    Now that sounds much more plausible then the timing of pollination to me and it's something we see with fruit trees as well where thinning out the fruit is a common practice to ensure the remaining fruits grow larger.

    Although it is in conflict with some bud a friend recently gave me that was absolutely loaded with huge seeds. I'll have to ask him what exactly went down in his garden.
    The mystery continues...

    So that would be like a twin babies are often smaller than single babies, but still bigger than triplets? Kinda makes sense.

    What I have noticed is that the "tiger stripes" can come off. Turns out they are like a water slide decal, formed from some membrane from the inside of the calyx.

    Color and striping varies per strain as well.
    My SCBxDinamed cross for example were so pale and lacking striping that I doubt they were even viable and one of the other SCB crosses made at the same time had very dark seeds with loads of pattern going on (cant recall if it was the Northern Lights or the Cream&Cheese).
