Howdy All,
Don't I recall reading somewhere that you shouldn't generally cross two
space agers? I think I read that the progeny tended to be more unstable
and that it was better to cross a space agers with a non-space ager? I
think I was told that this produces stronger seedlings and better "extras"
in those that exhibit space ager traits.
I cannot remember if I read this or it was in an email at some point. I
thought it worth mentioning though as it fixed in my mind as fairly
important information.
Cheers.
