The 861 Fredricks/George seeds are drying now and will be available to growers who want them. Not sure how many I will be able to send out to each grower, just depends on how many people write for seeds. And I will send them out all at once probably in October sometime. The cross is 950 boyton(845 self) X 731 stucker (801 sib). The 731 stucker I crossed with was trouble free and a huge aggressive plant that grew a new personal best for my friend Vince. Hoping the seeds pass on the heat tolerance, bu we'll see;) Please send a SASB to the following address.

Did you wash your seeds in a H2O2 or a bleach solution before drying? Has always worked for me to keep rot and fungus down.
Once, I was drying seeds out of an early cull that had started to rot inside. I just washed the seeds off with water and laid them out for drying. After a day or two I noticed fungus was developing on the seeds. I put them back into a bucket and quickly washed them off with H2O2 and put them back for drying. No more problems and later test germination showed a 100% germination rate.
