how did I miss that....Go Rick. Can you post a picture from a different angle so we can be sure it is fused. Wixom, where does this land on your WR benchmarks?

Hard for me to tell ? The night time temperatures in ricks area average about 7-10 cooler than in my area so ricks tomatoes will usually stay on the vine about 7-10 days longer than mine. That being said i look see that rick got 1.25" of circumference the last two days were mine were starting to drop to 3/4" at the same size. I agree with rick that he probably has about 23 more days to grow so im guessing ritlght now about 8+ lbs

The photo from July 20th shows it fully fused when it was smaller. I cannot get a picture from behind, only above. Trust me, it’s fully fused. New photos on Saturday. I had some BER but it is cured now. The last four days for growth have been 1.25”, 1.25”, 1.00”, 1.00”. It is 21.75” at 25 dap. I’d be happy with 8.23 lbs.

It looks like it might have been a multi-day pollination. I see the picture of the blossom from July 1st:

also July 13th:

I looked at your weather forecast. Looks like the majority of the days highs will be mid 80's and lows will be mid to upper 50's.

What did porkchops 8.22 measure?

LOL Wolfpack. I work out of town 3-4 days a week... I’m screwed.
Bnot, Chops great tomato was 28.50” from what I could see in his classic 2017 diary. If you want a full array of emotions, go back and check out one of the most entertaining diary’s off all time.

Rick sent me his 3 way measurements. He is coming close to Dan S multiplied numbers...still a ways away from Porchops. Dan S had an mFactor of .00058...Porkchop had .00046. Three way measurements multiplied:

Porkchop 17617, Dan S world record 16228, Rick's current is 15873. He should have 9 more days to grow.

Hoping for a high 5 mFactor for you Rick....that is a beauty.

wow....go rebel....those measurements are awesome...30x21x28...that gives you a multiplied total of 17640. That is the biggest measurement I have ever seen. By volume you beat Porckchop. That is really green yet...hope GPC has a witness scheduled. Eddy...get your checkbook out...if rebel matches Dan S mFactor...10 is history.
