Is there a section on this website where people can swap seeds or for newcomers like me to look over a certain strain? People who like to offer seed should use this thread as kind of a classifieds page to showcase their varieties. Just a thought.

Herbie, at bottom of that list...click on next page...and on and on...some even list home addy's with seed availability. Lots of good genetics. Go buy lots of bubble envelopes and stamps. Write notes to people or email them before sending bubblie. Lots of generous people hang out 'round here. Neat club we belong to. Peace Wayne

Yeah, that's good advice Herbie
Page back thru that seed exchange board
There are plenty of good seeds there free
Tough part is deciding which ones are best

The problem is if a person starts a hill with different varieties, it will be hard to distinguish when it comes time to cull. Any of you guys have any seed to share?

Herbie. . .
Usually start about two seeds indoors for each hill
Transplant outdoors soon after germination
Keep them a couple feet apart and labeled
Cull to one plant per hill just before they compete

So you should maybe round up about 3 seeds for each spot
(some won't sprout)
If you send bubble packs to half those offering on "seed exchange" page, you'll soon have a hundred seeds :)
Then start asking these people to help you pick best

Herbie, if you haven't found any incredible seeds to send for at this time...email me and I will give you an addy to send a bubblie to and will fill it with some seeds from a couple of good genetic crosses. Not big fruit due to early splits...due to rookie mistakes...yet viable seeds with good controled genetics. Keep searching seed exchange board, emailing folks offering seeds, being polite and telling them a little about "herbie" and you...like me...will soon have more seeds than you know what to do with!!! LOL Peace, Wayne
