How Seed Runs Co-op work here on Overgrow?

The preservation runs will be accessible to level 2+ members - In each journal, we’ll have 2 numbered lists…1 for level 3 and 1 for level 2 members so in the event of a limited seed count level 3 members shall come 1st.

(Permissions and trust levels are explained here in detail)

Only 1 seed pack per strain per person. 150 numerical sign ups starting at the day of light flip…75 slots for level 3 members, 75 slots for level 2 members – 1st come 1st served depending upon your member status. If the breeders fall short of 750 seeds to fulfill the level 3 list the strain will be reran immediately with clones kept by the breeder. If a member didn’t get in on the 1st round, will have to wait until a repeat seed run is made or arrange a trade with someone

We will try to do a repeat strain seed run every other year ie Skunk 91 done in 2019 - repeat needed in 2021, 2023 etc

2 mail outs a year is what we aim for but it may change: breeders have strains sent to distributors by end of March and September for the 3rd week of April and October mailings starting fresh with the next box in the following year, provided there are strains available to ship at this time.

Due to the nature of growing Cannabis and life in general, things can get out of control and not complete in the scheduled time, in which case seeds will be held by the distributor, until either all the seeds have been received by them, or members decide to have multiple deliveries of seeds as the distributor gets them, contact your distributor to work out these details.

Sebring - G-paS temp can accept all seeds runs from breeders to package if needed from November to March and send to distributors for the April mailings… individual breeders will have to package and send out their strains to distributors from April to September for the October mailings

Each distributor receives a copy of the lists by end of March and September to know how much to collect from members in their area and give those members an opportunity to pass on a strain to go to a specific member, towards a periodic server fundraiser, member contribution award or contest

Each member makes a payment to their distributor using the following breakdown

All package prices are in USD and determined by your regional postage costs plus 2 dollars USD per seed strain to cover costs of packaging and mailing to distributors as needed with any excess balance over 155.00 going to OverGrow server costs.

Africa: MikeM; x for tracked and x for untracked + 2 per each strain
Aus: Johnnybsmokin; 13 for tracked and 5 for untracked + 2 per each strain
Canada: DougDawson ; 12 for tracked and 3 for untracked + 2 per each strain
Latin America: Vertebrata ; 10 for tracked and 6 for untracked + 2 per each strain
UK: Gaz29; 9 for tracked and 3 for untracked + 2 per each strain
EU: Swe-can after Brexit; 9 for tracked and 3 for untracked + 2 per each strain
US: Sebring; 8 for tracked and 5 for untracked + 2 per each strain
US: G-paS temp and apprentice to Sebring

The only exception is seed packs gifted to the community as most do not have a journal as well as, any private seed gifting/exchange, server fundraiser and contest seed packs submitted by end of March and September to save on additional postage

Each distributor will have audits done by Meesh in May and November – any funds over 155.00 is added to the server fund. This will go towards breeders packaging costs and shipping to distributors to use as needed …members are encouraged to donate these items so the 155.00 per distributor is a back up only as an extra assurance the community will receive these strains.
