The "Breeder" link in a lot of cases takes you a search page because it's not linked up properly. I can see where the problem comes from. You leave it to the user to input the strain and breeder name.
For the Strain Guide submission form, you should have drop down menus for the Breeder and Strain. Then a manual input if they don't see either the Breeder or Strain they are reviewing. I understand that creating a Breeder category with the seeds under that breeder is extra work, but just putting a drop down box for all the Breeders currently stored in your database really shouldn't be extra work.
This is going to cut down on your maintenance time as well.

In the "my strains" list, I have deleted one strain, only because when I entered it the first time, it showed up twice. I thought, maybe I had entered it twice on accident, but then realized another strain I entered has shown up twice as well in the list....
Not sure what is up with that...

Frank check My Strains. See if one of each dupes is showing up as "deleted". The system doesn't actually delete the strain completely, only deletes it from public view. If two entries for the same strain that you entered are showing up in public view, let me know.

Thanks for the suggestions. It could possibly work for the breeders but not for the strains. There's too many variations now, and we're looking mostly for new strains, not strains that are already in our database. For the grow reports that might work better.
In any case I review every submission and make corrections - which I have to do regardless, so it's no big deal to fix the breeder name when it's entered wrong.
If the guide were to get much busier I might consider automating more of it, but it's no big deal.
The real problem is determining whether a breeder is legit or not. That's why I've created the personal strain option for ppl who do breeding but don't sell the seeds.
BTW, that link you mentioned above for G13 x NYC Diesel, is that from the G13 Collection? I don't see it listed there or on Seed Boutique.
Hey Skip....
I entered a grow report for Free Tibet a while ago.....but....when I click the breeder - Soma Seeds - from the "My Grow Reports" section....I get "Breeder Not Found".....and when I use the Breeder Directory....the Soma Seeds page has no S/Boutique entry for Free Tibet, and no mention of my Grow Report.
Any chance you could link this up?
Thanks.

High Skip,
This isn't a problem per se, but it's a bug report
The description of Blockhead from Spice of Life at the ICmag Strain Guide, is inaccurate to what the original SOL Blockhead description was (see below). I think the original description does a better job describing Blockhead, IME anyway. I suggest changing to the original description.
