I have an early fair contest date of 9/7/04.(No time for fooling around.)
#1 -75lbs OTC on the main at 9 feet growing at 7-9lbs/day at day 20
#2 -68lbs OTC on a secondary which begins at 3 feet down the main and the fruit is about 7 ft out, growing at 9.5lb/day at day 16
#3 -66lbs OTC on a secondary right out the stump with fruit out at 7 feet and growing at 7.5/lbs per day at day 16.
What would you keep?

I'd wait anouther week to make a decision. Quite often, one will grow much faster than the others, or be in better position, or something like that. The plant may help you make up your mind.

Main vine fruit....remember it would likely be bigger if the plant wasn't feeding the others closer to the stump and there's more leafage between the stump and the fruit...so it will likely grow longer too.
