How are everyone's crosses doing right now ?
any particular cross standing out ?

SLAMMER
MEGAZAC
MEGADOM

Im finding the my 2 megazac are the biggest plants and both have gaint ribbon vine mega blooms.

my megadoms fast growing plants one smaller ribbon vine megabloom and shorter plant but still very promising.

slammers like my big zac's slower and smaller plants but a smaller bulkier type megabloom ??? i saw that last year with my big zac's last year too !!! but its the finnal result that maters, slow and stedy !!!

Early in the season my plants got a bit tall due to the weather. This means my blossoms for big are higher up on the vine. Some of my fertilized big blossoms are doing well while others seem slow. I think the slow to grow ones did not get enough pollen or at least not as much as they might have been able to use. It is early in the season yet so we will see.

so far i have noticed that my Domingo and mega marv crosses are larger and faster growing plants than the big zac's and big zac crosses !!! but the big zacs have the history behind them !!!
