Hey @coopactiongroup during a conversation here last night, it was brought up that f2’s generally do not qualify for co-op sponsored reproduction.
In an earlier version of the cooperative outline though, I’m fairly certain that reproduction of lines preserved by the Co-op is encouraged every couple of years or so:
Obviously every 2 years would place a huge strain on the system with an ever increasing load, but i feel that ongoing preservation was the original intention of the co-op. I think @Gpaw even utilized coop preservation seeds from 2020 to keep the OG’er going (correct me if I’m wrong brother).
So here’s the question: If the intention of the cooperative is to continue reproducing these genetics every few years, and if they come from reproductions where we can clearly document their provenance (most co-op runs do), and we obviously know reproduction was done via open pollination because it was done here in the forums, shouldn’t we allow OG preserved genetics to be approved for continued reproduction?
