At seedoutlet.com in the genetic crosses section I have an orange cross which is 869.5 Calai x self. Great orange color and easy plant to deal with. I think it is listed as Pugh Cross #1

The following are all 2004 seeds that should be fairly easy to obtain if you make a seed request on the seed board.

891 Tanner (735 Pukos '01 x self)
933 Jutras (846 Jutras '03 x 1016 Daletas '01)
827 Garrell (801.5 Stelts '97 x 876.5 Lloyd '96)
664 Salerno (1230 Daletas '01 x self)
478 Simpson (1225 Jutras '03 x 932 Steeves '03)
883 Blalock (1048.6 Companion '03 x Self)
855 Garrell (705 Stelts '99 UOW x 846 Calai '99)
495 Reiss (801.5 Stelts '97 x self)
1125 Frantz (869.5 Calai '00 x 1225 Jutras '03)
1026 Jutras (1225.4 Jutras '03 x 1016 Daletas '01)
611 Wilbers (801.5 Stelts '97 x self)

Any of these genetics should insure good color & are also likely to be available. Look to SeedOutlet's Virtual Weigh-Off since the 827 Garrell will probably be included in the VWO.

My 731.8 Doucet was 783 Daletas X 783 Daletas. Cant get much more orange than that with good genetics to boot! Check out my diary for proof. :)
