What are we looking for as far as a day 10, 15, 20 or 25 bench mark.....I was lucky enough to grow one over 100" a couple of years ago and really didnt have a data on it. or is there any information at to when you can figure your growth has reached half way! I know your looking at 35-40 of growth....but i'm guessing we cant look at a day 17-20 and double that and use it as a "half way" est. or maybe you can?

Marc, Most of mine have about 80% of their growth by day 20 and peak growth seems to be from day 8 - 20 then it tapers off. I have been tracking my lg's better the last couple of years to see how they are performing. Maybe if we could get enough people to keep up with their growth on their 100, 110 and 120" lg's we could come up with some benchmarks for future use.

My figures agree with "sambro" even though he is in NC and I am in ON.I point out the geography because here the growth depends on when and if we get warm periods and warm nights vs the the cooler temps when the growth slows down.

Sambro--"80% of the growth by day 20"
Eaton--- 79% of the growth at day 19

My figures are from my top 3 LGs from each of'05,'06 and '07,ie,the average of 9 fruit.

I have other figures but will leave it at that for now.
