17 DA pollination. 35.25" circumference. My foot is my reference for size since I didn't have a bottle of beer available.

I have been doing measurements daily and have charted them with daily high temperatures. There is an exact correlation between temperature and daily fruit growth. Higher the temperature, the more the growth. Best growth seems to happen above 80 F.

This is odd since above 85 F or so, the plant tends to get leaf burn on new leaves. In the end, I guess all that matters is that it grows.
