It’ll be cool to see how this one plays out! I’ve got more seeds than I can grow atm (also only joined late August, details) but it will be informative for the January edition!
Side note, were I to make a bunch of seeds to give away, I’d prefer not to have to ship them all out to different folks myself; is it common practice to give the bulk of the seeds for a giveaway to a trustee forum member to distribute? How would I go about that? Or do I just need to suck it up and stock up on stamps and thank you cards?
Most times folks here keep some for personal use and personal giveaways, but the bulk normally goes to @Sebring for inclusion to the fall or spring box that is shipped out to OGers.
In that case, I would recommend you send your BULK SEEDS to @Sebring. He’s the MAIN DISTRIBUTOR for North America. He does a SPRING and a FALL Box. He also distributes through his Site, diygreenlife.com Members (NOT YOU!!) pay a MODEST Shipping Fee. That’s what I recommend if you’d rather NOT chance the exposure. I do a Quarterly Giveaway, sending out varieties/strains purchased, traded, freebies received, and gifted/donated by other OGers. It’s all at my expense, better for me to donate that way. Seeds move, members participate, and some nice genetics go far 'n wide. Not many complaints, to date. Any that occur can really be dismissed with minimal guilt. With your current attitude, you’ll make a WONDERFUL addition to OG. Please don’t get discouraged, people here will assist you in unmeasurable ways. SS/BW…mister
