I will be pollinating my last females on my 801.5 Stelts plants in the next few days.
So far I've done a 801.5 X self on the first 801.5 plant and a 801.5 X sibb on the second 801.5 plant. However, I plan to have two fruits on my second 801.5 plant. What cross should I do on the second fruit on the second 801.5 plant?

Possible choices are:

869.5 Calai
846 Jutras
670 Daigle
810 Dill
1016 Daletas
1101 Northrup
1125 Frantz
1076.5 Werner

PS: Whatever cross I will be doing on the second fruit on the second 801.5 plant, the reverse cross of the cross that you suggest has probably already been done as I pollinated all plants in the list with 801.5 males.

Wow is right!
I'd pick either the 869.5 or the 846.
I'm leaning towards the 869.5 though, to preseve more of the 801.5 genetics. The 869.5 can go quite heavy as well, and maybe will add a more rounded shape to the 801.5.
You've got some awesome orange going there!

keep your opinions coming.... much appreciated!
Other opinions still in time as the one I pollinated a few days ago doesn't seem to grow due to the cold spell we are going through right now and I will probably have to pollinate a new one as soon as summer is back.
