Roth Inquiry

[ehanes7612]

So, I am ordering some flasks from Sam next week, but also want to buy some roth (species) plants...any advice on particular crosses he has that really stand out

 

[AdamD]

When I ordered the Roth package from him (NBS, all Japanese) I got a killer assortment of great lineage he didn't have posted. Mostly awarded, one cross I wasn't too farmiliar with ended up being the cross the 'Gargantula' clone came out of. Point being, he's got a ton of great crosses too limited in number to list.

I have thought of that...a lot

AdamD, do you like the condition of the plants? Size is good?

I did, I'd say they were all 14"+ with 6 leaves or so

When I was in Australia last year, I just got the impression that the powers that be are doing everything to keep good stuff from entering your country. Maybe I am biased from having a friend there whose actual job is communicating to people about their employee rights. From his view , it's the lack of corporate competition that stifles trade.

I think the atticus crosses should produce good progeny too

yeah, I had all four atticus crosses sam did (in flask) but they didnt grow very well in my greenhouse and I sold them off really cheap to someone else...I wish I had grown them under my lights..I seemed to have figured out the magic formula now for growing roths, but still remains to be seen if I can bloom them under these conditions

 

[Ozpaph]

My 'Atticus' cross is slow, too.

Ed, dont get Brad started on importation into Oz - steam will come out of his ears!

 

[Justin]
