Im not sure how this happened but I had 6 set on one plant for seed stock and the biggest one I just weighed today hit 50.2 pounds 1 pound better than the 49 pounder I grew on 1 plant by itself. It measured 2 inches smaller ott so it was a surpise to me it hit 50 pounds but it did feel heavy. The walls were much thicker then the 49 pounder.Picture posted.

There was 4 plants from my 37 pounder I grew last year from the 64 Robb world record. One plant got wilt with 1 one it and it was big but rotted because I did not have anything under the fruit. The other plant is in a raised bed and a tomato plant took it over but has one on around 35 pounds or more.So all plants put on some very big friut.
