Can someone explain to me why my EE and SS measurements have not changed in 2 weeks but my girth and CC are pluggin away? Seems the EE has been at 60" and SS has been at 41" now for awhile but the CC keeps gaining and is now around 97". The age of the melon is in the upper 60's and it appears to be going flat. Is this what happens to the flat top melons, all new growth bulges from the sides and causes measurement to look funny? Thanks

Sounds to me the length has stoped growing ,witch is normally what happens with these melons ,and now your just getting girth ,-its not a bad thing ,it means your,still gainging weight,these things can get very wide .

Hey Chris, seems you really have a nack for the huge girths, how you ever seen the results other people get with your seed line. Would be nice to see if it's carried in the seeds or if it's just your process of growing techneque's?
