you choose) you can make sure it's planted in lots of manure/compost/fertilizer and is in an area which gets a lot of sun.
If you really want the biggest, limit the plant to just 1 pumpkin.
Good Luck,

i work where they grow pumpkins - you use giant pumpkin seed from seed stores and after they are planted and take off you pop off all but 1 of the little pumpkins that start to form then use miracle grow in good doses once a week

I believe the secret to growing a giant pumpkin is to allow only one pumpkin to remain on the vine; however, you
can actually purchase Giant Pumpkin seeds from online stores as well as other retailers. http://www.johnnyseeds.com/catalog/subcategory.aspx?category=1&subcategory=465&source=ov_giant_pumpk_seed&ct=hg&OVRAW=giant%20pumpkin%20seeds&OVKEY=giant%20pumpkin%20seed&OVMTC=standard&OVADID=723073022&OVKWID=3677651522
