I made a couple cross's this year that might be good ones, one cross is from the 1566 Rodonis that I grew for a pollinator plant that I never did use as a pollinator,,lol. But I did grow a pumpkin on that plant to about 400 lbs that I crossed with the 1161 Rodonis.
Good cross on paper though, (1566 Rodonis x 1161 Rodonis) not sure how many of them type cross's where made this year, but the 1566 produced a real bright orange pumpkin for me.
I also grew another 985 Werner to a EST of 847 Lbs (343 Ott)that I Sibbed with my 886.5 Bosworth (985 x sibb)
The 886.5 was also sibbed pollinated with the 847 est plant.
So I have two 985 Werners cross's that where both Sibbed
843 Bosworth (est) (985 Werner x Sibb)
886.5 Bosworth (985 Werner x Sibb)
Here is a picture of the 843 Est that was sibbed. Both pumpkins are totally different looking from each other.
One thing I have found out is the 985 grows two different type pumpkins, one a orangish color and one a yellowish color, and it seems like the ones that are the yellowish light color is the ones that go heavy for growers.
Thanks for the 985 seed Quinn!
