Was lucky enough to win a 1317 Clementz from EddieZ in a crazy seed auction. I most likely will not get a chance to grow this seed again so wondering what you experienced guys would cross with it. I am thinking of maybe using the 1779.5 Deletas ( 1495 Stelts x 1409.5 Miller) or 1684.5 Delaney ( 1495 Stelts x 1818.5 Bryson)if I cross it for big since I don't think either cross has been done. Second thought is to pollinate it with my 823 House ( 811 Gerhardt x 359 Foss) for orange. Third thought is to cross it with an old seed ( either the 1290 Poirier , 500 Northrup or 364 Webster). 1317, 1799.5,1684.5 and 823 are all germinated so I know I have them. Haven't tried the old ones yet. Thoughts anyone?

i say that you can't loose with your first 3 choices but i may like your 823 house if it has some red in it. i dont think i would use any of the older seeds unless one is almost red ! and the first two are the best if you just wont to stay big.since you have 3 large orange, try something a little different to all 3 and see what happens.good luck can't wait to see what you come up with this summer, great choices.

Yeah, The 1317 will see some dirt this year. the 359 is proven orange so your 823 seems a logical choice to me as well.
