The interesting leaf shaped plant continues, the leaf shape isn't as unique as it was when it was young and I'd consider this more a dwarf (it is the tallest of my 10 plants). The leaf scent is unique--quite dank. The plant is flowering. We shall see what it brings, I'm intrigued. I'll get back to more proper micro dwarf hunting after I see what these guys bring! |

germination....and culling, I potted up about 36 plants in 4" pots. At least 1/3rd of those shot up above 15". I went ahead and potted up a half dozen of those and grew them out for early Spring toms. In 1 gallon grow bags. I placed them on a deck bench in a heap and just let them cascade. Lots of early fruit, them tossed them when I needed the real estate for a dwarf project hunt. This season I have I think I have 18 left that are under 8inches. ps, thanks for the Fuzzy seeds Dan. Starting a full 1010 tray today! pic is last Springs early May micro 'heap'. |

A related question Dan, have you gotten micro from F3 seed that was only a dwarf at F2 or only micros at the F2?

The potential for a micro is there in a significant percentage of the F2 dwarfs. A certain small percentage will not carry the potential, but a majority will. Even if there is just a single 'micro' gene, most of the F2s that don't manifest it will be heterozygous and still carry that gene which could express in the F3s and later. The more different genes there are that contribute to the 'smallness' the more likely it is that some or many of those 'smallness' genes will still be lurking in the F2 dwarf and come out in later generations. |

You can use any photo editing software such as Irfanview. Here's the link to the software and the youtube video showing you how to do it:
https://www.irfanview.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfTtb9V-uss SFT is Silvery Fir Tree, it has the carrot-life foliage that's been mentioned on T-ville in several threads. Even though it doesn't have the "cascading" foliage that Cole mentioned earlier, it's such a small plant that if you let it sprawl you get the same effect as a basket variety such as Tumbling Tom, etc..
