That's good to hear maurice, I have never had one cantaloupe so early but also have never grown Sperry genetics.

Thanks Ed, I was hoping a grower with same genetics would chime in and confirm! I wasn't thinking heavy because it's the smallest? Hard not to think the worst this time of year lol! Very well behaved plant with tight node spacing, we got 24 sidevines on 21' of main

Those type of genetics used to be more common, but in the past 10-15 years and further pipelined the genetics, pumpkins tend to be glossier and also more orange. I agree, Heavy, Heavy, Heavy!!
