Seedling bed growth observations


It's me again ;-)

I was doing a quick evaluation in the seedling bed yesterday and 
noted that Thornbird seedlings in general are really quite pitiful 
growers.  Some of these seedlings have been around for years and have 
never increased or bloomed despite repeated fertilizations.  Of 
particular note are the Thornbird x Triple Whammy  and Thornbird x 
Sky Hooks seedlings.  Having said all this about Thornbird, I have 
encountered some seedlings that go have average to good growth but 
they seem to be far and few between.

My new "mix and match" seedlings that have only Honey Scoop as the 
pod or pollen parent have been growing like wild fire.  I was 
beginning to lose faith in the vision that I could successfully grow 
and bloom SA seedlings but now I feel encouraged.  I actually found 
about a dozen seedlings that put on growth similar to what Mike 
Greenfield gets with his seedlings.  

I figure growth like this combined with a good Cygon treatment should 
get me back on the road to enjoying bloom season once again up here 
in the North.

Anybody growing anything particularly vigorous from SA breeding that 
could be noted ?  Vigor seems to me to be one of the most important 
qualities for a cold climate plant.
