A quick Google search shows a 2004 World Record of 64.8 pounds grown by Scott Robb of Alaska. This seed is sold by P & P seed as the "world record".

Maybe someone who knows can confirm this. Not sure about the UK record.

For those who do not know him, Spudley is that person, plus he has had several other world records.

When does everyone start the plants in the spring?
And what is the growing time line for the lopes?
Do they mature faster than kins or about the same?

Ray, how long after my order is confirmed, do my seeds arrive? Ky growers seminar on 2/12, and would love to put one of the 64.5's into a lil raffle at the seminar!! Peace, Wayne
PS...tcat, have read 85 days or so, I think? Lopes(giants) go from dark green and growin, to turnin orange, and then rotting in very quick time frame!!! Watch em close & weigh em quick!!!!!!
