Is there a number of days or a couple weeks that you "Actually" see growth of noticable size with these bushel gourds following a Pollination that has taken? So you can determine which to cull. Whats your experience with this? Thanks

i didn't chart when tiny last year but it seems that in 3-4 days they will be at least double. Slow to start but then they really take off. day 10 was 18 to 23 cir inches

Thank Chris. I had Otis tell me just keep pollinating because its slow to go on telling whether they took or not. I think thats the ticket. Will keep an eye on them. Thanks for the 10 dap stats. Gives me something to go by.

They can be hard to set. They do really shine up when set and you can visually see a day to change.

I got at least 5 about the size of a grapefruit so far, and several recently pollinated still am not saying any took this year until they are basket ball size, they fooled me last year and cost me a couple weeks growing time.
