How to give proper credit for a seed?

I often grow from seeds that I get lucky enough to find. How do I give proper credit to the strain... i.e. I grow purple Lamborghini from another harvest from commercial growers?

You list it as a "custom breeder". When the seed/clone option appears, just click in the box and type in whatever you want to call the seed and it will be given the "custom breeder" identification. With growing "bag seeds" you find, you risk obtaining plants with faulty genetics/inbred genetics. If there are only one or three seeds in a crop, the pollen needed to come from a plant that has "hermied" and grown some male flowers. This will produce seeds that have the genetic make-up to do the same thing - grow male flowers. It also runs the risk of "inbreeding" whereby not only does the seeds contain genes for growing male flowers as a dominant trait, inbreeding can also cause other recessive genes to become dominant, resulting in mutated plants that are sometimes called "throw backs". You may have been lucky up to now with successful plants, but sooner or later, you are going to grow a "throw back" and if it is your entire grow, it will turn out to be a waste of time, money and effort. Much better to buy commercially bred seeds with stable genetics and almost guaranteed results. Hope this helps,..... Organoman.

If you're asking how to choose seeds and how to pay for them for next grows then I'd say first choose a reputable seed bank with good genetics to buy from, then assess your grow space and choose the strain according to cold resistance, stretch in flowering, and yield potential. Of course you have the choice between the color, Sativa/Hybrid/Indica, and smell (Genotype - which can also be affected by the growing conditions). As for payment, if you get the seeds from a known bank seeds with good reviews then I believe there shouldn't be any problems with inputting credit card numbers (some bank seeds accept different types of payments as well like e-transfer/bit-coin or other cryptocurrencies). I recommend "Crop King Seeds" for buying seeds with good and stable genetics in NA, for Europeans I'd recommend "Royal Queen Seeds" or "Blue Magic Seeds". Hope this helps! Good luck and happy growing :)
