I weighed the bushel gourd again because I needed to lift it to check a soft spot... The soft spot seemed firm and dry, I cleaned a few days ago and I've had a fan on it.
The gourd is chugging along at a good pace, having gained 2 lbs per day over the last three days. I'm not sure why the gains are not slowing (according to the scale the gains increased over the past few days!) The weather was mild with a bit of sunshine. I guess I like how well the gourd is doing even at these lower temps (not much above 70) lately. I have been covering it at night with two sheets of plastic. The only other thing that could be helping the weight gains is that I added a fan. I'm not sure how that would increase the gains. Hopefully its not gaining more because its rotting?!?!
Anyhow, the growth curve seems pretty good for this many DAP.
