How is this done? Since the flowers aren't distinctly male/female, how do you pollinate them by hand?
The only reason it took so long to get to 10 pounds, is the lack of genetic interbreeding. I believe it is the next step to producing a consistent and large seed. If you could mix Domingo, and big Zac, and get these hybrid vigour plants, I think that they will grow better bigger fruits.
I think that some people have done this, but I want to learn to do it, and grow my own interesting crosses, to get bigger results, personally.
Any help is appreciated thanks for the help!
