               This is a nice image from Barbeetoo's huge melon.  Looks like a 5 or 6 lober to me?  Opinions?

               It appears the roof fell in. Probably when she cut it. There is a pie shaped wedge pointing strait down in the center that belongs on the top. It's a 5.

               Thanks Dave, the wedge is why I couldn't make up my mind.  The second image is fairly convincing that she was a five.  Now....should we be looking for 5 lobe females? lol

               Watch for the 5's but keep the one with the BEST shape and grows the fastest. Keep a 3 ONLY if you have to.
