Weekly Measurements are as follows:
1790: 1089 pounds up 210 pounds for the week avg 30 pounds per day.
2009 Paps: 1129 pounds up 259 pounds for the week avg 37 pounds per day
2230: 888 pounds up 245 pounds for the week avg 35 pounds per day.
2009: 1313 pounds up 280 pounds for the week avg 40 pounds per day
Not bad measurements for the week as we figured our first drop in weights was on the way. Still running fans on the 2009, high humidity is making it tough to dry things up but it looks like starting on Sunday we will have 5 days of full sun. The good: Paps 2009 is tracking exactly on target with last years 2230 and the other 2009 is currently 200 pounds more than last years 2230. What made the 2230 special was the tremendous weight it put on from now till late September on a very diminished plant. The bad: Fusarium has made its annual return to our patch taking out many leaves on the 2230 plant. We are keeping our fingers crossed to keep it in check on our other plants. Time will tell.
