Qtip made me weigh each tomato twice just to make sure. The difference of .02 pounds was a difference of $250. I really enjoyed the weigh-off..Gales Woods is a friendly place. Next year I want to see the Minnesota tomato growers that we were missing this year...Dan McCoy, Bill Foss and Scott Steil were all non-shows in the tomato competition. Just think what could have been if they had brought in what they are capable of growing. I have a glow right now...PB, finally over 5 pounds and i finally beat qtip with something bigger...life is good.

Congratulations, you did it,nice job and nice tomato, what were the 3 dimensions?

I measure it at 25.25 x 22.5 x 19.5 for a multiplication factor of .00047. This is right about the numbers I have been getting on a majority of my tomatoes this year. I am not sure of Qtips exact numbers..but from what I remember his AxBxC would give him about .00058 for multiplication number. This is an issue that I really need to correct next year...I am getting the volume..but not getting the weight.

Way to go bnot!
The multiplication factor may be related to the genetics.
Have you been getting that multiplication factor for your big Zacks also?

Way to squeak out a win can't let Qtip get everything, I mean the dude is a celebrity, gotta keep him humble, ha ....nice tomato, congrats on the win and PB!!!

Every tomato I have weighed has been between .00043 and .00048 except for one big zac that came in at .00052. In this range, I have weighed big zac, delicious, domingo,megazac, megadom and megamutt. I do not think it is genetics..either something is missing in my soil or my watering schedule is off.
It is going to be interesting what multiplier I get from the winter grow tomatoes.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. Looking forward to the next season..which starts in about a week :)
