1060 Holub ’15 Planting Instructions–
Only an average of 1 in 4 of these seeds will throw green. To get a green one:
1) Germinate ALL (6-10) of the seeds as you normally would (i.e. indoors).
2) Pot them all individually.
3) When it's time, plant all the seedlings spaced out in a competition size patch where you would normally plant one plant.
4) Give them all top care through early-mid June, when first females start to show.
5) Pull up and discard yellow- or striped-yellow-fruited plants. (You might keep your strongest yellow-baby'd plant until you're sure you have a greenie.)
6) Keep plants with green-fruited females for a bit longer to make sure they have viable-looking males and females.
7) Then select down to one (only one!) good looking green-fruited keeper plant per patch.
8) Continue top quality care as you would a normal competition plant/fruit.
Good Luck!
