i agree with you s2b
alot of the strains on the strain guide give infomation you find on basicly every seedbank...

back in the day on OG, ya had to have a minimum of grow reports and then submit your work.
i agree just postin up your homemade work is not a strain.

I agree who needz alist of unsaid...hesaid....MYshit dont stink......self underinflated .....not real grow report......it'z becoming a list of bagweed.....seedbreed'in.....
wannabe breedserz........just clogg'in UP the needed info and reportz........

Gotta agree with you bro... However, if you have made some further work with your homemade strain, or released/shared it to public it could qualify
But I wanna see pics in these + some growing conditions that made those plants in the pics
Btw cbf.. I think you have made such "career" and many ppl have sampled your wares that it´s time for you to go and make some reviews :wink:
There's a whole set of rules, just click on the Help Button.
Many strain submissions are not making the grade and aren't being included. About 30% are being rejected as not having enough info.
In the Help section of the strainguide it now states that only commercially available strains can be submitted. No private strains allowed. What's the point of posting a strain no one can ever get except you?
Yes, images would be nice, but they aren't essential in the strain guide. They are far more important in the grow reports to provide visual proof that you actually grew the strain and the results were as you said.
And I remind everyone that a grow report gets submitted under grow reports, not strains.
If you haven't grown it out yet, you can't publish ANYTHING in the strain guide until you have.
One more thing: If the breeder of the strain isn't recognized as one in our Breeder Directory, it won't appear on the IC Strainguide homepage. So if you are new breeder, you should discuss with Gypsy getting your strains listed on Seedboo or Seedbay, then we can add you to our official breeder's list.
Yet another thing: I remind you all that you can RATE the STRAINS in the strainguide. We are accepting ratings from breeders, growers and smokers!

I've been thinking this over...
I would like to include private strains if they include complete info and pix.
The reason for that is even if no one else can get the same genetics, it could encourage others to make the same cross, if the results were favorable.
Does that make sense? Would breeders want to know what others are breeding & the results for their own research?

I'm a little worried about naming the f2's of every hybrid cross.
It could work out, since tracking down the strain names to individual breeders and clones or areas will be easier.
On the other hand it is gonna make for one great search!
Keep them engines revving!
A preliminary name is o.k., but i thought strains became strains with names once they became true-breeding for specific traits, which identify them.
Usually, that doesn't happen till these traits have been bred for through three or more generations of progeny.
Some hybrids require less work, others must be bred for at least five generations.
In this I see our fallacy!
Sometimes I am not sure whether we are diversifying our gene pool, or making a hodge podge soup!
I think researching and identifying data relevant to the strains, with the addition of presumably factual information should be supported fully!
More reading and posting of knowledge, less banter!
NAcc is all for this
