1127 in the background with the 991 up front. I really started the 991 about 18 hours later but for the purposes of dates, I will say the were planted the same day.

The 1127 was supposed to be my main but an interesting thing occured. I put my plants under grow lights for the first week. at the end of the week, the 1127 was the most aggressive however it burned its first and second true leaf from the heat of the fluorescent lights. This made me think this is not a good genetic line for heat resistance. So I decide to make it my pollinator and put it in the pollinator position. This is the part of the patch that is not as amended. Further this part of the patch does not drain as well. For all I know, the 991 is the one I will go with. Let's see when the time comes in 4 weeks.
