I measured the 1068 Papez tonight, day 24: Cir. 81", s-s 63", e-e 60" total 204" est. 189#. That is a 65# gain in 3 days, not to shabby. If it can average that for the rest of August, and half that rate for September it has a chance to top 1000#. No other females left on this plant, I removed one volleyball tonight. It was cut half way yesterday. Some of the secondary vines have been terminated, as are all tertiaries. The plant has nearly filled up its alloted 800 square feet. I did have a too close encounter witht he electric fence and It nearly knocked me off my feet. I sure hope a certain groundhog gets tangled up in it and fries.
