Wow! Over 8 lbs! That is incredible. Congrats Dan, I'm sure you'll beat your own record soon. I'm assuming that is a Big Zac?

Maybe 5.95 Domingo + 6.00 lb Santo?

Just a wild guess.

Yeah, the Domingo comes through as well as the Delicous haha just guessing. Really a great achievment. You should get an additional price for the consistency on which you are producing those giants. I feel, that I am not even able to reproduce a 4lber again. Would love to see a picture of the plant too.
