Main seed – 1400 ‘09 Holland (1385 Jutras X 1142 VanKooten)
Pollinator – 1505 ‘09 Holland (1161 Rodonis X 1385 Jutras)
Backup/Pollinator – 1121 ‘07 Bobier (845 Bobier X 898 Knauss)

1400 is doing great. It is at its 3 leaf stage and showing the compressed ball of leaves that make up the main vine. This was a direct start from the ziplock into the main spot with heating cables and the hoop house made from rebar and 2x heavy plastic with 1500 watt electric heater.
1505 was my main seed but it was hard to germinate and the 1400 that I started a week after exploded out of the shell and the 1505 got left for dead. I decided to plant it in the garden anyways and I checked it today, there are some small roots showing so it may grow after all.
1121 is in the back corner and has the first leaf starting to show now.
