Re: 862.5Hester
The 862.5 plant that produced the 1064 was a good plant - not a big plant -
only got to about 350 square feet.
It started out as a double vine then seperated into 2 just before the fruit
set. I removed the other main and the plant grew normal x-mas shape from
that point on. It was nothing special of a plant - but unreal fruit growth
from 300 pounds till maturity.
