@FieldEffect I used to be a big part of this thread called the “Seed Collectors Thread” over on this forum that’s no longer in existence… now totally defunct called “The Seed Depot” where me and a group of my forum buddies would chit chat about the latest drops, our acquisitions, and all the new packs coming out in general… there was nothing like it… was my favorite thread and I miss it dearly… so that’s why I made this one that you referenced. It just makes me feel a little bit reminiscent of all those old times.
I stopped buying seeds back sometime after 2013 and had some catastrophic health issues… brain surgery and suffered from some serious neurological issues for years but I’m mostly recovered and buying a new home soon… buying seeds again has definitely made me happy and building up my genetic Vault again is just a lot of fun. Huge pheno hunts in the near future await me. The 100+ Bodhi packs I picked up in the last year are going to be a hell of a lot of fun to dig through. Banana Spliff, Field Trip, Black Raspberry for instance are some of the ones I am looking forward to the most… as well as my A11g stash and the A11g crosses… but I’ve also got some oldies like Larry Lotus, Dream Lotus, Tranquil Elephantizer, Nibiru… stuff from Bodhi that I can possibly F2 at some point. Hell there’s a Blackberry Lotus keeper cut that I have going right now that I found in a 12+ year old pack of seeds that I just shared with a fellow overgrow member. I live for this stuff.
I’ve got old original packs from Pisces Genetics, old Alien crosses, original Sin City Blue Power F1s, TGA stuff that Subcool made with his own hands, old Brothers Grimm packs and preservation work by others like Joey Weed and Motarebel, I’ve got old seeds from Lemonhoko, and Jaws, Inkognyto, Elite Genetics, etc… stuff buried in my fridge that I can’t wait to break out… and no none of it is for trade.
So yeah… I’m a total addict and love this stuff. No need to be anonymous about it though. I think if my house was burning down I’d leave the family photo albums, my wallet, my keys, my wife if I had one… I’d be running to that fridge and doing whatever possible to save my seed collection from perishing.
