I am looking for a pollinator to the 1041.5 McKie. Can anyone help with the %Heavy of these new seeds that I have from the seed promo?

1350.5 Starr
1044 Starr

1347.5 Sherwood
1126 Sherwood
1107.5 Sherwood

1035 Handy
1050 Wilson
11.85.5 Bortner
1066.5 Jefferson

All of these seeds are 2007. Any help is appreciated

1350.5 Starr was 5.66 % heavy
1044 Starr was 8.56 % heavy

1347.5 Sherwood was 1.54 % heavy
1126 Sherwood was 11.23 % light
1107.5 Sherwood was 2.75 % light

1035 Handy was ?
1050 Wilson was ?
1185.5 Bortner was 1.03 % light
1066.5 Jefferson was ?

If it were me, I'd cross that 1350.5 Starr, good genetics, great cross, grower is a nice guy too! But hey, I may be a bit biased ;-)

Thanks Thad. That really helps. I want to cross it with something that was also heavy to the charts. I am also considering the 664 Liggett, 805 Pukos, 1470 Wallace and the crosses from Steve Daletas- all of which were heavy. I think you're right, the Starr 1350.5 is an attractive cross.
Thanks again.

Hands on, while I would never go so far as to 'pimp' my own seeds. Any of the Daletas seeds would be great, especially the 1032 if you have one. The 664 and 805 have been perennially great pumpkins too. The 1035 & 1050 Wilson were very heavy to chart as well as the 1066.5 Jefferson.
