  • Overview

    A well-maintained strain of this market staple. Longer than Nelson, with more white on the tip. Large healthy tops. After trying many strains we found this to be the best. NOTE: For longer, straighter roots, sow 15-20% more seeds per row 1/2 to 1 cm deeper, and do not irrigate unless absolutely necessary.

  • Planting
