I guess this question is for growers that mimics

PRG on one thread mentioned
Hua Moa and Tigua @297/291 days respectively.
Thats Lambhorgini faaaaaast!

Any thoughts?
It difficult to answer with any meaning to it. Often new ones I plant are fast because they have full sun, less competition, and nothing has ever grown in that spot. Another spot in the yard may yield wildly different results and certainly elsewhere on the island, to say nothing of outside of Hawaii. That said. I've gotten blooms in 10 months or so on Goldfinger, Agristarts "Goldfinger", Mona Lisa, 1000 fingers from TC. My 1000 fingers pup from a different source took 4 years! So anything I could tell you isn't so useful. Studies or observations under more controlled and consistent settings, such as what PR-Giants posted, are much more useful.
