Good luck with that Jordan. I'm sure someone will send you either an 898 or 1068 so you can cross with your 45 lber from 2006!! Wow....

Jordan, save all your money, get a loan buy a 1068 for $800 and grow it only,baby it, self it and you will be set.It would reward you more than growing 12 plants will ever.Maybe

Jordan, you and I along with most of the folks on here probably wont ever get to grow either of those seeds. But there are people who do get to grow them and either sibb or self them. If I were you those would be what I am looking for.

Also there are several remakes of both the 1068 and 898, just do a little searching and you could probably get several very nice seeds.

Don't worry about it Jorden. A person can only ask and you never know. There might be someone out there that can help you. I would think about Mikkal's advice. Look for a selfed or sibbed. From personal experience, you don't need the best seeds to do well. Growing is probably (and others might disagree) 30 - 40% seed and 60 - 70% enviroment. Just work at it and you'll do fine.

Sorry to hijack your post Jordan but I am looking for $700. Does anyone have $700 they would be willing to trade me? I have nothing to give in return and will likely burn the money upon arrival but really please give me $700.

Another option Jordan.
Jerry Rose crossed the 1068 with the 723, and reverse. A cross between the two top weight producers of all time, I believe. Great genetics in those seeds! The cross was done this year. Hopefully he had a good seed count.

Fred you are a real humanitarian !!!!!!!!

There are other 845 Bobier x 898 Knauss that might do just as well as the 1068. Like Dick says, you got to get enough growers to plant one seed to see where it may go....

Like I mentioned in another post ...I think the 961 Wallace (03) is the same as the 1068.

I not sure what everyone has against Jordan, but I assume he has made some off the wall comment and offended one or several growers here on BP. We all know the 1068 is next to impossible to get, so why do we have to beat down Jordan even more with comments that are negative towards him. It doesn't hurt to ask and when I saw his original post, I had a good chuckle but refrained from posting. If we all did this I think the off season stuff would decrease dramatically. By posting negative comments are we not doing the same thing that Jordan did in the first place. Just my two cents, I'm not defending anyone because I don't know the entire history behind the negative attitude towards Jordan and I don't want to know.

I agree with what Drew has said. In 2001 when I started out I got the same treatment as what I see happening here with Jordan. Now after getting to know many heavy hitters, I have a lot of there proven seeds and I have grown. Everyone needs a start somewhere....

Hey Jordan !
I don't have a 1068 But i grew it this year and crossed it with the 1229 holland both did well i had a problem with squirrels and they eat the stumps on both and the main right after the pumpkins but they both produced pumpkins 1068 x 1229 = 892lb and 1229 x 1068 = 799lb i will be glad to send you one of each seeds if you will plant them.

Awesome Jordan, shoot for the hottest genetics everytime and you will be the King by the time your my age (40 something, but I hope it dont take you that long). I like your tenacity! Still ya gotta have a pretty premo patch to get one over 1-K and if your buisy only grow one or two with all your best efforts. Mahola
