Lost the 1980 today. Rot went completly through. I cut it open and was not impressed at all. Thickest walls were only 7 inches. Thinnest we're 5 inches. It was 7 inches by the stem. Blossom area only 3 inches!. Today was day 53 for it. Estimated weight was 449 pounds (gpc) yes I got 449 when I measured Thursday. I measured today same measurements. Not impressed at all. Lifted up some vines and roots were not big at all. I made sure not to go to close to the Gansert plant. Great seed count. 263 seeds. The seeds are very thick and matured. I will post pictures of the 1980
