Proposal: OG Welcome Pack - Brainstorm with me

I am still excited by this idea but the JS (F3->IBL) project will be occupying my space, at least until summer '20.

I hope to get a volume of seeds both from this JS grow (Indica) and a CBD run which I will start when it seems reasonable. Those may feed a Welcome Pack project.

Feel free to carry the conversation forward or run with aspects that inspire you. I will chime in if it gets interesting.

I think this pretty much lost its drive. Apart from @AllOra who is busy with a different project, is there anyone thinking of actually doing a seed run for this (or hand out a stash they have)?

Donā€™t want to be pushy, donā€™t have anything to contribute myself. Just trying to get a picture.

This is perfect timing almost for me. Iā€™ve got some super silver yo mama f2s going, (current pics will be up tonight in the bodhi thread) but they have a very interesting smell to me, real loud, and the line is discontinued Iā€™m pretty sure. Theyā€™re finishing most likely by the new year and Iā€™ve got like 10 left, not to sure, but I would be more than happy to run them for seed.

They also underwent a lot of stress this run, ph issues, n deficiency, etc and have still produced buds with very nice terp profiles. Iā€™d say this could be beginners worthy. Oh, and it has ssh as the mom so thereā€™s some haze.

No. I donā€™t like the idea at all. Not that Iā€™m against giving seed away. Cos Iā€™m gonna be doing just that. But letā€™s not fuck about trying to make some system to send out seeds. Itā€™s been a case of if you wanna trade. Trade. If you want testers. Ask for testers. Why bounce seeds about the planet unnecessarily for someone to divvy them out or maybe not divvy them out and just sit on them.
We donā€™t need a system in place to take over an unwritten system that already works. We donā€™t need beurocracy here. Does no one any favours

Sounds to good for the n00bs. Itā€™s Bodhi, everybody will want it. lol

While I am not currently able to take up an additional seed run, I am still enthusiastic about the idea. There is no reason why this couldnā€™t begin as a distributed effort.
I have found that, with abundant seeds, the regular postage is trivial. An inch or two of seed-loaded irrigation tubing stopped with cotton goes into an envelope (maybe a sheet of bubble wrap) with a stamp on it. Send 20, if they donā€™t arrive, send more.

Until we are up and running it could be informal, ā€œsecretā€, and free. We could keep a list of willing ā€œwelcomersā€ and coordinate a welcome.

Still brainstorming. Several ideas here are pre-coffee.

Haha I probably shouldā€™ve read the rest of the ideas to see how weā€™ve gotten here. What are the prerequisites to do a co-op preservation run? Iā€™d be down to do one with the rest of these for the people who really wanna run them.

I think @MomOnTheRun and @Sebring are the driving forces behind the preservation runs.

I will be too to have a go of the other purple Badlands when the time comes. Be good to see some variations from original seed runs/my f2ā€™s and MOTRā€™s f2ā€™s.

If your interested in adding them to the preservation runs, pm either me or Sebring and weā€™ll get ya set up for it :wink:

:heart_eyes: Its a concerted effort for sure!

No need to watch your mailā€¦yet. Herijuana is on its way to me - once it gets here, the distributors will be the 1st to get their boxes with the rest going out probably just after Christmas :wink:

Exciting! I definitely wanna see! They will be in the April box :wink:

Canā€™t say Iā€™ll be able to drop them as soon as they land but Iā€™ll make sure to document the run when Iā€™m ready. As soon as these tangie kush x rainbow kush drop seed Iā€™ll be putting them in Coco for round 2. Only looking like Iā€™ll get about 50 seeds at the moment off the little lady :sweat_smile: thereā€™s a few people that are getting some of every Chuck including this one. After everyone involved is sorted Iā€™ll post up another giveaway for the rest of the spares

Iā€™m doing an auto grow with 2 Red Poison x Dark Devilsā€¦Iā€™m leaning towards hitting them with some Greenhouse Seeds Big Bang Auto femmed pollen. Would give a few hundred femmed ā€˜Big Red Devilā€™ seeds to the welcome packs. If it helps Overgrow, it helps us all!

Will do. Soon as these are done and Iā€™ve got the soil and such for the seed tent, I can get right on it.

Wouldnā€™t it also be good to do a couple different versions of the pack? OG Classics Presents: The Afghans! OGC Presents: The Thais!
Because a pack with any sativa dominant strains is wasted on someone such as myself. Sativas always exacerbate my mental issues, especially since I became brain damaged, and I can even hallucinate and go into a psychotic freakoutā€¦
Indicas on the other hand relieve me of my physical pain, and a great deal of my existential dread.
We wouldnā€™t wanna sell people seeds of existential dread!

Honestly, wouldnā€™t it be easier to recommend a strain or a direction and users just go and buy it at a seedbank in their area? $20ā€“30 should get them a 3pack or better to start with, or a few packs from Sebring plus shipping outside of the US.

I donā€™t see how OG is going to provide this, and on top is supposed to cater for everybodyā€™s special needs. An auto or photo pack here, an indica or sativa pack there, Not saying it shouldnā€™t happen if there are people volunteering, but to me it seems like there are not a lot really.

I just took a bong rip and had an idea, thatā€™s all
