Interesting, and funny that Start F1 was so slow for you. I grew Sakharnyi Pudovichok in 2015 - it ripened in 81 days, about 20 days after my early indeterminates that year. My notes say "2015 - Big fruit with good taste. Lots of cracking and no reason to grow over the good hybrids." Here is a picture of one from 2015, close to 1.5 pounds.
