seed-train The Unstable Seed Train

I have made, and collected, a number of crosses this year and already planted out my winter grow, so I've decided to try to start a seed train with the extras of some of these crosses.

So for all you mad scientists that want to share any of your ongoing genetic experiments or plant out a few F1, F2, F3.... of someone else's please jump on this train.

I'm going to start I'll be sending out a box to the first person next Friday, and I'd like to get the train back once before the spring so I'll jump in in the 10th position.

I'll also hold position 1 and 11, as well as 2 and 12 reserved for anyone that can contribute 5 or more to the train to get it going. That way large contributors can get it early then get it again later after its been around a bit. Just let me know if you can make a larger contribution in your post and i'll put you in one of these spots, otherwise you will go in the lowest available other spot.

I have a couple "railcars" on the train please try to place your seeds in an appropriate railcar and provide short descriptions as best you can.

Railcars are marked:

"Unstable"
-New F1 crosses and F2+ that have not yielded the same phenotype in consecutive grows yet
-Put your experiments here with a description of the phenotype you are selecting for or would like to select for

"Mostly Stable"
-for new types that are around the F4+ and have yielded similar phenotypes for 2 consecutive grows
-Put anything that has looked generally the same for 2 grows here with a description of the phenotype you are selecting for or would like to select for

"New/Rare and Stable"
- Types that are generally uncirculated or rare but are stable to phenotype
-Anything that is not yet widely circulated, this may include a new type you developed and has yielded the same phenotype for more than 2 grows or a variant that is not widely circulted. Please include a brief description of phenotype.

"Stable Strains"
-Anything that is otherwise already circulating in the hobby
-All other seeds go here, please include name

Rules/Expectations as follows:

1) You must add at least one cross to the train.

2) Do your best to add more than you take.

3) get the address of the next person by pm prior to receiving the train

4) get the train back in the mail no more than 2 days after you get it.

5)Enjoy growing the peppers.

6) Must be in USA sorry I don't want to deal with customs, but if an international member wants in on this I will include you by proxy when it gets back to me on the 10th stop. That is you should send me your contributed seeds and I will send you a seed list and then the seeds you want.

7) Feel free to add any seed strains you want including pure strains but lets keep a strong focus on crosses/unstables and experiments.

Im in, I've got a (unknown to me) cross I can throw in..

I'll jump in at number three... I have a few... Might be more than 5 (in my list of over 500 varieties...) but I haven't counted, nor will I have time to count before this friday, nor would I have time to deal with it if it arrived during this or next weekend :)
 
Cool thanks for jumping on, jsschrstrcks I stuck you on at 2, I'm not starting it till next Friday, at best it will not get to you for 2 weeks, if that's too soon I'll bump you back to 3 as you requested.. dragogt I put you at 3, hope that's ok, I just figure you'd want in after it's gone to a few people that add a few types.

Jsschrstrcks, do you want it back after its been around?
 
two weeks is fine :) midterms at grad school (seminary) this week, break next week, and the week after that is a lull before more midterms... so its good timing.

it will give me a chance to pick up my seedbank while I'm in Florida as well...

at that early of a spot, I would like to see it a second time:).

That's cool, also feel free to bump me down if needed..
 
sounds good, we could use at least one more person up at the front to receive it after me, I've got several crosses to put in there plus a few unstables. I'll easily have 20 types in there when I send out the first time. However, it would be awesome if someone else could add about the same amount right after me so it has a strong start.

I think people will appreciate rare types as well so I'll have a couple "railcars" on the train that are marked:

"Unstable"
-New F1 crosses and F2+ that have not yielded the same phenotype in consecutive grows yet
-Put your experiments here with a description of the phenotype you are selecting for or would like to select for

"Mostly Stable"
-for new types that are around the F4+ and have yielded similar phenotypes for 2 consecutive grows
-Put anything that has looked generally the same for 2 grows here with a description of the phenotype you are selecting for or would like to select for

"New/Rare and Stable"
- Types that are generally uncirculated or rare but are stable to phenotype
-Anything that is not yet widely circulated, this may include a new type you developed and has yielded the same phenotype for more than 2 grows or a variant that is not widely circulted. Please include a brief description of phenotype.

"Stable Strains"
-Anything that is otherwise already circulating in the hobby
-All other seeds go here, please include name

jsschrstrcks, would you please PM Hix? I'd do it but if you have already traded with him or otherwise know him the PM may be more effective from you.

Anyone else thats browsing this page and reluctant to join in because you dont have crosses, if you can contribute to any of the "railcars" substantially and your interested in growing out some of the F1-5 from other members feel free to jump in. I'll relax the first requirment a bit, but you should be able to add substantially to the diversity of the train.

I'd like to have the first 12 stops filled out by next friday when I ship it out.
 
I'll jump on, don't have many crosses or unstables but have 100+ other varieties I'd say maybe 5 or 6 cross/varient/semi stable types that I could add 15-20 of each. I would need to be in a spot that it would arive in September since I will be away for work till then. I have not grown any of the cross/varient/semi stable types that I have as they are recently aquired and are on my list to grow next season.

So a year from now? Not sure where to add you on the list for that.
