Time for an update.

After the disaster of the dog destroying my paton 1188 my backup 1002 was doing nicely and I had high hopes this was going to kick on and be a great plant..

Unfortunately I checked the plant one morning to see that the cots had turned a yellow whitish color as had two of the established leaves (only a few weeks old)

I came to the conclusion that I either burnt the leaves with tomato rite or poisoned it with the parafin heater as it was enclosed with no ventilation : 0(
I let it carry on for a liitle while longer to see if it would recover.
The plant itself did not die but seemed to be stunted and never bloomed, so the decision was to cull it.....

After sending an SOS for some more seeds which were orignally for my friend and a purchase on P&P we are back up and running (thanks to Tango(Phil) for the seeds

The picture below is of 562 Christenson '06 which is a 1101 Northrop x 1233 Reiss.

I am now a month behind where I wanted to be be this season but only 3 days from last year..
