Ya I avoid cross border shopping at all costs right now with the shitty dollar. There is a guy in BC that sells Tents and Fans etc, he gives good deals and no brokerage charge.
As far as Scotts Oh No goes, that's hilarious OH NO, not hilarious of the hermies that's a bummer, as far as me and beans go I bought once a month for a few years and have over 40 strains saved up. Plus all the crosses I am doing in the mean time. Plus the many tens of thousands of beans I have made in the past 5 years. I am swimming in beans. Every run I take clones of each, find the desirable ones and incross them, then I take the pollen from the desirable males from the previous run and outcross the desirables from the current run. I save Pollen from the Desirable males in the current run for the next run. That way I get an incross of the original strain + and outcross of two desirable strains. I built an attachment that goes on my shopvac that will sort premies from the good stock, I save the good beans 1 3rd in deep freeze, 1 3rd in the fridge, and one third in a cool dry place accessible to me for if I want to donate etc. All beans are dried and stored with an ass load of desiccant and oxygen absorbers, so to say I won't have to buy beans for a while is an understatement LMAO. Will I buy beans? Oh ya I will... I am holding off for a while because I am detecting a compulsive behaviour emerging that someone could call bean hoarding :).
