here is the correct way. I have noticed some growers are doing Circumference wrong. It is from stem end around the blossum end and back.

Linus, you go over the blossom end?,the part that sticks out at the end right, like over the dried lobes?that would give me a couple more inches, i been going around the blossom end but i havnt been measuring over top of it, I been going underneath it.

You want to measure the circumference at the largest part on a line that is equidistant to the ground. (The blossom end "outy" does not count!)

What I was trying to get at was measuring Parallel to the ground. Kilr is correct don't go around the blossoms outy.
