Selfed is pollinated by the same plant,
Sibbed is pollinated by the exact same seed different plant..........Paul

I grew two 900 lyons seeds this year.When I pollinated my 900Lyons #1 plant's female flower I used the pollen from the 900Lyons #2 plant......the resultant fruit ended up 534.8 lbs and is officially known as 534.8Andrews01 and the parentage is officially listed as 900Lyons94* x sibbed, meaning pollinated by another plant from the same pumpkin or squash as the female was(same seed...like in siblings). I pollinated 900Lyons #2 with male flowers found on the same 900Lyons#2 plant...this parentage would be officially listed as 900Lyons94* x self.
