Thickening up!

Yeah I thought so too. We have always wondered about how/if the walls thicken when growth has seemingly stopped.

YES is the answer! And the reason to keep feeding!

Also interesting how the veining looks like it really took off simultaneously to the thickening.

This is the information I wanna see from growing on a scale. I recently purchased one. Gonna give it a try next year.

Thanks, yes the cracking and cantaloupe-ing started the same time it began to go heavy to chart. I found this very interesting as well. I’m hoping to learn more from this. I have been daily keeping the weights on a calendar to try and learn something from them at the end of the season.

Ho notato sul diario Mc Milin
Dap 50 150 circonferenza
Dap 60 144 circonferenza
Forse un errore di misurazione

To interpret Jonni's post.

Looks like there was an error in measurement. The circumference is listed 6" smaller on day 60 than it was on day 55.

Thanks for your testing this year McMillin. Your helping many of us with our next seasons strategies.:)

Like KC said, now is not the time to stop feeding, even if your fruit is not showing much growth.

Balance, balance, Balance!
