Sorry to keep posting but was wondering if I can measure (with any sizeable confidence) the Cantalopes using the OTT Methode? Anyone know if this is fairly accurate on Lopes?

Yes the pumpkin chart is very accurate on lopes if they have good girth and shape. They ussually swell a little when ripening so your last green measurement should be dead on. Ussually the chart is a pound or two light on a ripe one.
