Hello everyone, I have been gone for a few years, but now I am back. I would like to get some seeds. I prefer to grow big and orange. I have done a little research, and these two seeds seem to be very good:
1059.6 Vincent/McGill 09 (993 V/M x 904 Stelts)
811 Gerhardt 11 (923 Gerhardt x 1332 Wolf)
Anybody know how I can get these. Are they for sale

Hey Wally
Welcome back!

Both of those seeds are very rare and in high demand. Our club sold a 1059 v/m for $130 this winter. I don't know of any place that has them for sale.

There are more current seeds with great genetics that are readily available. Shannon Engel has a website and sells some very nice Orange seeds for a reasonable price. Go here:

Here's another place to get some great Orange genetics for a reasonable price. And, there are seeds in here with some of the lineage you are looking for! That 1086 Veitch would be an excellent choice.

There are a few of us orange growers that have grown both of those seeds multiple times and have lots of crosses with them that I am sure you could get for free. My email is jkpayoung@hotmail.com if anything from my diaries look like something you would like to try including a 1059 selfed from 2014 which has also produced HD winners.

John Young and Norm Gansert both have some nice howard dill winning crosses from these seeds. Neither John Vincent or myself have any of these left in our personal stashes.

Do some research on pumpkinfanatic.com to find out what these grew. There are some great orange crosses out there based on these seeds.

John Vincent is selling some great orange crosses. Check them out here: http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Attachments/PECPG%20Seed%20sale%202016-17%20Revised.pdf

Wish me luck
