Re:Harrold Eddleman help

Harold,

Sure do appreciate your time you have given to the group.  As planting time
nears I am trying to determine what is the best breeding technique.  I
realize that there isn't enough data to make any kind of a conclusion on AG
yet.   But hope that your experience can maybe give me a hint of a pattern
in plants you have worked with.


Here is a  slightly suggested phenomenon out  of most sibbed crosses there
only appears to be a handful of good seed (say 10)that are capable of reach
700+ and then there maybe be a couple of "super seed" or  in our layman
terms "silver bullets" these silver bullets seem to do real well  anywhere
in adequate conditions .  And most grower that get lucky enough to have one
of these seeds all exclaim how the plant and pumpkin wanted to really grow.
Generally to new heights on the scale.  Of course the the desires of every
grower is to duplicate that seed.  Can you shed any light on  why there
only seems to be a few super seed.  And is there anyway one could duplicate
there greatness.


Last year I tried only to grow from seed where both parents plants that
were sibbed ,  had each produced a big one simultaneously in a patch.

Also in your opinion would it be best for a grower  rather than selfing to
cross a decent brother and sister .

any help or comments is greatly appreciated..........Brock
