Ok so the grower down the road won't tell you how to breed or you have no idea what seed to cross with what seed to get what you want. Well because of the seed lines out there crossed all over the place it is hard to find the right seed. So let's start fresh or seeds we can work with.

We may need up to 3, 4 or more seasons before we see results but when we do they will be consistent to a high degree.

Before we begin, First figure out what you want as your out come, big weights, dark orange, greenie's etc. pic only one. Now go find the best seed you can for this not physically just to know and we'll worry about the seeds later.

Look for info ask other growers etc. If it is a greenie you want you may want to start with the 895.5 Hester.

I'll post tommorow with the first class...

The Line-breeding will be put into primers and will include

Primer 1) Introduction to Line-Breeding and terminology
Primer 2) Selecting Seed to use
Primer 3) Line-Breeding and types
Primer 4) Outcrossing & Hybrid Vigor
Primer 5) Other Factors

I will post here when a new primer is posted for you to read. However I was reminded today of other commitments
in the near future by my other half so they will not begin till after the WCPGA seed raffle ends by then I will have that out of the way and my other obligations.
