Discontinued and rare strains are a great way to start. (Hint, hint )
They provide a popular, well tested, non controversial, set of genetics with known characteristics, from which to start.
We had exactly you in mind when we crafted this preservation project!
Our strategy for preserving strains required that:
they be in demand;
more or less in the āpublic domainā;
that they be available to ALL at no cost (full inclusion regardless of the perceived communal worth of the recipients);
and that they be would be preserved by a community of dedicated knowledgeable committed growers.
I think weāre smashing it out of the park!?!?
This strategy would assure the maximum distribution and preservation of these genetics.
It would require us to work as a community towards a goal greater than ourselves. Also, weād need to teach those less experienced and to rely on inspiring volunteers to make it all work. Where is it easier to accomplish that than here?
(Now youāre privy to what me and @Hoodini spent hours discussing!)
This project was started because we saw the talent, passion and commitment of the OG community! We believed in YOU!
