Here is my 124" Young long gourd plant. I started two 124.5" and two 124" young long gourd seeds all at the same time. This 124" blew the other 3 out of the water. I will be planting the other 124" young in the next few days. The 124.5's just are not growing as good as the 124's. One 124.5 is a mutant and the other is slower then the the other 124. Kind of a bummer because I really wanted to cross the 124.5 and 124. But either way I want to thank John Young for the chance to grow these.

124 Young LG @ 102in. This is 124 young x 124.5 young. I have another gourd on the 124.5 plant that still needs to be measured but it's right around 100". Pic to come-

So the Long Gourd on my 124.5 young plant fell short of 100in but not by much @ 97inches. You can really see the color difference between my 102in grown on the 124 young and the 97in grown on the 124.5 young. My 102" is 124 x 124.5 and my 97" is the reverse.

Here you can see another gourd I grew on the 124 young plant. Same color as my 102", it was a very late pollination grown just for genetics.
