Spider just because it makes me choose a file this beautiful lady was residing in our cabin bathroom sink. I didn't take pictures today too tired after shoveling pea gravel when it's 9o+ outside My kin went from 153 ott to 194 approx 18 lb gain maybe I should start giving her a little more love if she doing that with just bug spray and water lol.

My ott 270. So estimate of 442! I'm so excited especially since I have not babied this plant at all i just got back from another week vacation .my weight off isn't untill October if she keeps going I could do really well.

Very sad. She started rotting out of the bottom. No weight off for this one she stopped growing awhile back after our severe heat lasted over a week and had no luck getting any good ones on until too late now I've got at least half dozen.

I was very happy with this plant considering I wasn't able to babysit it as much as I should it took our heat weather in stride while my others failed.
 
Friday, October 20 View Page
In the end this plant from 1166 Bryn 1675 Daletas x 1998 Jutras was 45ft x 25ft if I get good seed I will grow next year and perhaps keep more growing for longer so I have at least one for weight off.

This is her leaking as you see I didn't get anything underneath her that is most likely why she rotted she was over 200lbs by the time I got back from 10 day vacation had hoped to get another on farther out but didn't happen. Lessons learned.
