Dont even mention the 1068 thats a no brainer.....but interested in the thoughts out there....is it Beachy? Bobier......845? 723? 1370? From A to Z.....If you had a state record in mind.....whats in your garden?

If $100 is your budget's cap, you might as well mark those 845, 723 and 1370 seeds off the list too.
Or maybe a better way to write it would be: Anyone with an 845, 723 or 1370 that would rather have $100, please email me.
The bottom line is, there are so many quality seeds out there supported by proven genetics, there is little reason to pay for one unless maybe a particular seed consistantly produces fruit which match your specific phenotype desires.
That being stated, my afore mentioned offer still stands, LOL.

Ah but one can get a 1097 for 75......thats a proven.....and the $100 just number perhaps it should be stated if you had a 845 and a 723,& 1370 everything but a 1068.....and only one 500sq' patch.....which seed would you pick and why.....looking for heavy only not purty....
But I agree with both Snake and Dan......just interested....and email too.....lol

I figure that a state record is probably worth 3,000 to 5,000 dollars prize money and/or carving/sale/blow'm up dollars---- so with that "1 free seed of grower's choice" I'd buy a 723Bobier....then I'd hire Jerry Rose or Larry Checkon as a consultant to bring in on home. If the 723 was too expensive I'd get an 805Pukos and similarly hire Dueck/Papez/ or Holland to consult. Since I already have a 763Biss I'd save the extra 100 dollars and hire Stan Pugh to help me bring it home (Doctors are more expensive than Gaming professionals,retired firemen, or State workers).There are many many seeds that will do it...but each seed has its nuances...thats what you have to conquer.

G, are you for hire?
I have a great seed(45grimes) but i cant seem to grow any pumpkin over 25lbs. small even for field pumpkins.
all i want is a state record and will split the
3,000 to 5,000. fifty-fifty.

I would take the $100, and split it as many ways as possible.....GVGO, SNGPG, the Pacific NW growers club,...etc. The best collection of seeds, come from the growers clubs...No tellin what will grow the biggies for low $'s next year...support each other...that is what this game/hobby/sport/competition/excitement/addiction is all about...all of us helpin each other!!!!!! Peace, Wayne
