I have a monster growing.....54 DAP and still growing...big beautiful and on its way to being one of the largest ever grown. 3 closest Guesses to final weight will win seeds from this bushel gourd. I plan to weigh it October 6th or 7th (so guesses can be made up to October 5th midnight) if I feel the gourd won’t make it that long then I’ll go to an earlier weigh off, if that happens I’ll give a 24 hour notice for the end of guessing. This gourd is a 265.5 Engel self crossed. Let’s have some fun with the newest addition to the GPC lineup. Picture are in my Diary under Farmer Brown.
Thanks,
Chris Brown

Too many growing days left, no OTT measurements, kinda hard to hazard a guess with only diary pics.

I like that there are no ott mrsurements. Makes it a legit "guess" versus an educated one.

I'll guess 295

If it is "one of the largest ever grown" at day 54, it's gotta be some kind of monster!

260 Keep her going, I hope it gets bigger than my guess and I don't win. Bushel gourds are super hard to guess the weight on. I have had some weigh like rocks, and been super thrilled at the scale. Others I have been disappointed with.
