Not if it's hybrid vigor.


So the hybrids have the capability of out performing the parents, where ultimate size potential is concerned? I'm all about hybrid vigor, but was under the impression it did not allow for greater growth than could be achieved by the "pure" parental strain?

whoa...looks like Bill beat me to it...

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
