Just curious, I was wondering what the 10 day, 20 day, and 30 day measurements we should shoot for when measuring?

Nu-B here, but several variations are out there, ...basically 10 days...20" (recently saw 25"), 20 days...60" (prbly 65" by now), 30 days...100"....hopefully you have 110"...these are measurements for circ. only, not OTT totals...and are just benchmark est's for reaching 1K...Hope this helps...Peace, Wayne

Depends what your end goal is.
My goals...
10 isn't real important a lot of duds start quick and end
20 days 85" is good
30 days 130" is good
after that is when the important part of growth takes place, and if it keeps growing, and doesn't split you should be on your way to a world class fruit

Thanks for the info Nic and all. Day 9 I am at 25 inches on both fruits, 898 and 1354. I am putting up shade huts tomorrow morning, it is supposed to be over 100 degrees tomorrow and unbearable. I would hate to be a mailman tomorrow.. oh wait.. I am a mailman... sheesh.. that stinks!

My shade would be up but the humidity sucks with my breathing problems. It shall be a sheet covering mine until the humidity breaks.

My buddy Scottiboy came by and worked my secondary bury job. I can never repay two guys who have helped on occasion this year. For most, of us, helping a buddy any way we can is standard operating mode.
