Hi Norcaliwood,
I've got high hopes that this will be a 10lb plant. Half this size usually produces around 5, so...*crosses fingies*...we'll see.
I got started late this year too. I usually have plants in the ground by April--these didn't get in until the first week of June. They were 3" tall clones when they went in. I was afraid I wouldn't get the size I usually get because of the late planting. Figured I'd be lucky to get a 6 footer. Sheesh...the replacement Juicy Fruit I added in mid-July is now a jaw-dropping 7 feet, and it was just a freshly rooted 3" clone as well! Now if I can just keep them all from collapsing under their own weight.....
