Re: HYB: Bigger sdlgs- not earlier

In my seedlings the earliest is not the biggest. 
   
  I have one seedling 05-49-G1 w/ six big leaves 1/2'' wide that is nine inches tall whose germ date is Oct 13, 05.  That is a full month after the first seed to germinate, 05-150A-G1, (Sept 8,05) which measures barely six inches and four leaves.  The second largest seedling, 05-43-G1 six big leaves, six inches tall at the point the cat chewed, germed Sept 19, 05.
   
  For those of you who have to know the pedigrees:
   
  05-49-G1: Tyson sdlg 97-14-11 X 03-09-2(JESSE'S SONG X REBOUND).  JS and R usually race to be first to bloom in my garden.
  
05-150A-G1:  Tyson sdlg 93-25-3 X SCORPIO
   
  Of the two Tyson sdlgs I can tell you that 93-25-3 has the more aggressive growth habit.  I didn't get a pedigree from Tyson on that one.  Tyson 97-14-11:(PAINTED PLIC x CROWD PLEASER) X JITTERBUG.  Both make very good pollen though... lol.

I used to do that. However, now that I have more space, I've started to 
question it. 

Was I planting the strongest or just the earliest? 

Maybe I can think of a way to plant them all in a way to tell, or may just 
buy more flags! 

Bye the way, I don't like the flags with the pvc stakes. The metal ones 
rust but the pvc is much harder to get in the ground.
