You mean to run yourself a Co-op? Just to be a respected and trusted member, there are stories about people getting some seeds to preserve and then running out in the middle of the run, don’t know if that was what you were asking for …

Sorry about that. I would think all you need to qualify it as a co-op run is to reproduce a rare or discontinued strain not currently being sold. Create a grow thread with a wiki to share the seeds and that’s really about it. The freakers did set up some criteria a while back but that is not part of the co-ops, it’s really a separate entity.
Did you have some rare or discontinued seeds you were thinking of running for a co-op?

I had the same thoughts / concerns trying to determine if my seeds qualified. It would be helpful if this is articulated somewhere explicitly…maybe it is but I couldn’t find it either and people kept linking me the same threads I couldn’t find it in.

I was looking at what is required to make a seed run if we already had seeds. It seems only what is needed is to turn the first post into a wiki sign up at some point if a mod or admin approves of the seeds.
I was confusing/conflating Freakers open pollination qualification in my stoned state apparently. I can see where an open pollination would be preferred but where limits enforce other choice some allowances for circumstances… other runs exist. As an example the Hazeman G13hp88 passed around recently didn’t have a signup …he just sent them.
but I think maybe there is interest in the AO x CaliO too.

All I did was copy/edit somebody else’s page and post under Co-op seed section.
easy peasy…

and it is just as simple to start a new post signup on your own of course separate from the thread. Maybe easier an existing thread would need to be moved eh to the coop category.

No mod or admin permission necessary — it’s not a site run project, but purely community-based. You just have to be willing to stand by your decision. I would even go so far as to say if the breeder who originally released a line is fucking up, there’s no qualms with directly competing with them, if you’re being open and honest about your intentions.
Nobody has any rights over any genetics. It’s just a matter of giving credit where credit is due, and not stepping on toes unintentionally.

Yes sir, as @Gpaw said you can even copy and past one than make alterations so it’s fit’s your needs. Also no need for mod or admin approval. Just really about being respectful of the current breeder offerings.
Can’t argue with that. I have been offering up packs of those and people seem quite interested.
