I have 2 on a plant & would like to cull down to 1 with out blowing up the 1. ( yea, i know, boom). Anyway. both are neck & neck in growth. They are 1 day apart & both are doing 2 to 2.5 lbs per day. Can they grow faster ??? they are 26 DAP and both estimate 30-32 lbs.
Looking for some numbers if any one can give me dayly growth rate they have had.
Its now or never as our weather will clear on tuesday for a few days & i would like to do better then the 55lb mom.
Thanks.

I would wait Chris, 2.5 a day is really pushing it already. With all the rain I would be afraid to cut one off this early. At 26 days 30+ pounds you should pass 55 with both of them. I ussually wait till they slow down to about 1.5 a day before I clip one. Sounds like you got a good one. Good Luck
