Which seedling is your most aggressive so far?

My 1180 Daletas and my 1295 Jutras are really aggressive plants followed real close by by 1068 Wallace. I have grown many 1068 Wallace plants and usually this plant is know to start out slow and finish the best for growers, This is the first year I have had a 1068 Wallace not have its original slow start, this plant is a grower now!

My 281.6 from 2004. I started 8 of them for friends & as backups. The fool things were first up & can't be stopped!

Of the competition plants the 1370 Rose is the best but still behind the backups. LOL

Unfortunetly none of my plants are very aggresive. Most of my first true leaves are wilted or burnt even after I hardened them off. If theres no new growth by this weekend I guess I gotta pull them and start all over again. Out of my seedlings all the Beachy crosses are the most aggresive which I plan on planting as backups if nothing happens soon.

Our 1112.5 was direct seeded under the hoop house and is by far the most agressive.

My 691 Edwards seems to be the most agressive although it is in a supercharged patch all by itself.As for the plants in my main patch it is a real close race between the 1065.5 McKie, 606 Clark and the 922.5 Emmons.

5/14/2007 2:54:31 PM

Getting there how long has your 1065.5 McKie been in the ground?? I also am growing one and its been 4 days in the dirt and nothing yet.

The 1231 Pukos is my best plant right now. the 744 Welty looked even better, but it's dead. The top half of my patch was wiped out while I was out of town over the weekend.

"" hey you"" What happend to the top half of your patch??

300 Peck Pear (572 Bosworth X 572 Moore) Has been the most consistently aggressive plant (started 24 of them - they thrived regardless of which treatment group they were in..Felt bad throwing the unneeded xtras into the trash today)

The other two aggressive varieties were: 933 Zunino and 1069.5 Zunino..

Semi-nu-B here...how do you judge agressiveness? How big are these plants? Time to germ? Size of cots? Vine growth per day? In my case my most aggressive plant this year is my 623 VanHook....growin 8" or so in vine length per day...approaching 8' in length...4 secondaries on each side over 2'. Is that aggressive? Peace, Wayne
PS...already picked off 6 little golden globes.

1229 Platte is best so far. Trouble-free and ahead of the rest.

Mikkal, thanks for planting the 691!

I also have a 691 in the patch, very aggressive for this early. Other plant is a 830 Bassett, its holding its own too.

#52 is heads and tails ahead of anything else here. At the pace its going it will be out of the greenhouse a week before anything else.

5/15/2007 8:58:38 AM

My 588 Young is leading the 718 Young by a couple of leaves.

My 781 Frantz plant is something out of this world. It was planted at the same time as Don Youngs fair plant
http://bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=63363
and is twice the size!!!! Its blowing away my 1370 and 1010, my other 2 fair plants. Matter of fact i quit watering the 781 because the main will have outgrown the patch in a week and I want a June 1st pollination not now. Darn, its always something to deal with.

5/15/2007 3:41:02 PM

1044 Privitera, and 1347 Wallace, are the best for the moment again
