Dave,
You're off to a great start....you seem to get good early growth through the years. That's a great line-up you have as well!
My vines haven't touched down yet. The plants are starting to kick into gear now it seems. I'm guessing my two best plants have a main of about 18". By my standards this good...as I don't use heating cables, or a heat source in the hoophouse. I think this is close to my best start, similar to 2007, when I grew my 1041 lb. personal best.

If you change it from inches to millimeters, I'm right there with you.
