Would anyone be able to figure out what the weight equates out to on chart at 228 inches?Chart ends at 300 lb weight at 222 inches.Wish this was for a melon, but its for a bushel gourd that is still growing.Was told to use melon chart for the gourd.Was planning on going to altoona weigh off on Saturday but at last moment had to go to work.With help was able to get accurate measure.Harder to get when its rounder than melons and sitting straight up.End to end ,and SS measure,I had to hold up a straight edge to measure it as it is not growing on its side like melons.

Also 4 days ago I inaccurately measured it at 217, as the CC measure was around waist not stem to and around to blossom end.Sitting on ground on its butt did confuse me somehow.LOL
