No Place Special

Just wanted to say that I have a new personal best today! My old PB was 614 lbs and today my 869.5 Calai measured 314.5 OTT or 622 lbs at day 35! YEEEE HAAAAA! The last two days she averaged 29.7 lbs. My second biggest fruit is on my 842 Eaton and is 309.5 OTT or 595 lbs on day 39. She is still growing 25 lbs a day and will also be bigger than my OLD PB.

Show them what that 869.5 can do.... They normally weigh heavy, and have that beautiful orange color.
