FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hello everyone I will be giving updates and photos of all my giants here in one thread. They are all competing to see which cultivar will get the largest for me. The competitors are:
DCXL
SD Kronos
B52
Low Giant
Ginormous (although I did get it earlier this year)
La Grosse A GuiGui
GJ Goliath
SW Giant
Big Mouth
Alien
King Henry
(And what ever cultivar I have that may beat them, like FTS Flaming Lips for example, can make up to 2 inch traps.)

Currently DCXL and La Grosse A GuiGui are tied for first place with 1.29 inch traps and GJ Goliath at 1.26 inch traps. I will only focus 3 flytraps at a time so right now the leader board looks like this:

As of March 30th, 2021
1. DCXL- 1.29inch
2. La Grosse A GuiGui- 1.29inch
3. GJ Goliath- 1.26inch

Here are pictures of the top 3

Nice! Thanks for the update. Where did you score that cool ruler? I need to get me one for sure.

I’m pretty sure I picked it up at Lowe’s a while ago, this is the exact one I use https://www.lowes.com/pd/General-Tools- ... er/3138565

Got it, thanks! I think I'm gonna give this one a try:

Edit - or maybe not! Some of the 1-star reviews aren't very good. But it does get 4.5 stars overall. I might spring for a good stainless steel one instead.

After a little more shopping, I went with this one:

That looks very nice, I remember a few people made fun of me for using that to measure my vft

What?! Why??!! I think it is awesome to a good clear measurement that can easily be seen in photos. I think it was a great find by you!

LOL I have no idea, I thought it was convenient

KMS Larger than B52? Check

Nice! I like mine and just used it last night to measure my largest traps which are all around 1.4 inches on FTS Maroon Monster, Wally, SD Kronos, and DC XL.

South west Giant took 3rd I’ll give a full update on everything on the 24th.
