Thanks for looking at our seeds. The 777 is getting old and can be tough to germ but has put out a few beauties. Actually our favorite seed is the 907 overall though.

If you ask John, he could probably send you a 1297 Young 2016, which was a real beauty.

777 x self resulted in my 1048, and has been the basis of Orange and Pretty genetic.

Are any of the Northrup seeds good for Orange? I have some and am thinning out my seeds.

A lot of the Northrups are good orange producers. I had a nice orange off the 904 a couple years ago. I think there were more orange Northrups than about any other grower when I started growing in 2013. There is a lot of orange genetics in Northrup seed.

They had big orange pumpkins back when most oranges were not that big.

12/24/2017 12:16:43 PM

1432 , 1803 , 500 pretty much anything from them.

The 500 I think is the grandmother of the 993 which gave us the 1059

When I get home I'll post a list of what I have, no need to hoard them if some of you may want to grow them

972 (2012), 972(different year?), 1257, 957, 1432, 1001, 1194, 1352, and 1251. Any of these good for orange?

12/24/2017 8:12:18 PM

1432 is for sure.
972 (2012) is 772 Poirier x 1421 Stelts so it should be.

here is a link that should give all the genetics for your seeds.

Yeah spudder I bought the lot for the 1389. I'm just not super keen on all the good orange seeds. Learning but not great at it

12/25/2017 10:56:47 PM

The genetics behind those were some of the most sought after orange genetics out there. 772 Poirier , 998 Pukos and the 1495 Stelts are behind some of the best orange out there and would still sell if offered at auction. The 998 Pukos was the pollinator of the 1385 Jutras which gave the 1725 which gave the 2009.
1432 Northrup(33rd largest in 2009) should be 998 Pukos x 1385 Jutras was orange and grew some nice looking orange.

840 is same lineage as 777. I grew the actual 1059 VMG and the 840 was even a darker red. I grew multiple little ones on the 840.
