here is the 846 jutras to the left and an 885 to the right. this is the only greenhouse now that still has 2 plants. the 846 is at about a 1' main that is very blocky and stout. the 885 in this greenhouse is my most aggressive of all my may 1st sprouts. it is already laid down and its main is almost 2' tonight and looking like its getting ready to run. very thick main vine already. everything in my heart says keep this 885 too, but the color the 846 jutras produces has my mind bent. i do like the thought of sibbing one of my own 885s and selfing the other. then again, i like the thought of adding the 846 to the 885.
i know a friend has another 846 to try next year if i decided to snip it this year. i will just wait and see and make this decision when the 846 also lays down securely.
the culling process can be brutal on the brain, but seeing the case of the split 735 stem, there is no doubt that same-age-back-up-plants that are planted side by side are essential for increasing your odds.
