I’ll have to check the seed fridge but I can prob throw a few packs your way.
…(Most likely some of my Mac Stomper crosses.)

[DougDawson]

That would be awesome bud. Much appreciated. Let me know. Those Mac Stomper crosses should make some OG’ers very happy.

I don’t understand the whole Sebring thing. Maybe I’m too new here, maybe it’s cause I’m canadian or maybe it’s cause I have never been able to or understand how to get anything from his site. I have lots of extra seed, probally a few thousand auto fems I made years back that I still use and a few hundred reguler, How does me giving it to Sebring fund the server? I’m genuinely asking, or I should be selling them and donating to the server. Kind of confused here. I just thought the whole point was making seeds and giving them in the hands of a lot of people.

Genuinely curious of the steps here.

He handles shipping of co-op boxes for members in the US. When you pay for the co-op box with the strains you’ve signed up for there’s a shipping cost + $2.00 per strain.

From what I understand anything over $155.00 from the co-op boxes goes to OG server costs. At least that’s how I interpreted what I read in this thread.

About the Seed Runs Co-op Read before you participate

Seed Runs Co-op is collective effort to preserve some rare cannabis strains and keep them available to our members. It is community-driven and non-commercial activity of breeders, seed producers, testers and all growers of Overgrow. You need to be at least Member (trust level 2) to post in this category and participate in seed runs. How Seed Runs Co-op work here on Overgrow? The preservation runs will be accessible to level 2+ members - In each journal, we’ll have 2 numbered lists…1 for level …

I guess maybe those seeds would be an incentive for more people to buy into the co-op boxes.

I agree, if I’m doing runs ill probably give away a % here and send the rest to Sebring for seed boxes

[Chronickyle]

I’m already doing a blue velvet seed coop that will go to them and my afghans I will be having a sign up for once I finish and get a count. Hope to have 150 person sign up for that one as well. Just don’t see why I would send these as well. Especially since there is no journal and I made them a number of years ago.

Edit and if I send them in now they wouldn’t even be in anyone’s hands till the fall box.

[DougDawson]

There is no debating we should support the server, can’t argue that, but there is nothing wrong with supporting the users as well. It’s fun, it gets seed out around the world. One thing does not have to affect the other.

[anon93244739]

I very much agree, like if I have an oopsie, I’ll share it, if its on purpose thats different lol

[Chronickyle]

It’s fun for me to give people seeds. Hell I don’t need 1000 am 2 X royal creamatic. But I hate packaging seeds, by giving a bunch to some one else. Everyones happy and everyone gets their fix in between boxes.

[ChronicMcBudz]

He also does occasional drops where people can get a couple packs of seeds for shipping costs. He limits packs to two for standard and three for OG members to be able to spread them around more. That’s what most of those strains listed on his site are. He does a bunch himself then others donate stuff in too. He handles all distro and everything for the donated strains.

Oh yeah, I’m actually signed up for the blue velvet. Looking forward to it. Yeah I was more so just answering the question as to why someone would send seeds his way to the best of my knowledge. Not arguing a case as to why you should specifically.

I personally think the best way to overgrow is what people are already doing. Contributing to co-ops as well as giving things away, and trading amongst each other. It’s what makes this website so unique and fun to be a part of.

[DougDawson]

I agree completely. I have been having a blast doing giveaways. People get excited, it’s good fun. I have also canceled my bud run to do a seed run for OG as well as looking to set up an auction to help the server. It’s about supporting this great place but also the people, the interactions, the fun. There is room for all. I am signed up for all but one strain on the spring box and I think all of them for the one coming up. There is enough love to go around.

[Chronickyle]

Sorry man I didnt mean to come off that way and totally agree.

[kushdaddy]

Haha no worries buddy.

[GrowingInThePines]

@Chronickyle

That’s awesome man. I’ll send a couple hundred auto fems your way, free, Just hit me up with your info again

What awesome guys You and Doug are.

[HappyTrees23s]

I was actually hoping to do something similar in the near future.
I didnt know about how the seedruns supported, but I understand now. I was thinking of just having some random giveaways to give back, but I think when I have something in the future I will just send to Sebring and you @DougDawson
I can also help with shipping if you want. I would love to help out someway before I have some beans to share with everyone.
This community has been extremely kind to me. I lost everything I owned and many of you have stepped up to help me even thou I was and or still am still new here.
I am so greatful to you all for your support and knowledge.
Doug let me know what I can do to help.

[DougDawson]

Hey Bud, appreciate the kind words

[DougDawson]

So with plans for another auction and so many giveaways happening almost daily I thought I would bump this thread as I am always looking for stuff to spread around to all the great OGers.

[misterbee]

Same here, @DougDawson, I’m doing the same for a planned Sep Donation/Giveaway Fundraiser. This time, maybe 30 - 35 members, $7.50 Donation, multiple strains again, TEN seeds per Flip this time. ALL qualify!!! Members/Breeders wanting to get their spread around WITHOUT the added expense are solicited to donate. As is ever, all expenses are on me. ALL FUNDS GO TO @LemonadeJoe, NOT a bit of the monies come to me (it’s ALL about the Site!!!). I’m planning on at least one per Quarter. I don’t mind begging if it’s aids OG. In fact, anyone wishing to contribute seeds, but running short, I’ll kindly send funds to get them to me (Maine). ALL, enjoy the upcoming Holiday, SS/BW…mister NOTE: Heads up…@Sebring has already sent some of his current Inventory, so watch out!!! NOTE #2: 5 GHOST Crosses from “Mark” recently arrived also.
