AG thoughts
I think too much is being read into multiple pollinators. I think simply
because its hard to know the future that it is a good idea to pollinate
whatever pops up on the main. Then you simply pick your best prospect if
your lucky you make a good cross but most the time you have to take what you
get.
The cloning experiment sure was interesting. I don't think you can get a
clone to ever be competitive....BUT this idea is interesting I think that
you could expedite a SELFING PROGRAM LIKE NO OTHER. What if you took a
Calai 846 selfed it. Get those seeds and keep that plant alive then grow
that selfed846 and self it again.........now that would make for some
interesting seed.
