Glad I found someone here who had tried it too! Yeah these are Big Max as well. 35 lbs. would be a disappointment, any clue as to why it didn't do so well? Do you have any pictures of last year or this year?
Do you know if these are female flowers, they look different than the other previous flowers I removed.....
