Leftwood said: Often I hear stories from breeders about how there was just one seedling that was very different from the rest in the same cross. And that one is way better than anything I grew.



I hear it quite a bit as well; Mak Breeding especially. Jan de Graaff, way back in the old days, must have suspected this phenomenon also, because once he was 'onto' something, he would carpet bomb 40 acres with seedlings, looking for that one standout.

I'm still waiting for that 'one outstanding'! Hilarious!
