Have you guys considered that the free seed and clone thread represents the classic sociological concept of the tragedy of the commons?
āthe tragedy of the commons is a situation in which individual users, who have open access to a resource unhampered by shared social structures or formal rules that govern access and use, act independently according to their own self-interest and, contrary to the common good of all users, cause depletion of the resource through their uncoordinated action.ā
(thatās the closure of the thread)
āThere are some scholars that look only at the pollution that occurs in the digital environment itself. They argue that unrestricted use of digital resources can cause an overproduction of redundant data which causes noise and corrupts communication channels within the digital environment.ā
(that would be the rollitup style drama in the free seed free clone thread, which spills out into the rest of the site)
āOthers argue that the pollution caused by the overuse of digital resources also causes pollution in the physical environment.ā
(that would be the dissemination of bad genetics)
For example,
a while ago there was a huge giveaway of āstrainly markās $1 per seed autoflowersā and that caused medical patients who accepted the gift to waste up to 20 weeks on worthless genetically inferior plants which did not autoflower or flower under 12/12 photoperiod. They could have been pulling in multiple harvests of decent usable meds in that amount of time if they hadnāt been given garbage genetics.
Itās great to see people sharing freely, and I think everyone should have access to decent quality medical cannabis, for free.
But I think some people are getting greedy, some people just get swept up in the fun of giving away seeds and do so indiscriminately, and sometimes the people who could really benefit from free cannabis seeds sometimes end up receiving inferior genetics.
edit- Iām not trying to rain on anyoneās parade, Iām just saying I think we could make this parade into an even greater benefit to the community.

Sometimes you get what you pay for, conversely, the best things in life are free.

Random question maybe, but how do you all preserve your seeds and for how long? Iāve kind of just tossed mine in a dark bag in the fridge and itās worked for NOW, but I donāt think it would be a good idea to ever take those out ship them out it I wanted to share/trade so looking for a better, and more sustainable (for the longetivity of the seed) way. Thanks!

Keep your seeds dark cool and dry. People have had seeds sprout after a decade with proper storage
