I’ll be preserving Bodhi’s Neirika seed trust China Yunnan Dali Cangshan Mountain sativa. (I guess this would just be east asian, not se). He describes it as having the push of a se asian and the euphoria of a himalayan.
Bodhi said it finishes outdoor in santa cruz, hopefully it will here in the PNW.
This will be my outdoor project, males and females will grow together, once the males sex they will be isolated in the garage (for the protection of the other ganja growers around me) and once the pollen drops, the males will go outside for one afternoon of thorough pollination before being chopped. This open pollination method has worked well for my outdoor projects, and helps prevent pollen contamination for the growers around me.
The freakers ball would be a slightly smaller distribution than with the co-op, so it’s a more practical commitment. Plus I expect more people here will actually grow and appreciate a unique and wild heirloom like this.
edit-
I usually move through 3-4 projects a year. I don’t always end up with enough to distribute, but with this level of membership it should be easy for me to do two per year through the freakers ball. (as long as membership numbers don’t go crazy).
Would I be able to send seeds in bulk to a volunteer freaker to handle the rest of the packaging and shipping? I’m disabled so that would make seed donations much easier for me.
(not to mention that I am, shall we say, of limited financial means.)
