Do any of you know what would be considered average or better yet, "desired" OTT Gains for melons in a 24 hr period/Daily @ 15-20dap and on? Thanks

Checked my records for 2012 melons and they ranged from 4 - 6.25 lbs per day for days 15-20. The bigger ones at season end had the higher averages.

Thank You Sir, I figured possibly 3-5 to be safe. The 260.5 up to 12 dap so far has been right at 6.0-6.25 ott daily, hope it gets better. Couldn't find my 2013 records. Thanks again Dave!!

It has a lot to do with the weather more then the exact seed you have.Warm nights & sunny days.under 55 at night your looking slow.

Thanks Mark, your right last week we had cool temps and colder temps at night. Haven't culled this 33 lber just yet but I've also got a very nice one set that may take its place, long, long body..dang hard decision.
