LanTerra Update: (Wilma) Twix Left, AG/Squmpkin - 954* Landry 23 x 1500* Tobeck. Day 30 = 107 + 71 + 71 = 249.

Nothing special in those numbers. Was estimating Twix to be only 102" CC by D30. So its a bit of a pleasant surprise that it picked up the growth pace. Though still well behind the CC benchmark. It is a side vine fruit. The plant is (Wilma for its rock dust and Flintstones influence) nitrogen wild and very healthy. Wilma is a salad grower. Amazing the fruit set at all.

Twix Left is very round and symmetrical. Surely going to be very Bright Orange. So not at all a Squmpkin like the genetics behind its cross suggests.

The fruit has No ribs or dill rings. Thinking this suggests the soil moisture levels have been consistent throughout its 30 days. This is backed up by the data recorded on the moisture sensor. Clay loam is moisture resilient.
