"it" is still averaging 15 pounds a day and is sitting at 180-107-103 or 390 ott and estimated at 1240 lbs. on day 58 this morning. the "freak"'s stump issue dropped it down to 13.5 lbs per day and is sitting at at 162-86-93 on day 51 and estimated at 833 lbs. the girls weathered out another storm and we got another nice rain yesterday and more this morning. hoping this rain and the fresh hitting of humic acid keeps "it" going at this rate. been hitting close to russ laundry's 1200 lb chart growth rates even though my numbers were higher than his chart for day 20-30. but starting at day 30, "it" went over 35 lbs. per day aver. for days 30-40, 24 lbs per day 40-50, and should see an average of about 15 pounds per day for days 50-60. if things progress as they have for the past 28 days in that sense, i can hope to expect an average of 10 lbs for days 60-70 and 6 lbs a day for days 70-80. this would put me at about 1430 lbs on day 80. i would then need to go at least 3% heavy or still creep along at an average of 2 pounds per day for the last 22 days before picking for a shot at the illinois record. that is all number crunching and dreaming cuz it could blow tomorrow and all those numbers mean nada. but for now, it is nice knowing after 5 days without measuring the thing is still growing.
