AUUUUUUUGH. No one ever listens to me!!!! This is EXACTLY what I have been
asking about all summer! I even started it on my own, without really even
knowing what I was doing, sionce no one really would talk to me about it, and
if there would be any benefits. So ANYWAY, I figured it would be good to start
with the BEST of the BEST, so I already have an inbred (2 generation) 567
Mombert seed, (that's the one I only have 15 of). I was trying to figure out
what to cross it with, or if it needed even more inbreeding first. I figured
it would be interesting to cross with the 1006 x self x self or something. I
don't know, does anyone have any input on this?!
