Anyway the biggest mistake was when the 1304 plant was very small in the beginning of May i let it get dry for a few days then drenched it with 5 gals or so of water and the stem of the seedling ending up splitting open the following day. I was going to pull the plant and planted a replacement, but the 1304 outgrew the replacement so I left it go. After a couple months of trying to get the water out of the stump with a syringe and small ploy line the plant started giving up and in the day 50s the gains went down fast. Day 40 for the 1304 that grew the 1941 was 967lbs x2.45 = 2369 estimated tape final high and x2.05 = 1982 estimated final tape low end. Day 50 was 1393 x 1.74 high = 2423 and low was 1393x 1.47=2047. Day 60 was 1554 tape estimated after the plant starting giving up. Day 70 it had the first 8 ft or so plant removed along with stump. I won’t use any of the numbers after day 50 for this plant in any of my future calculations because I know the plant failed. Times those estimates by 13% heavy and you’ll see where it should have been. It should be a seed to explore if you like big and heavy.
