1060 Zoellner at day 29. It will definitely have nice color, but it is getting ugly at a young age. I hope it is not cracking inside already. It was a perfect 4 lobe flower like most of the females are on this plant with very long stems.
It has averaged about 17 pounds/day the last 4 days. It seems to be picking up some with the warmer nights.

The main must be between 25 and 30 feet now, I will let it grow a little longer, maybe for another week. It has a seconday that is almost as long. I turned it forward (90 degrees) to run in the direction of the main.

It seems like the nitrogen is really kicking into this plant the last week because the last several leaves on each seconday are much larger than the earlier leaves closer to the main. Maybe the warmer temps have a play in that also.
