I got inspired by an article by s.o. propagating fruit trees. When he or she made crosses he/she would very carefully take notes of the young plants and compare it with the parental generation, thus eliminating a great deal. The idea behind this was that he/she could eliminate gentically undesirable plants at an early stage as it does take years for fruit trees till they produce fruit.

I don't know whether you have noticed, but a great deal of MGs differ in their first and second real leaf.

I will post a photo of what I mean in a minute, i.e. of ipomoea turbinata, if I am not mistaken...I am determined to catalogue every seedling this year, however, the permanent Chinese ink on my stickers proved not so permanent after all because we had a lot of rain.

I also noticed that let's say with a variegated nil, which you can see in the cotyledons already, leaf 1may be variegated or leaf 2 or vice a versa, or leaf 1 and 2 may be variegated. I just wondered if this indicates something about the flowers at that stage already???
