Sad day in the patch and in the house. "Pork Chop" went down with a 2 1/2" split around it's blossom end. Had to tell the girl and ya could see the disappointment in her face as the tears welled in her eyes, tore my heartout...

"Pork Chop" final measurement 71" circumferance est. weight 106lbs.

"Wibour" will need to be slowed down, starting to increase in size at 4 1/2" per day circumferance. Kicked my self in the butt yesterday found three tetritary's one @ 5'1/2" with female bud on it about the size of a quarter the other two about 2' long. Some ozzing at the blossom end and quite a few stretch marks but no holes or splits, (crossed fingers) It should be at about 2 1/2" growth per day and slowing, but instead it has gone slowly up 3" to 4" now 4 1/2" currently 106" circumferance, will leave it one more day then start cutting secondaries to slow him down as well will hold off watering today and push back fert. to every 4 days instead of every other day.
