Reminds me of her mother. � Tuesday, June 28 View Page 1522 Terry 15: pollinated it yesterday with the 800 Doetsch 15. � Monday, September 5 View Page Picked my big maters today. Smaller one weighted 1970g, grown from a 4.23 Jany. Now it is my 4.34 D�tsch 16 (4.23 x open) variety is "Big Zac". Bigger one came in at 2190g, grown from a 4.62 Fulk. Now it is my 4.83 D�tsch 16 (4,62 Fulk x open) variety is "Delicous". Fantastic and very aggressive seed to grow Paul Fulk. Would have been much bigger, I think if I hadn`t cut of some leafes and sideshoots from this plant.. Was a good rookie giant maters year, i think ;) � Tuesday, September 6 View Page On a certified supermarket scale �
