Stupid window fan can't get the damn thermometer to work right due to the fluctuating weather, lost the cola of the blue tara molded in the jar, luckily it was left in a jar by itself. Temps have been going from 18-25 daily in like 5-8 hours. I guess I should have taken the cola apart into little buds... but it was so purdy!

I guess I am looking for a independent fan thermostat today.

Prolly like 5-7g's. Lost. The rest is sitting out on a board now drying out till I feel comfortable putting it away again. These constant fluctuations are fucking horrible. It was like T-shirt weather Monday today there's an inch of snow on the ground.

Morning all! I don't post many veg pics but here's a tent full of Bodhi about to get the flip. I hate to bring it back up, but one little thing about my testers. I'm gonna go straight to the man himself and ask what he wants me to do. This has NEVER been about "free beans." As I see it, he has too much to search through and too little time/space. Instead of going through the regular means of hand picking testers, he made it public "hoping it won't backfire." I have $1200 worth of Bodhi gear sitting in my fridge now and won't hesitate to drop another grand, I believe in him! I'm still about to have an entire bedroom open up and it will be the perfect area to run nothing but testers. If he never sends me another pack, that's fine, I'll still buy his gear!

When TY posted the list, I saw a couple of things - can't remember what - and sent off an e-mail to bodhi. Never heard anything back, and when people started reporting receiving testers and mails, I'd figured they wisely chose other peeps. But I got an e-mail yesterday, and they say they are sending out a ton in the next couple of days - that 98% of peeps that asked will get testers.

I immediately mailed back and asked them not to send testers, or to provide a return address if they were already sent. I'm far to in to future gardens to run anything else.

Well I emailed them about testing. Wish me luck. I'd love to save money on beans and at the same time provide a service back to Bodhi.

I'm willing to give half my garden. I'm a sucker for the hype but all of the pictures in this thread speak for themselves.

Har har! Thou naives and serfs shall not have the glorious bounty of emeralds and sapphires! If I had 3 wishes from the will of azgaban I would doth grant thee nuggets of jabbas, mountain wishes and afkansas. Har Har Har thy fellow armigers. Praise the dragon of Firey Nodule stinks. Hella.

Which is the Jabba? I recently gave the remainder of my JS beans to a buddy, and will be getting clones back soon. I ran five earlier but only got one female, he got 3 out of 4 females which just finished and says one is extremely stank nasty, so I am very interested in that one, he also got one that was an impressive yielder and one that was very bubba-like in nature.

Testing isn't and shouldn't be about free beans, but free beans are one of the best motivations for testing, so mentioning them shouldn't be some kind of taboo. I look at it as a trade for growing potentially hazardous genetics. As far as the finances go, if you are financially dependent on the outcome of every single plant you grow, then perhaps testing is not the way to go as these are unproven, potentially unreleasable genetics that could cause some problems with your garden. So, and I'm not saying this is the case with anyone, but if you're doing it because you need the free seeds than you definitely need to evaluate whether you should be testing in the first place. I have had testers in which a large percent of females showed hermaphroditic behavior and pollenated nearly everything else in the room. If I had paid for these beans and gotten them without any kind of warning, I would certainly be pissed. However, they were free, and the risk of intersexiness is a vital part of testing itself. At any rate, in these days of extracts and concentrates, a bunch of seedy herb is no longer really the armageddon-like scenario that it once was. I remember in one of the more recent testing posts B said he was not really concerned with the skills of the growers as he wanted feedback from all skill levels; but I do remember him mentioning in another earlier post that he wanted testers to be able to run at least 7 of each strain to get a good sampling of females. I plan to start my entire packs, I just like to stagger them a little, just in case anything goes wrong with the first batch I will still have enough to get at least a couple females.

Well said.

Getting free seeds isn't much incentive IMO. Especially (like you said) when those seeds could be unstable. I'd rather spend the $80 and pick up something that I'm actually interested in. My time, and the space that those plants will occupy in my garden is far more valuable to me than $80.

3rd pic down is Jabba. Tight rock hard pear shaped spears. Smells like gasoline, coffee and lemon gelato.

I'll take them off your hands if you end up getting them and I'll run the full pack. PM me if it's cool.

Especially if you want to test it's mold resistance. I just moved to a swamp.

Lil nuge of SA.

Feck. It happened today. The clock at my place of employment has been wrong since I started working there, but it's very high up and I don't have a ladder/motivation to fix it. Today a "clock guy" (swear to god) came to fix my clock.

him: Whoa! got some crazy smells going on in here today!
Me: Oh. Yeah, the paint and solvents etc can really stink. I've heard it smells like mac and cheese in here too.
him: Naaaaaaah, This isn't anything like that.
Me: Like glue or something?
Him: It smells like BUD up in here. I mean, I don't care AT ALL. I wont say anything don't worry.

Well FUCK.

At times though I think, fire me. Guess it's time to rock a 20k watt warehouse.:finger:

I totally get this, there were runs that I had test gear only and it looked like it could fall either way. Clusterfunk Remix for example gave me ten very vigorous girly boys. Male flowers everywhere.
I must give breeders credit on one thing: they got to know my tastes very quickly, and now I am offered only Sats and Chems pretty much, and a whole bunch of Cheese crosses to play with in a bit. And we did find three lifetime keepers so far. Most of the time the runs really do go very well.
