How stable are their strains? IOW, from a packet of 10 seeds, how many will be the actual advertised phenotype?
Is it possible to find the better seed houses in this sense?
Just to say, I didn't use "Septoria" to show off; I did because that's what it was called when I ID'd it - and in lotsa other articles.
but now I find that I got hit by Bud Rot / Gray Mold / Botrytis. Lost a good 2/3 of the plant (so far; harvesting & drying now)
I fogot to mention: Potassium (NOT Sodium) Bicarbonate (eg: GreenCure) works quite well against this. It doesn't get rid of it entirely, but it does set it back every time you hit it. You have to do it farly frequently - maybe once a week or so, but it may save your crop. OTOH, it's a lot of...
good to hear that!
I'll check that out; tnx.
I'll check that out, too; tnx.
would certainly have, no?
good stuff!
no; that's a good thought. sad, but good. I guess I'll never find it again, anyway.
Now I'm going to go looking for a thread on Septoria. My nice big outdoor NL fem...
Wow! What I'm hearing is that you can't be sure what you're buying from a seedbank. I may never find that great Northern Light that I got the first time. Sad. I mean, it could be the case that none of the seeds in a pkg is what the advertisement says they're supposed to be. Now I don't know...
I don't understand why you're talking about clones in this context.
My understanding is that a clone will always (must) have the ssme phenotype as its mother - if we restrict phenotype to mean the genetic make-up (as opposed to culture-dependent differences).
(It's only with seeds that...
