If the measurements are accurate and nothing bad happens, then I just broke my PB today with 1356lb at DAP 74 and with 5 weeks to go until weigh-off. I'd love to get over 1500 but we'll just have to wait and see. The view is from the stump and it shows older leaves dying off; the older they are, the more decrepit they appear and their ability to power fruit growth diminishes. Young(ish) and middle-aged leaves are best suited to grow fruit, when their size, position and maturity is at optimal level. I think this suits the diamond pattern I've been working on, which limits the number of older secondaries, and places more of a demand on fresher leaves which are better placed in the middle of the plant. It's hard to tell without doing proper experiments but it makes sense to me when working in an area of limited size.
