Here is this plant about a week after grafting took place. The burn mark on the scion was from the heating coils of the egg incubator I used in the healing chamber I built. I kept the field pumpkin plants in there a day or two longer to get leggy with the light deprivation and boy did they. I like having longer stem plants that are going to be used for scions in case I want to use them for tongue grafting. There has been some question of whether or not I might have mixed up the AG scions with the FP scions (It doesn't hurt to question anything I do, lol) but I know for several reasons that in fact this is a true field pumpkin scion and not an AG especialy because all the fp's were allowed to grow longer and they all had burnt co leaves. In the end If I'm wrong you bet I will admit it..Photo's won't lie, lol. I also called my buddy where I bought the field Pumpkins from and he told me yes, he also noticed how some of the new kin blooms had yellow kins on them but in a week or so turned green like traditional fp's and squash.
