Steve i only sent that 561 cross out to 3 people.....and your one of
them...Mike Neperency had it going and it was putsy and sluggish...so he
pulled it...i have one plant in a test patch and it appears just
average...size....lots of these crosses look to be phenominal and then they
don't fill our expectations.......It seems to me that most good crosses
have 10 good seeds that have 700+potential and the others are
average....and theres no way of knowing which 10 are above average...thats
where the luck comes in........also the more a seed is planted it seems the
better the odds that 10 great seeds will get flushed out...unlless your
lucky enough to have a 567.5 mombert which was the most " old reliable".and
probably most planted by top growers...its a guessing game.......if you
really like that cross and think theres a big one lurking in there i'll
send you some more seed.....really hard to figure just yet if its a piece
of ----or a diamond waiting to be found have to use your own
intuition..............Presently my biggest pumpkin plant turned out to be
ah a squash!! ohhh the pain!....brock
