Roth flask fever (mild temperature reading)

[ehanes7612]

After selling off the six crosses I acquired in 2009/2010..I said I would never grow roth again..I seem to have six new crosses now from Sam's breeding in the past two years...how did this happen?

Mind-meld!

You should probably build a new greenhouse outside for more space

 

[ehanes7612]

naw, I am waiting till I can start selling them to Eric for a hundred dollars a seedling...therefore, never needing much space at all

The Force is strong with Sam......................."these are the roth flasks you've been looking for"..............

you are in good company. I have 3 from Sam in the last month, but only 1 Roth. What crosses did you order?

 

[Justin]

my flasks are growing up now so I have been highly de-incentivized to buy new flasks!

also curious which crosses did u get.

 

[suzyquec]

Justin.

I keep looking at my compotes and wondering what am I going to do with all of these babies! I need to get de-incentivized.

You could hang a shelf from the ceiling for more space.

My first was New Horizon x Raptor..they are now reaching six inch LS. Look really healthy. I started these in single pots two years ago and they love it.

Last spring got the following

Giant Wings x Xhot
Giant Wings JR x X hot
both of these are growing in one compot each..the Junior version are stronger growers but the other is still fairly good

Last Fall got Tiger March x New Horizon..broke these up in clumps as they separated from the deflasking agar cleaning , three different compots. These were really slow to adjust but seem to be coming around now

Earlier this year acquired Giant Wings x Pyto (one compot)
and Giant Wings x Canadian Club (individual pots)...both have adjusted and are growing

Just got the Gold Dynasty x Giant WIngs that i won in the auction..not sure how I am going to pot these out..the agar will tell me

so I was wrong, I have seven crosses

Buying roth flasks satisfies my need to grow from deflasking but ensures I wont lose any money in my investment..actually make a little money. And if something happens that I cant grow them anymore they are pretty easy to sell...which may happen if I go to grad school in Hawaii..so if you want my seedlings send a letter to the astrophysics dept at UH saying that I would be a perfect fit

FYI I spoke with Sam for quite a while when purchasing my roths this past week and he told me there was a typo on the tag and listing its not Pyto it Pylo, I just corrected the t to an l on the tag.

okay, good to know

I could be wrong but i think i read that X Hot got upgraded to GM.

Pylo is Peter Lins adorable pomeranian. He names all his clones after pylo.

I'm envious Ed....I could have nothing but roths. Such an elegant, appealing flower.
