 Welcome to Reader Syndicate 3.0, the next evolution of the look into counterculture that is Canada. My name is Matthew, owner of Riot Seeds, and this started as a one-man mission for strain history and breeding science. Over time, it's evolved into something bigger, better, and more of a team effort. We will be joined by members of the Cannaluminati and other friends throughout the seasons to hear their takes on grow techniques, breeding science, strain history, and more. Our mission is to combat the narrative that corporate cannabis and seed posters are obfuscating for their own financial benefit. Welcome to the Underground. We are The Syndicate. What's up everyone? We finally hit 10,000 subscribers, which is massive for a niche nerdy topic like this. It wasn't really thought possible by anyone, let alone me. With that said, we want to do a contest for everyone, and it also kind of coincides with our Instagram page being totally knocked down. So we decided we would do like one for Instagram and one separately for the Patreon people, and that won't be a little bit bigger because it's a paid membership. First, for Instagram, make sure you go follow breeders.syndicate.podcast on Instagram. I mean, we have to put something up there as much as I hate the platform and how it treats anything cannabis, even history, without any advertising for anything other than a show. But we have to play that game and we like to get the word out. So please go follow us there to be eligible for this contest. We're going to give away a free pack from me, a free pack from Goat Farm, and a free pack from H&L for that contest. I think we're going to end the contest, let me see, on the 23rd of next week. So that means the winner will be announced on March 1st show at the beginning. So be sure if you win, not to use your real name because I'm going to announce it on the show and stuff. And that'll be fun, but I don't want to like dox anyone either. So we have that for the Instagram people, but you have to be following. You have to be following the page or you won't be eligible. That's where I'm picking the pool from and we're going to randomize it. For the Patreon and Discord people, we're not only going to have those three packs, we're also going to have a large bottle of reversal spray, which is huge. It's a big price and I wanted to make it extra special. I'll probably throw in a little bit more for the Patreon people because they've done so much to be a part of driving this community. You have time. You have time to join the Patreon. It's $5 a month, so not asking a lot. We also have our 50 tier that is going to get filled soon. We do that every three months, but it's filled with three things, I'll say, you know. Yeah, so a free pack from me, a pack from High and Lonesome and a pack from Goat Farm. And yeah, I'm stoked for it. Thank you everyone for helping us make the 10k subscribers. I do owe a massive debt of gratitude to Thousandfold without him. One, there'd be no show, and I've said that before, I don't think people get that. I see a lot of comments talking about how, you know, they prefer one coast over the other because they got so used to it. And realistically, if that was still going on, there wouldn't be a show. Just wouldn't. I didn't have that even mindset to push to 10k. I didn't think it was possible. It really wasn't a goal. My goal was just trying to keep myself interested enough to keep doing the show. And for a while, it wasn't. A long while. So yeah, it's special to me. It's special to him. And we hope we can make it special for you and everyone watching. So yeah, make sure you're either part of the Patreon or following on breeders.syndicate.podcast on IG to be entered. That's all you got to do. It's not asking much. So yeah, with that said, we have our show up this week. It's the Outdoor Part 2. Go check it out. Next week, we are diving back into breeding very heavily. And I'm revisiting an old episode I was really not super stoked with. Not just about how it was produced by myself, the actual content and where it led to some misinformation. And we've always said, like, if anything changes, if anything comes to light, we will update it and we will make the information correct. That's correct as we can. That happened. And I'm first and foremost to push for that just because I'm anal about that kind of stuff. So we go into breeding deeper in a very popular subject. So yeah, with that said, go join the contest. It's free. You don't have to do anything for the Instagram one. Be a part of the Patreon. It's a bigger package, bigger contest. So $5 gets you there. Cheers.
