Now that my monster Michael's Portuguese Monster is fully ripe, applying a DAF (Density Adjustment Factor) of 0.95 rather than 0.90 yields an estimated weight of 4.66 lbs. when applied to latest diameter measurements with calipers.
This estimate is at least 1/2 pound heavier than reality, however, since this tomato has a LOT of lobing and crevices which cannot be accounted for by the weight estimate formula. Still has a decent shot of breaking 4 lbs.
Scheduled for official weighing and certification on August 25th, 9 a.m. at the Utah Division of Weights and Measure - the agencies that certifies scales for commercial use.
