I have a very similar situation. Years of chucking, more than a shoebox full. I will never have time to grow them all. Might as well share.

That's a crazy ton of seeds, led05!
I love how they're not just little tubes of a dozen beans, but full bags like you're buying hemp seeds at the health store!
You need to start a FundMe to buy yourself a big old farm, haha.
Do some broad sowing out there in the great outdoors.

Yeah mete, it’s probably time.
Although probably not times to stop making the awesome seeds you do. Just maybe a step back and appreciate the work that you’ve done.
I’m not making more than I can use myself ,or share, any more.
Life and family are more important.
Heartfelt message.

She is getting ripe. Trichomes are swelling and i cut a test branch yesterday.
Early testing was good but imo not the thai high i was hoping for(yet?).

I would be interested in your Laos creations, or anything SEA for that matter. Wondering if you will offer them by donation or purchase?
Can your seeds make it to Canada?
10 millions seeds is a good start to repopulate the cannabis Geno with some great weed and get rid of the hype BS. Specially if you started in the 90s

@led05 I would love to run/see a cluster analysis on your seed collection And view the group long relationships of the strains you have used over time
Edit: Off the top of your head what Are the top 5 biggest genetic inputs into your collection And the % these strains make up (roughly) of your collection ?

I’ve gifted seed successfully to every continent but one; hundreds of sends 99% success rate, the biggest problem sending to Canada is it’s like your post still uses horses - hahaI would be interested in your Laos creations, or anything SEA for that matter.

lot of time & money spent on my end sharing seeds @, trying to pay it forwards…
It’s hard to say, I’ve popped, seeded & grown thousands of plants just the past decade, but logically you’d just focus on the males to find out what makes up a big %, but even then nothing represents more than 5% on its own I recon, it’s all very diverse. I can say that it’s 90% + NLD very dominant though…
I need to build some lists, get my shit together & figure out best way to spread this shit @ before it’s too late as has happened so many times before.
Thanks for the interest !

Sounds like you have a plan starting.
Also sounds like a huge job.
Maybe you could ask for some volunteers on the forums to help with distribution and possibly raising some money for shipping, packaging etc.
Auctions on seedbay could fund the expenses so as not to burden yourself financially to much. Also donations/contributions from interested recipients is only fair imo.
Good on ya led05 what you are planning to do is very noble and could creat some amazing ripple effects into the future gene pool .
The hoarding mentality is what could ruin cannabis forever. Distributed networks are always much stronger than centralized ones.

Sorry if I was ambiguous… it’s more like I need to continue cataloging the inventory, figuring out what I want to make available, building a website, figuring out payments systems, laws, taxation bla bla & then selling them direct, IF - I do I’ll likely just pay to be a vendor here & then do only direct sales, all direct no middlemen - no seed banks.
I’ve sent many thousands of seeds already as gifts over the years, time, materials, postage etc all on me, and I’ve been happy to do it, people have been very generous towards me so I’ve paid it forwards…
I’ve even donated a couple thousand seeds for the greater good of another forum only to later find out the guy running the seed site was mostly pocketing the sales - fun stuff!
But lots of this stuff I’ve created, built upon, spent years to clean up & bulk the lines, improve upon them (or make worse ha), my sweat & art so it’s time to recoup some of those efforts…
Perhaps I’m just having delusions of grandeur but I have successfully built & sold a couple companies before; definitely never in the seedy seed space though… That would be a primary goal, full transparency about the seeds as best I can, no tall tales and I’m even toying with a full guarantee just like seed sellers of say most herbs, veggies & such…
We’ll see, whom knows….
PS: what is the most preferred method of payment for most y’all, since we’re on the subject?

Your intentions are much clearer now.
Go for it man. I’ve watched your grows And would be keen to buy some to try out.
But bro get your pricing right this €150 euro for 10pack Haze seeds, bred in a basement and a couple gorilla patches nonsense, I’ve seen recently Is a flop.
Payment preferences (I’m not in your country and it’s illegal here) PayPal, crypto, credit card to a different company eg clothing store.
Transparency is key. Quote your sources of the genetic(providence) Inputs. If you don’t know say so. Have it all tested in and out door. If not say so. Don’t guess. These are things I look for in seed sellers.
I know man… don’t even get me started on our post office… they went on strike and have f@cked soooo many things up right now.
Hopefully one day we can have a decent service so seeds are worth shipping here.( they have crushed several packs.!)

never had them crushed to Canada, but it does seem this time of year your post strikes with consistency
Things will probably be $4-$8 range for each seed, minimum order of $100 or something like that.... The intent is to get the seed out for a reasonable price, no fancy packaging, no long winded stories, none of that - just seed that sprouts, has good vigor and is close to what I say it is....
I think masking what is being paid for is not too difficult, I have to look into it further.
I recall sending Intl money orders and then waiting months, trying to calculate exact amount to the penny (like it even mattered) to cover all shipping costs and exchange rates - hahaha, the good ol days
Thanks for your thoughts guys, I appreciate it..... I also want to note a couple people even sent me a PM asking to donate for the cause, perhaps I haven't realized in the past how special this place is.... !
Peace & Love
