A pumping farmer in Georgia has created chemical mixtures to grow glow-in-the-dark pumpkins.
Dusty Smith said he uses drip tape through each row of the pumpkin patch to feed the crop. He mixes “some chemicals in” when he feeds and waters them.
During the day, sunlight or UV light charges the pumpkins. The glow-in-the-dark aspect of certain pumpkins can be seen during the day by using a UV light.
“You know, charge it up all day, and it’ll glow all night. Gives it up to 18 hours.”
By next year, he hopes to have a full “haunted” pumpkin patch trail lined with the glow-in-the-dark pumpkins for all to enjoy.
