Re: AG growth rate.

Yep, you're right Mike, Al's charts are great guidelines. I've been using his "best by date" chart for the past 4 years. I was also pretty suprised with the results of his late season estimation method ... it was darn close to the money so to speak.
 
Just to add to the fun .... the 1062 was....
 
17" @ 10
53" @ 20
98" @ 30
 
But .... would also like to point out that most of the fruit I had were pretty close to those numbers ... I grew a few 450 lbers too :))))))))))

Personally I think its so valuable AL took the time to develop a standard
growth rate----and share it----- any measurement to compare adds fun and
dreamy potential early on.  Perhaps its a way to face the music and channel
your energies elsewhere too.

AND would be so interesting to see how many great pumpkins fell into this
time frame.  I think we would have to weed the gardens of the aggc crew to
add more data if it met the 20-60-100 cir standard to there format. ........
But that would be  interesting!!

States with a lesser sunlight might be different. From last years experience
here in Calif. The 846 Calai hit the 10-20-30 day marks and ended at 839.
The other 943 hit day 10-17"-day 20-50"-  day30-92" day forty may  be a clue
if there still kicking strong.


Any notes out there on the 1200lbers??  Or other personal best and the
10-20-30day marks.............MB
