Is there a way to estimate the weight of giant watermelons?
If so where can I find it? Also is I would like to find a source on how to grow them.

Thanks Todd

TAS,

I have found that the OTT method for estimating pumpkin weights also works quite well for watermelons.

While reading some older posts on growing watermelons today I found a post from Phil Hunt (I think) and he says to take the OTT est. weight from the pumpkin charts and add 22% to the weight to get a close est. weight for a watermelon.
