There is question now about the het female used from the original test pairing...after no visuals from the different line cross, she was bred to her own ultramel line later and still produced no visuals.
Personally I think this is great news, there is enough confusion about different genetics already as it is...and our hobby unfortunately has it's share of less than honest people who would tell you whichever line you want to hear to make a sale.
I didn't realize he was doing this cross, a good friend of mine bred a pair of visual ultramel x criders this season to try to prove out the compatibility and get rid of the confusion surrounding it...looks like he'll have a whole clutch of visuals on the way for sure now!
