Default Sungold Damping Off Update - F1 query


From the 23 seeds sown I have finished up with 15 healthy plants
(potted on to 3" post).

2 of the seeds didn't germinate : 4 had damping off.

This leaves two which germinated OK after the others but are just not
growing at all.

It is almost if they were not true F1s - the runts of the crop -
anyone ever had this?

As I said earlier I was very careful clean/disinfectanted trays and
posts - brand new potting compost - used Cheshunt Compound.

The two packets of seeds (average contents 10) cost 6 quid (Thomson
and Morgan - expensive) so not impressed with the success rate.

I will try Unwin's next year - any one have any experience comments on
their Sungold?
