Why bother with seeds when I got a least a couple dozen strikes from flower stalk cuttings last year. I let them flower but got no seeds so I took the stalks for cuttings. The nice thick flower stalks stay green long enough to yield plenty of strikes.
David Connor reports many of F2 generation plants appear to hold the characteristics.
Warren, I dont need anymore mate... LOL, this clone is a brute. I just planned on giving the seed away... I owe Cindy some seed, so these would be good for her students

Yes, they are quite vigorous. Mine did not fare well over the winter. Between mealybug and mite attacks and media that should have been changed the year before a couple of the korms shrank down to a quarter of the size of when I planted them 3 years ago but they've bounced back already.
I should add the couple dozen strikes were from only two stalks that I saved.
I generally allow a few of my B52s to bloom and crossed some a few years back with "Slack's Giant" and others (at a different locale) with other's of the same cultivar. Both groups are robust little plants for the time being and show every sign of having the same characteristics as the "parents" . . .
Those look great. Do you have any photos of the pot with the flowers open. Did you mix anything into your soil or is it just peat. Either way that is a very nice looking pot of VFT.
basic peat/sand mix... and in the first pic some of the flowers are open. It was taken just prior to the post yesterday... so check back in a few days and Ill post an update for ya
