i can not decide which seed to use for my cross, i will be planting the (1662.5 stelts), and would like to use either the 1445.5 werner or the 1199 werner, i love the shape and the color of both of them, either way, i will be crossing them both ways, any help would be great, thanks so much!!!

I am going to plant the (1662 stelts) with the (1689 jutras). I like the color of the stelts and the girth of the 1689. I saw the 1689 and that pumpkin had veins on it like Frankenstein.

I also really like the shape and color of the 1199. However I am going to suggest the 1445.5 for your cross because one of the things alot of heavy hitters will look for when planting unproven seeds in power on both sides of the tree. The 1199 was pollinated by the plant the grew the 1445.5, so the total weight from both sides of that tree is 2644.5. The 1445.5 was pollinated by the plant that grew Quinn's 1430, so the total weight from this tree is 2875.5. More power in this cross IMO.
