WookiexG13:HP.JPG It is unfortunate that this thread is framed as it is, although it is easy to see that the intention is to stir the pot...

I think that it is a mental fallacy to try and claim that one breeding style is destroying cannabis genetics. What has been hinted at is that despite all the acrimony, there is a synergy that has happened and continues to happen as genetics are spread and managed differently. Cuts have gone to the Dutch, who have worked them. These have then gone back into the world and taken a life of their own as they are crossed to create new shapes, colors, smells, and effects. What is unstable can be stabilized, and stability can be upset.

It is somewhat unfair to criticize breeders for not using the techniques enabled by the allowance of large scale operations (in the Botany of Desire film there is a great segment about a Tulip breeder who went through many large fields of tulips as part of the process of tulip breeding....what dedication!). The real enemy here are the laws that unjustly prevent such ventures from taking place in the first place. Folks have to work in the constraints. I must say that it is easier to imagine a projected evil like Monsanto being much more located in this scale of a breeding project, than at the family business level...

In specific defense of Bodhi's breeding practices, it seems like no one has mentioned his collection trips to find and help preserve landrace genetics, and his 'second' seed company the Niereka seed trust dedicated to landrace genetics. This seems in stark contrast to the strain hunters whom seem to care little for the impact they have on the gene pool...In addition Bodhi has worked on preserving heirloom strains like Apollo 11, among others. I believe he has also worked the goji og to at least an f3. While he has released many hybrids he also continues to develop promising lines. These things take time!

Anyways, I just finished a testing run of Wookie x G13/Hp (1st pheno is the picture in the post) and Hindu Kush x G13/Hp. I started 5 wookie hybrids and got five amazing females, all frosty, all great smelling. I have not sampled two yet, but three have had great highs and taste and 2 have had great yield to boot. One Hindu hybrid had some nanners, but is probably still a keeper anyway. I am happy at least to participate in the testing process. It is one way to help a breeder get around number limitations...

What I appreciate about Bodhi's work as a grower, is the diversity he offers. Never have I seen such an amazing array of genetics, and all the better they are making it out into the world!

AFAIK The issue with Monsanto isn't the farmers' actual ability to produce their own seeds, that CAN be done, the issue is that Monsanto sues and bankrupts farmer that attempt to reseed that way, and LEGALLY forbids them from producing their own seeds with Monsanto stock and requires them to re-purchase seeds. Even farmers whose non-Monsanto crops are pollinated by Monsanto crops get sued if they try to use the seeds that produces. But it's all a legal thing, they didn't somehow manage to make seeds that couldn't be reproduced by the people who use them.

And I could be misunderstanding what you mean by "Two hybrids will never give you either of the originals" but that statement is, at least the way I read it, incorrect because of Mendelian genetics and the way they are inherited, which allows us to, given enough time, easily reproduce the originals by breeding and selecting from the hybrids.

No, farmers cannot reproduce their own seeds from hybrid to get the same results. The farmers that breed their own seed stock have been using their own genetics for generations with seeds that are IBL and most likely not hybrids* unless that farmer is lucky enough to have the means to keep clones or three genetic seed lines going at once. Most farmer's simply don't have the time, space nor resources to produce their own seeds that will produce as good as the ones they can buy. Sound familiar? Almost sounds like what's going on in the weed seed world.

Easily reproduce the originals given enough time? Sure, that's why all these clone only's are no longer clone only but are instead dead on exact carbon copies of the original only in seed form. That's like saying, if you and your girlfriend had enough kids that you would eventually have two kids that were 100% carbon copies of both of your parents, ain't likely to ever happen.

Treasure Island is a SinCity Seeds strain from their High CBD line, I believe it is Swiss Gold x AC/DC. I don't think bodhi has one with that name, but I could be wrong.

Hmm, I think I have the name wrong then, I don't think it was sin city since they are pretty new, or at least new to me.. I swear it was a bodhi strain.. something Island.. I wrote it down a long time ago I'll see if I can find the paper in my seed box.

That's the one! Where can I get that? I've been wanting it for a year or more now but forgot about it until I ran across this thread. I think it was a purple cross of some sort, I can't remember who was growing it but it looked great.

Yeah it's Purple Urkel x Appalachia I believe, but as for where you can get it I'm at a loss. I think I've seen a couple packs at a few dispensaries in Cali, but I could be mis-remembering.

RIU needs more posters like this....a real breath of fresh air.

Bodhi has pulled ENTIRE lines because the male overpowered the female too much.

He had people test the beans and all came out too close to the father and not enough of the mother's traits.

Did he chuck? Yes. Did he let a bad product get to the consumer? No he pulled it.

The average grower DOES NOT want to breed. They just want a cross that lets through the traits of the mom plant and perhaps adds something beneficial to the mix.

Fantasy Island has been gone for some time. I figure the only way you will find it now is at some auction site. Appalachia male is gone forever, so no more will be made. This one is up there on the list for me too, I would love to grab a couple packs.

And Bodhi gear is cheap for what you get. The best places that offer Bodhi are around $70-76 and are usually Buy 2 get 1 free. Most people say they don't buy for the freebies as they are just junk etc, but with Bodhi it is another pack of Bodhi freebies so it is all fire.
