It means that it was crossed with its sibling. For example you have two 801.5 Stelts plants (A and B).
Sibbed means that plant A was crossed with plant B.

or the b crossed with the a. I am wondering what you would call it if you crossed a clone of one plant with a seperate clone of the same plant, selfed right?

yeah it should be selfed..... or at least that is what i think... they both have the exact same genetics.... so yeah i would have to say selfed.

Ok....I grew a 455 lber from a 722Holland and pollinated by a 502ciliberto. This year I grew the 455 and pollinated it with the cloned 502....whats that called? ("southerned" is what most people say....hee-heee....just a joke)...but it's not selfed, nor sibbed....but same plant as father......G

not with normal methods.I read somewhere that Licoln Mettler only had marginal succes, even when freezing with liquid nitrogen!

if you're any farther south than PA it's impossible to compete with northern growers. We should try to make a VERY heat tolerant subspecies of AG's that might help a bit.
