Harpo on day 40 is 156.5-89-87.5 = 333 " ott amd estimated at 777 lbs. it averaged 28.6 lbs per day the past 5 days and is a very consistent grower as it has done 28 to 30 for the last 15 days. hoping to hit 1000 estimate in 8 to 9 days. stem side rib splits are still shallow and healed and none have weeped. there is one at almost every rib valley but one or 2 now. i think these stretch marks are just the way this girl grow....at least i hope so. i continually address with captan and areas have never seen water and have a fan running continuously on them since they showed. 100 degrees on the bank thermometer down the road. wicked hot today and windy equalled watering in the form of 2 hours rain tower sprinkler 4 to 6 am. then switched hoses, set timer and went to work and watered on and off with heavy droplet misting system all day, and back to the rain tower for 2 hours to cool down from 4 to 6 pm the plants, the tarp tops, the surrounding brick house gathering and retaining heat, the driveway, the fence...and myself and oreo my dog of course. she loves to bark and jump each times it comes around like a nutball. like owner like dog.
