Divination by Dicot
Experienced Growers,
How important is the appearance of the dicots in predicting the quality of
the plant?
I have two proven seeds that have such warped-looking dicots that I just
about wrote off the seedlings altogether. But I didn't, and now that they
have several leaves they look almost normal. Should I grow them?
Why not direct-seed (here in California)?
I direct-seeded an unproven seed (417 D Morgan 03) into one of my mounds.
While the hothouse 417s have had huge healthy-looking dicots, the
direct-seeded plant has little wrinkled dicots. Is it nature or nurture
or
something else? And does it indicate anything?
Thanks!
Kathie
