I am likewise happy to make seeds for people till the cows come home, getting my shit together to be doing all that packaging and mailing is my problem :laughing: Now IF I could just produce the seeds and send them in bulk to someone with far more patience and attention span that I have for packaging then Iā€™d be happy to dedicate 2 tents to it on a near full time basisā€¦ after all I gotta make my own beans anyway, might as well make enough to go aroundā€¦ It should be real obvious to anyone who participates to any level on OG that all it takes is to be friendly and to be part of the community and in no time people will be offering to send you free beans just because they have them spare.

Personally as I say I do reckon if it was feasible that the fiddly individual packaging was done by someone other than the breeder then it would go a long way to sharing the work and imho would probably mean that there would be more breeders willing and able to participate and/or dedicate grow space to the causeā€¦

@slain The preservation runs are set up with distributors In the way you describe. Check out the other preservation thread. The community could definetly use a few more breeders for preservation purposes.

Yeah, I can see that. Iā€™m on such a limited income atm, that growing alone is lucky to be taking place. Iā€™m more than happy to do the seeds as well, once I finish this new space. Very close.

Iā€™ll actually be doing a preservation of a discontinued strain a friend asked me to do next run. Iā€™ll ask him if he wants to donate the majority of seeds to the Co-Op as long as he gets a good many f2s for himself. Heā€™s not a member here atm, but I will ask him to join, too.

I only have 5 seeds and itā€™ll be an open pollination if all goes well. I wonā€™t say what until I ask what his feelings on the matter would be.

But, for now, Iā€™d have a tough time with all of the organization and shipping the seeds. peace

Cool well that sounds pretty bloody easy thenā€¦ now I am wondering why everyone isnā€™t making beans like there is no tomorrow :stuck_out_tongue: I am more than happy to be a breeder for either indoor and/or outdoor preservation runsā€¦

I think itā€™s up to the individual runnin the seeds.

I think it has always been there, restrictions exists but only for publishing and distribution, maybe itā€™s just visible to act as a :honey_pot: honey pot ā€¦ :sunglasses:

It was never privateā€¦ It has been and continues to be viewable by guests. Based on previous discussion in this topic only requirements for participation changed. They now include trust level Member or Regular.

I apologize. I could have sworn it was in the other section before.
My bad.
