The 1035 Aten 10* Squash. This one's got me a little excited. Day 44 for her today. Measuring: 155+98+89 =342 =840 lbs est weight! Thats day 44 folks! Now the issue here is the shape. A big bean bag chair type wheel. The proper method of measureing circumferance is the largest measurement parelel to the ground. This means I am measuring the large bulb well below the blossom end. This method has proven to be accurate in the past especially with this shape of fruit so I am confident in the numbers. The fruit gained 31 lbs per day, last 4 days and is sapping like crazy. I have always been a believer in the median weight day, between day 41-45......hmmmm....current WR 1236....hmmm. I am pusing her hard to maintain the gains. All vines terminated now. Lets hope she keeps going and holds together.
