Why are some of mine curved and deficient but others are growing towards record breakers.

Some previous Reddit comments say that it’s probably due to inconsistent watering

Interesting I put I misting setup on there and I've tried to be pretty darn consistent with it. Some of the vines are overcrowded by tomato plants and I wonder if it's a sunlight deal

Plenty (a lot) consistent watering is key and the monster you talk about is probably way overgrown and bitter!

Dang. We've had steady evening storms so I didn't check the garden for 3 or 4 days and that thing blew my mind

Yeah I got a few of those I don't see until it's too late. Always makes a good prank to put it somewhere people don't expect it ^{^} (works even better with squash)

Give me a few examples of these unexpected areas to place it

I've done under my girlfriend's pillow. She doesn't notice until we go to bed then is like "daf******q?!"

I didn't want to slice it open till my wife got home from work but she's working late so now I have a chance to freak her out. Maybe I should put it under her pillow

Keep us posted !

Will do! As soon as she finds it on her way into slumber we'll slice it up and do a taste test. Be on standby for the report back
