Do you keep a log of your seeds in Excel?

[Ris]

I named my doc the exact same thing @_@ lol

[ColeLennon]

I only have 20 seeds so no

3 the blue wizard fems
3 Gorilla Dos Si Do fems
10 Cherry Festival @G-paS
4 Wedding Cake f4 fems @misterbee

I started mine with only the seeds i knew were on the way… didnt even have a seed and was already nerding out in excel

[Tlander]

I’ve got something similar, but I get carried away w/data! So I include a lot more columns, including; transplant dates/sizes, final gro-out pot size, checkmark boxes for fimming/topping/natural, date/number of clones taken, ‘tea applications’, top-dressing dates, results. Also I’ve been doing one for my soil mix recipes with cost breakdowns/results. I really should buy a tablet that I can carry around, getting old enough now that by the time I get back to the computer I always seem to have a couple questions!

[G-paS]

I absolutely do.

[Northern_Loki]

Yep, Excel.

Once you are on OverGrow, you have no choice otherwise it’s seed chaos.

[misterbee]

QUESTION!! Only 20 seeds in your Inventory??? If so, PM “personals”, we’ll see what we can do about that!! Photo/Reg or Auto/Reg/Fem, what’s your “seed(s) of choice”? SS/BW…mister

[Pigeonman]

Yup!

…AND I OCD THE OUT OF IT!

The relational element stuff would be cool.

You can do that in excel too, advanced programming and using pivot tables. Looks nice, but I keep it simple in one table. Pretty similar to those already posted.

I was OCD about tracking at one time, every nute, every watering, even the yield, per individual plant. Then I got lazy / in a routine. About the only regret I have currently is my current flowering girls, I don’t remember the flip date (but can guestimate it +/- 7 days).

Seeds? Ya gotta stay on top of them… They quickly multiply and get out of hand otherwise, especially when its 3 of this, 5 of that. a 10 pack here n there.

I keep a record in Calc (the Open Office FREE equivalent of MS Excel / Office)…

[ColeLennon]

So Kind!! There is beautiful spot for you in cannabis heaven @misterbee

[CornbreadJunior]

im stealing a few good ideas from this thread… this is how i was keeping them organized…

this is just for keeping track of my seed stash… i have another xls that tracks each plant i grow

[KanehB]

My “collection” isn’t really excel sheet worthy yet! These are all great ideas though.

I’m kinda being stingy with the beans I do have, compliments of some mighty fine members here.

Y’all know who you are too!

Lots of bag seed to go through and there is lots to be said for bag seed.
Especially the inherited kind.

[misterbee]

Nah, Queen 's gonna spread my “dust” as Top Dressing on some Mimosa, Wedding Cake, and some Blueberry plants!!! After drying/curing…“smoke me” if you will!! SS/BW…mister

This is where my ashes are going come the day. Mckenzie River, OR

Lots of bag seed to go through and there is lots to be said for bag seed.

The funny thing about bag seed. It often gets a bad rap because of the handling of the weed, NOT the quality of the weed (original just harvested quality, not packaged, transported, repackaged, transported, possibly run thru a seive / pollen collector, and finally packaged one more time for you to purchase.

Before I got on OG, WAY long ago when I wouldn’t think of buying seeds online / overseas, I had no choice but to grow bag seed. Usually from mids, but plenty of brick weed (cause that came with the most seeds, mids were a lucky find for 2-3 seeds). Yet the bud / plants I grew from that bag seed was always better than the bag of weed they were found in. I attributed that to the fact that they were handled gently, jarred and not bagged / compressed / tossed around. Less hands on them from origin to destination.

Bag seeds aren’t always bad… Lots of fire can be found in bag seed!

[FieldEffect]

I’m getting some great ideas from this thread! Here’s mine, going to add columns for mother/father, date acquired/produced and climate notes

Colored strains are currently running, grouped by Sativa/Sativa-Hybrid/Balanced/Indica-Hybrid/Indica. I wanted the full spectrum of effects to find what I like, so I picked one from each group to run this summer.

I keep track of dates on the running plants like this:

[sardinebags]

dude you rock. thats really nice

[Ris]

Well its safe to say im going to need a few more sheets in my workbook.

Thanks for all of the great ideas and for sharing you actual running book. I will be creating the rest of my list and ill start with this thread. When you flip is an awesome idea and for whatever reason i was never going to think of that.

Now who wants to create a template we can all use? hahaha

Bagseed gets a bad rap cause sometimes it’s the result of herming and so the progeny isn’t as stable.

[Nagel420]

I’m talking about way before we get to that stage. 15, 20 years ago people would be like “why you saving those seeds, thats shit”. Yeah, mexican brick weed, chances it wasn’t a herm and was just males in a field. Nobody even worried about a herm then. Seeds would grow out to nice non-herm plants, the bud was always better than the bud it came from just because of the lack of rough handling and not being compressed into bricks… That alone increased quality… But herms back then? Not as big a thing as today, and certainly higher chances of just open pollenation being it was mexican brick…
