Nope.. just had them in the mail a week or somewhat later.Are you folks getting an email from shantibabaseeds when orders ship?
The only question I have is how to make an IBL starting with a single plant is possible.Besides being excellent for breeding purposes becuase of the genotype stability from being an IBL, it isn't available normally so people jump at the opportunity to purchase. All pf the IBL's turn into a bit of a bidding war.
Shanti has stated how different growers can all start with the same exact batch of seeds, and after several generations of breeding each will take on its own unique qualities. It all comes down to selection.
I look at G13 in the same frame of mind as I do Haze. Regardless of whether Nevil had the "real haze" or "real G13he" is the breeder who put it on the map. When people first learned about and tried G13 or haze, it is nevils version people are familiar with. If I want the Hazes, widows, G13's ect, which first rocked the canna word, then I want the people who made it famous to begin with, enter Shantibaba with his and Nevils library of mums and pops.
My understanding is a donor plant would be needed. Shanti may have used his g13Skunk, which I believe was originally bred and stabilized to show off and preserve the original g13. Shanti being a skilled breeder and having worked with the original, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to backcross to his new g13. With the correct selection its genotype and especially phenotype would be almost entirely g13.The only question I have is how to make an IBL starting with a single plant is possible.
Back crossing several times is the only way I see...you will lose vigor but it will be probably restored when making real F1.
