Can anyone point me in the direction of how to obtain two of these? Nics' email is set to private.

I don't do facebook, so I dunno, but you could perhaps try this tactic. Good Luck---eric g

I think there's only a handful of seeds that were any good from it. There's one up for auction on Sunday December 28 . It's probably the only one that will be available.very very rare seed.

Yes the seeds were poor quality
I planted a couple hundred to get just a few plants
But I am working on upgrading the genetics this winter; if you are interested in seeds I am happy to share

I'd try a few. They definitely go heavy. My email is on my diary page.

The genetics of the 123 (est) are really good. Lots of effort behind it.

The 123est definitely throws heavy. My email is [email protected] Nic give me a email. I'm growing Quinn's squash this year along with Arts.

probably not looking in the right places. What are the genetics of the 123 (EST)?

123 est was grown in Florida winter '24-25 pollinated early Feb, harvested mid March after rats started getting it. Cross as noted from the breeding project was 400 Kisamore '24 #3 x 584 Kisamore '24 #2. The 400 is (2493.5 Wolfx1109Jutras)xself)
584 is (2195 Kisamorex2020Tobek)xself)
The 400#3 was green and the 584#2 was also green. The other critical seeds from the project were my 177 (868 Kisamorexself) and 166 (868 Kisamore x 400#3). I grew 150 plants from the various descendants summer 2025. Had some green 177 and some green 166 but failed to get a quality self pollination. 177 #12 was one of the green ones. Knowing the incredible growth rate the 2365 pollinator of the 868, and the incredibly thick walls of the 400, and great big old school giant squash stem of the 584, it is just a matter of growing out the populations and selecting to get a real monster. I really like the potential of my 646.5 but I have a good mix of squashy stuff and a clone from Andy's 2020 Paton growing right now. I have a green one going from Art's 1406, and I have a 1611 with a female to open in a few days. So by mid march maybe more cool seeds to bring back for summer 2026
