I know you know the colour I mean and even with a cross they could still turn out that colour which is fine but a different colour will show the cross for sure in the F1. so happy with how they are looking! Great work partner!

Why thank you, it makes me feel good to see you so happy!i really did want you to feel comfortable choosing me for this.
I think your cross took, here's why. It is RL, but the foliage is thicker and more substance than AG, and there is absolutely none of that funky SunGold-y smell to the foliage. Way less suckering too. Thicker stems, more compact growth habit( so far !)
