Hey Pizza: I think the 291 x 239 is a real good cross. Maybe the best you could make. Good Luck

I'm growing mine on a pallet so i can easily load them.
I thought everybody did?

Soon as I get my F-150 I think I may just grow one in the bed so I don't have to load at all. :)

Ive weighed my 848 while still growing with a hook scale back in 2002. Im talking placing like a bath scale under Melon,Do you need to reset it??When it hits 300 I get the army cot out & sleep in the Patch with 1 eye open.lol

you could chart daily growth!

If it goes over 300 I'll let it be a surprise. I've seen someone use a hook scale to make sure it wasn't 199 pounds.

Chris, I am sure I have read it somewhere before...but when you say "real warm"...how warm ya talkin...low to mid 90's is what I remember, is this correct? Peace, Wayne

Kirk & Marvin have done tests this winter & found high 90s work better than low 90s
