An update on Greta: day 24 measurements last night were 88.5" circ., 62.5" end to end and 61" side to side. Total OTT 212" for an estimated weight of 211 lbs. Growth is on the slower side now, only gained 10.5" in circ. (approx. 62 lbs.) over the last 3 days which is fine with me right now. The stem & shoulder split doesn't appear any bigger but I noticed a smaller one on the underside of the stem that I didn't see yesterday (it was probably there and I just didn't see it). The soil is getting kind of dry in the dome and I will keep it that way a few more days (unless it rains!) to try to avoid any blowouts. I know my soil is jam-packed with nutrients so I don't know if I can slow them down a bit or not! Reba is also showing a few minor stretch marks and Bertha looks fantastic!
