I had a bunch of freebies of GDP, ended up getting them to another member. I'm picky with breeders now since I really hate growing something that may possibly be a disappointment (looking at you THSeeds, and G13...)

did you try the mk ultra? It was really hyped up thats why I didn't get it. But I am always tempted.

I have to admit, I knew a grower who had a mk ultra, easily top ten strains. I wouldn't mind trying to grow it, but I don't want to pheno hunt.

That's confusing to me, amigo, but it may also be the Tangerine Power I'm testing. Isn't the Bodhi experience nothing but hoping to get lucky and get a pheno close to the description?
I've only ran 2 TH beans - one was a decent Sage n Sour that took forever to finish, and the other was an 8 week gem - A-Train. Just popped another of those.
I only have 1 female of Golden Triangle out of 5 plants + it's EXACTLY like his description.
I've seen other growers phenotypes, and they look VERY similar to what I have.
I've got a phenotype of Satsuma that I can identify with one some1 on breedbay had/has.
I don't believe it's hard to find one like his description, I'm not growing entire packs...

I have to disagree on my limited experience so far. Superstitious for me was very uniform, and while it may be Bodhi's favorite, it was pretty spot on from his descriptions, particularly on breedbay. Now saw differences with Sunshine Daydream, but effect was spot on, and the smell was good. Is there hunting? Yes, but even a bad plant of Bodhi's gear is better than most. Descriptions for cannabis are hard, I think the aspect of subjective ways of descriptors can be hard to relate to others. Are accurate descriptions a good thing? yes, but I find some companies are a bit better, shit, who's right on flowing times? None that I've seen and grown. Really I just want goos cannabis, I'd really rather know expectations of growing other than the mix up of terps. That and overall effect. I think we all have different wants from our plants, I don't chase tastes, effects first and always foremost.

I'll post pics of the gear when it arrived. Made it to Chicago today so now the waiting and the finger crossing begins. I will also post pics of the finished product. I'm growing IsLanD from DNA genetics now. Then I may try and grow the island with some cotton candy from delicious seeds that I've got.

I also have iced grapefruit, tangilope, purple paralysis, sugar black rose and kannabia special coming. Hoping to get something great out of the mix

Aurora by Nirvana is one of the strains I have coming in the other order. I'm hoping it will be here Monday.

I grok what you're saying there....even the awful tasting Blood Orange #1 had good potency. But I have jars upon jars of various plants w/ good effects, so I got rid of BO#1 straight away. #3 has a nice orange scent with a week to go, and I anticipate good effect and the orange taste and smell that enticed me to order Blood Orange...ya know?
It's crazy to me that people still think good taste = low potency.

if this is from White Label you wont be disappointed. Great smell, taste and smoke at a very reasonable price. One of my favorite 'cheap' strains.

True but it's crazier to me when taste is valued OVER potency/desirability of effects. Some strains get all the hype in the world and the strain description doesn't even mention or glosses over the effects. I'd rather have something that I love the way it makes me feel with a mediocre taste than something with average effects and a delicious taste. Obviously, I'd like great potency and great effects but I value what it does to relieve my pain (it's awful) or enhance something I love MUCH more than how it tastes. You're probably going to eat or drink something in a few minutes anyways. A great taste is an added plus to me but not something I seek out with much fervor.

I get what you are saying Amos, I don't chase tastes though. When running siblings, I generally choose between what's best in effects, next with how it grows. Plus I find longer cures bring out better flavors and smells. Not accusing you of not curing, I just know many don't take the time to spend on on a proper cure. I myself fall into this from time to time. Eta, I never said better taste/smell =lower potency. I do however find many strongly odored plants sometimes are very much of a let down in effect. A correlation not a causation

I'm finding that *most* newer hybrids I'm running are indistinguishable as far as effect and potency goes. Some slightly stronger than others, but not a huge difference. Seems like everything is a 9 week hybrid anymore. That's what sells, so that's what the breeders focus on. Even great strains like Kali Mist have been watered down to appeal to the average ganja grower.

Thanks for your reply, but again, I don't have any idea why there's an either/or discussion about this when SO many strains are the total package of potency/taste/yield. I've ran several.
Yeah...me, too. Luckily I have a couple of local amigos to trade out buds that don't measure up to make it to the cupboard.
Yeah....sometimes. But after a few purchases and a few grows, a lot of folks cross those off the list and move on [ Pineapple Express, for instance.] As many plants as you run, I can hardly believe your results are mostly ill tasting, but potent buds. You've run Blueberry Hill and Goji, right? My Goji #2 may be the best tasting jar of buds in the cupboard. Goji #1 was the totem pole / piney pheno - every bit as potent, but I'm not an acrid pine afficienado. I have 4 jars of 4 month old Goji #2, and #1 paid for an addition to the back deck [and change].
But I'm happy to let everyone enjoy what they enjoy - I chime in because I know from experience that good taste and great effects are not so hard to find. That's a different discussion from 'I don't care about taste'.

I mostly agree with that, and guess that high tolerance/constant use is probably a big reason. Even so, early vapes from a recently chopped Tangerine Power seriously kicked my a$$ last night, and flattened a couple amigos. None of us anticipated that sort of strength from a 'frooooty' strain. You probably get the reference...

Recent purchases made for next round were:
5 pack VerdantGreen LVPK x Pre 98 Bubba fems
15 pack SCS Truepower OG
then I traded 4 Truepower OG and some crosses I made to clone only females to a buddy for 5 SCS Galactic Jack, 4 RD Starkiller, 4 RD The OX, and 2 HSO Headband.
So I pulled the Truepower OG from the lineup for next run and going to do the 5 LVPK x Pre 98 Bubbas and the 4 RD The OX then the Truepower OGs and Galactic Jack the run after. Around that time I should also be getting a new batch of clones to play with from my buddy. Got some goodies on deck now, should be set for a minute.
Anyone grown the Truepower OG or Galactic Jack from Sin City Seeds, The OX or Starkiller from Rare Dankness, or Headband from Humboldt Seed Organization feel free to let me know your results, I would be interested to hear.
