(Sungold x Mikado White) x Lithium Sunset. Now at F2.
I can already hear Carolyn coming to tell me that Mikado White doesn't exist anymore. ![]() My original goal for this cross was a fruity, PL striped cherry. But I found the cherry size F1's uninspiring, so I went forward from this larger bicolor F1 -- ![]() Here's some of this year's F2's ![]() ![]() From top to bottom, left to right: FY 4-1, FY 4-2, FY 4-3, FY 4-4, FY 4-5, FY 4-6 FY 6-1, FY 6-2 ![]() ![]() ![]() FY 4-5. The winner for sure. Really cool striped bicolor. Nice and sweet. Could be more "fruity" - maybe at F3? I also liked FY 6-1 quite a bit - fruity, but lacked the ""wow" factor. I'll do a few. Some other seg's -- ![]() JL 5-1 ![]() ![]() JL 7-1 and 7-3. 7-3 was better, but it has the "big core" problem from Lithium Sunset, which I'm trying to breed away from. ![]() JL 7-2. Average taste ![]() JL 7-5. Like the stripes. Low production for me. I'll probably do a couple F3's to see what cones out, it has potential. ![]() JL 7-6. Average bicolor. |
