I'd have to disagree. Mike J from peak seeds is more respectable in my opinion. Dude runs his own shop, offers stable genetics you can always get again if you lose them, he doesn't offer 60 strains at a time, charges less and doesn't make up fairytale back stories to sell his "limited", "boutique", "rare", "one of a kind" etc..strains. Sure bodhi has good looking gear but to say he looks better than other breeders, I don't agree. Just saying.

And you still have not run any Bodhi so your opinion is still just as useless as before. Just saying.

Yeah because if I haven't ran bodhi I some how am not allowed to have an opinion about how he bullshits. Here's nug in your eye, any breeder can make fire.

I think most people don't realize that Bodhi has done more than half a dozen collection trips to Nepal, China, India, Mexico, and more... He offers rare heirlooms and breeding tools that few if any other breeders offer...
most seem to focus on his Appy and snow lotus crosses, but Bodhi's been offering a wide genetic pool for more than a decade.

While I ain't gonna shit on Bodhi - maybe you find the very best of the best plants in his gear.
But MikeJ is easily the best breeder out there currently that I've experienced. I've run a few different IBLs from a few different breeders. His are by far the best. And that says everything to me. You can always go back and find what you're looking for in his gear, the stability is fantastic on said IBLs and the F1's are literally the definition of an F1 (or about as close as you can get).
He's clearly doing serious breeding vs chucking pollen most guys do. The PCers can have some nice lines, and I've bought plenty - I ain't hating... but if we're talking about breeding skills there aren't many in his wheelhouse IMO.

Bodhi has several Sweet Skunk crosses already. Popped Sweet Skunk x 88g13/hp over weekend. Dying to see those after seeing the Chem 3 cross

Bodhi's Space mountain (Sweet Skunk clone x Apollo 11g) was an excellent cross that utilized breeder steves clone as well.

The Sweet Skunk he uses isn't stable like MikeJ's. I guarantee.. In fact I know it's a polyhybrid 1/1000 (via Breeder Steve) plant because they grew out a huge number when they found the Sweet Skunk cut that's popular. It was from an indica dominant line too with a freak sativa expression IIRC.
I would be surprised if it hybridized as well as an actual IBL which is what MJ's is. It has the original SS in it but then he crossed it Skunk #1 (old stock) and worked it until it was stable and to his liking. IMO it's superior to the Sweet Skunk cut which I have had plenty of.

I definitely ain't shitting on bodhi's strains or his abilities, just I don't need fancy back stories about losing parent plants or shaman seeds. I've repeatedly said that I plan on running bodhi gear and honestly I haven't personally ran any of Mike's or bodhi's stuff but I can read and all I know is Mike J is keeping it very real.

I think people are confused about my stance on not just bodhi but every breeder in the game, sin city include hammie. I support all american breeders and will buy seeds from any breeder when I see something I want.
I feel confident that if I buy a pack of bodhi and ran them I would find dank because I have seen several beautiful pictures and journals and I trust many of my fellow RIU'ers judgment.
The only hang up I have, and it isn't even a big deal just something I've noticed, is all the gimmicks and back stories, shit reminds me of American Idol or some dumb show where every contestant has a sad sack back story. That is it. I don't think many american or big money european breeders are exempt from that behavior but from all my research and reading throughout the years, Mike J and some other smaller canadian breeders seem to be more humble in regards to their breeding and marketing practices, IMO. I again have bodhi mark for purchase when space opens up, just like I got space for sin city, HSO, Element, etc...

Sweet Skunk is amazing. His blueberry is a very strong representation as well although it's less worked than his NL or Sweet Skunk and significantly more challenging to grow or germinate. I enjoyed his Northern Lights as well but Sweet Skunk is the one IMO.
Keep in mind I'm a sativa head.
I've grown out Herijuana, Sannies Jack and Peyote Purple which are all IBLs from different breeders.
Herijuana was interesting for breeding material and medicine, but ultimately the flavor isn't my bag and I love sativas more than indicas.
The Jack is interesting too and I'm running it again, but again it's not as well done as MJ's Sweet Skunk IMO.
Peyote Purple has a lot going for it, especially trichrome production but I just found it lacked any kick. It's going to be better for breeding than smoking IMO.

Beat me to it and gave way more info than I would have hehe.
Is Bodhi's BS Sweet Skunk not from a cutting but from a phenohunt?
While on the topic, anyone else here seen Breeder Steve on IG? Looks like BIG TINGS on the horizon.

I am now more confused about Sweet Skunk than ever. I know that the cut I've had is the same one Chimera uses though so I think the rep I've had is a good one.
