I've never had a Carbon, but from the pictures I would love to grow that one to taste. I also love the carbon copy name, it is perfect.
Keep us posted as to the outcome. Hoping for the best for you.

I just sowed 12 Carbon Copy seeds last night. It is really too early but couldnt wait. I will sow the remainder of my seeds the week after Christmas.I am going to use a homemade hotbed after they get true leaves. Last Spring I planted out on February 18th and had the best year ever. I will also have extra backups to replace any casualties along the way.
Best to all who are growing the Carbon Copy, I hope you all will be as impressed as I am. Ron |

Thanks RedBaron. I must have started on page two and it never clicked that there was a page one.
