The Culled Gang:

From left to right:

The singe yellow is from the 1102 Pukos on the first side vine weighed 42 lbs. Culled Wen 7/15.

The singe White one is Whitey Jr and is from the 703 Guns. Culled Friday 7/17. Weight 20 lbs.

Pete, This info is for you: The two Yellow Vixens to the right are off of the 1004 Mohr. The smaller one is 45 lbs. The larger one to the right is: CC:60,43,41 =144ott or 73 est on day 21. The actual weight was 72 lbs. yes I used a Human scale to weight them, I do need a life!

This 1004 plant supported the the twins at about 16ft with otts of 144 &149 @ days 21 & 20 along with that side vine fruit. Pretty Darn good considering the 2008 OTT benchmark for a 20 day 1200 lb fruit is 158 OTT.

I will post a zoomed in pic of the culled 1004 fruits, you can see on the larger one the Bright orange is already starting to show by the stem area. Pretty good shape on all 3 fruits in the 1004 plant.
