I took measurements today after 4 days.
2036 Glasier west fruit 36 DAP, 278# gaining 8#/day.
2036 Glasier east fruit 33 DAP, 404# gaining 19#/day.
1696 McMullen 38 DAP, 418# gaining 17#/day.
1493 Witter-Benson 36 DAP 452# gaining 20#/day.
1928 Globus 42 DAP 509# gaining 14#/day.
359 Foss 41 DAP 642# gaining 27#/day.
Night temperatures have been in upper 50's which could be slowing growth. But the 359 could beat my personal best in 10 days and top 1000# by Aug 25. We are running into stem stress on the 1692 and may have to cut off the main at the fruit if we can't release it. The 1928 is getting some splits and oozing on the wine close to the fruit and will need some treatment. The 359 continues to be problem free, but we have 52 days for something to go wrong.
