They look a little slow for a 200 lb+ pace, at least by my past fruit.

well i don't really think i'll get to 200# but i'm trying to get some idea how fast they grow . if my weight gain is slow maybe i need to push them harder. never growing them before the growth seems incredible . but maybe not as much as it could be. i'm going to measure again this weekend and post ott's on monday atleast that will tell me how many pounds a day they are putting on.
