Well its frustrating how many times things don't work.
How you can have the exact same cross that doesn't pan out. Why only 15% of
a hot seed stock makes the mark above 700.
We know that when we make a cross that 50/50 genes are from each parent that
can make up 99% then sometimes 1% extra genes are found in the cytoplasm--
Only passed by the mother are these the genes that take a pumpkin above the
rest?
Not all seed would get this extra gene dose.
You can look at the past and see which mothers have past good genes maybe
the extra........impossible to prove just some extra thoughts.
