Day 51, 58in girth 36in length, OTT is 198, it has been growing 4.3lbs a day for the month of July. I just moved the melon about one inch to relieve stress on the vine. I am using water soluble fertilizer 24-8-16 once a week. Any other tips from the heavy hitters to get the max growth out of this melon before AUG 19th?

#1 looking good
#2 girth 47 length 30 OTT 160
#3 girth 49 length 30 OTT 163

Cliff, since you are ahead of Chris' world record pace from last year; shouldn't you be giving us tips?
