Hi,checking to see if the rate of growth on my cc,s is good, bad or average.I have several that were pollinated the first week of july.They average 43" girth and 25" straight measure.I have not as yet done any measures using ott method.The plants look very vibrant and still very young looking.I would think there is still a lot of miles left in those "tires".Plants were direct seeded in hills on or about may 15th.Thanks ,Thinking Big.

What are you shootin for? Just from those measurements they are probablly about 75lbs. If you can kept the plants healthy long enough you could get another 50-60 days out of the fruit.

Hoping to get them as large as possible to make a good showing for my first year.I know they are not the best genetics but will keep giving it heck anyway.I probally waited to long to get them in the ground.The weather here will stay okay till mid october.Would let grow till it dies.Thanks

Your doing better than my first year. You,ve still got some time, keep the plants healthy and you'll have a good first year. Good luck
