And that's a good plan for sure, Craig. I decided to try Dwarf Champion simply because that's what was used to help create NBD which people seem to like alot. And I figured if I used Dwarf Champion I'd end up with a different flavor probably than if I used NBD. Plus, I remember a person or two posting that NBD was a larger plant for them. Something like 6 or 8 feet tall. I'd like to try creating something I can grow indoors a little more easily. Much like the project dwarf plants I have growing now inside. They are doing great in small containers.
Chances are though I'll have problems crossing varieties considering it'll be my first attempt. I'll have to make sure I re-read Patrina's instructions on how to cross before giving it a try.
It'll be fun trying at any rate.
