I was able to stop buying seeds once I had completely filled a small bamboo box with japanese wooden inlays. It was pretty easy to say “the box is full. I am done.”
Since then I only made one seed order, so I count that as somewhat successful.
I was also pretty careful with my shopping. After trump was elected, and he was saying that he would challenge existing state legalization laws and target the medical cannabis community, I wasn’t really sure how that would effect the legal systems or our ability to safely sell and distribute seeds.
So I built a diverse genetic library of everything in the indica to sativa spectrum, from modern hybrids to landraces to bay area classics.
Now I just need to pop and reproduce… many many lines.
Oh boy have I got my work cut out for me.
edit- It also helps if you have zero or negative cash flow. That’ll definitely keep you from spending money haha
