I’m no breeder, and like many millions of other people around the country, I’m currently unemployed due to the pandemic. As such, with the seeds I’ve produced for the Overgrow coop, it’s important that I provide a lot of seeds for almost no cost. Here’s how I’ve done it:
I’ve packaged my seeds in 0.5ml centrifuge tubes and put those in 2" x 3" heat-sealed mylar bags (thanks to @SCJedi for the suggestions). Instead of wasting time counting, I make enough seeds so that each tube is filled full and holds between 20-26 seeds, depending on the variety. No reason to skimp on F2 since they’ll have such wide variation (I hate it when people skimp). Bigger seeds = fewer per tube, but size doesn’t mean shit.
Anyway, on that mylar bag is a 1" x 2-5/8" label printed on my laser printer. Nothing fancy because it’s what’s inside that counts - I’m not trying to impress anyone, just provide an accurate label.
Total cost of packaging for each is around $0.50. Despite being perpetually broke, I never want to receive any money in return for cannabis. I consider all of this a donation in service to the community that has given me so much. For the future, I’m researching biodegradable packaging, since all these little plastic things slowly poison our planet.
This is how things will be sent to Sebring. If I send any direct to people after the co-op seed run is over, I’ll use an alternative method in first class letter mail, rather than shipping each one as an expensive shipment. That method is pretty cheap as well, and very reliable, but less fancy.
