Lalambchop1 said:Dan Hansen - lots of things that can't be repeated in polite company, LOL, but one of the things he hit me over the head with time and again is to use the best plants you can. "We're not just making seed here." Also, a few long crosses are better than several short ones.
David Kirchhoff - Know what you're breeding for. The tighter your goals, the more likely you are to get acheive them.
Mort Morss - cross for what YOU like instead of following the crowd.
Frank Smith - a purple will "clean up" a white better than a cream will.
Dan Trimmer - if you're having trouble getting pods to set, do a self cross to get the plant "in the mood". Once it's set one pod it's more likely to set more.
