Amen! Barb.....Glen you devil
The seed for this topic was planted in my head at HMB . A gathering of
growers from all around. It was apparent to me that the standards are
different and it depends where you are from. Seems the seed your area
predominately plants has something to do with green mottling tolerance.
**** (What do the Canadian sites do??) Very subjective and thats why I was
tossing out the idea of BASE COLOR RULES...or OPEN DIV>. .skip the
percentage count. Keep it simple. Give me a ruling that is sound and one I
can count on to be the same for all GPC sites.
Glen you little devil 98% percent of the original skin has to be intack
anything missing over 50% your losing weight HEHEHEH. Come on folks we
can do this we can work this out. We can make a more sound ruling can't
we?? Or should we let sleeping dogs lie until it bites
YOU!..................MB
