===== Why is my farm size not accurately displayed under my Farmer ID? =====
Firsts of all, the pool doesn't know your exact farm size nor the amount of plots you have. The size is calculated from the amount of points you delivered to the pool. The points are like blocks. You don't know when they'll come, but you can do an estimation. The pool sums up your points from the past few hours and by knowing a k32 plots delivers 10 points every 24 hours on average, the pool estimates your farm size. During a lucky period, your size can be more then you have, but it can also be lower during unlucky periods.

When your farm size is really off by a big amount, please check the following:

  * While you're [[guides:plotting|plotting]] your farm size will most likely be behind on your true farm size, as plots need time to submit their first points
  * When your node is out of sync, your farm can stall and wait for the node to sync, resulting in delivering fewer points
  * Same goes for your Internet connection: When your connection is unstable, it'll deliver fewer points
  * Maybe your farm is delivering invalid proofs (red bars in the graph). All farmers deliver invalid proofs from time to time, but it should not occur too often.
  * If your node is busy plotting may deliver stale proofs (yellow bars in the graph).
  * We could've had a bit of downtime. Please check our [[https://spacefarmers.io/pool-status|pool status page]] or the [[https://discord.gg/EgnjUCnCCt|our Discord]] if that was the case.

Keep in mind that on average your calculated farm size will be slightly lower than your actual farm size due to invalid partials.
