Second year I've saved a seed with rotting cotyledons by removing all of the seed coat, then planting in the "already sprouted" position. For an older, or damaged seed, I think this can really make a difference, because any rot stops when exposed to dry air and sunlight. I think this 1442.5 will make it. 1442.5 is a 20% heavy 1161 Rodonis x 1623.5 Wallace, and I think it's recessive for very good color. I just like the cross, the genetics, and the possibility it will throw a beauty.

The 1195 is up so I'm putting in a 1774.5 Carter.

Current 150 sq ft and production plant lineup:

Gerry x 11
186 Radach x 3
366 Est. Clayton x 2
406.5 Clayton
1195 Kaminski
1297 Holland
1442.5 Hoomis
1639.5 Sherwood x 2
1724 Schmit x 2
1774.5 Carter

Ps I think it was the ammonium sulfate which did not burn and worked well for the blotchy leaves and the calcium nitrate was what burned the leaves.
