what is the latest someone has pollinated a famle here and the biggest it got?

my plants are behind, expecially after i had to cut out my biggest plant today due to stump split.

there is no way i will be pollinating the 1st week of july, maybe the end it is looking.

like i have mentioned before, i am only shooting for 100 pounds, is it possible to hit 100 pounds by pollinating the end of july?

Hi Jeremy, I pollinated one on the 27th July last year on a side vine and harvested it on the 29th October.
It came in at 167 pound..

My 150 was pollinated on August 5th, picked Oct third. And this is finland, snow and snow...You will most likely have way better weather there,no rush.

Hitting 400-500lbs should not be a problem at all depending on your plant/patch/weather.

In 2004 I grew a 266 lber on a 100 sq ft patch pollinated in the middle of August.

You,ll make it past 100lbs . You could make 500 or 600 just depends on what happens the rest of your season.
