I would agree with the top mad scientist part. My experience with his gear is minimal, but I always get more excited about his supernatural selections, and landrace sativa's x 88g13hp, OMG, etc.
Right now I've only 1 Bodhi plant (Jungle Spice), but I'll have a few more in the room next run.
I think what the market thinks is best (subjective) is what makes me look for his gear that doesn't include it. As I mentioned earlier, what I find in the stores doesn't do it for me a lot of the time. That's why I really took a stronger interest in growing my own and searching out lines with older, less worked genes.
Edit: I see some market stuff he uses that get me pretty pumped too though. I love the group here, and have been swayed to be more open minded. Thanks to y'all!
Man I am all about the landrace side of MJ or just all around creativity. I have always been this way and it is what draws me to Bodhi, but fuck some of the new stuff really is incredible in all areas. I have learned be much more open minded as well in the past 8-10 years and I couldn't be more happy. I will grow a wild Thai right next to some real deal sherbert, zkittlez, non-mint cookie cuts, or purple punch. I have learned to just put all the politics and breeder personality out the door and just try shit. Trust me when I tell you what is worthy of given a shot. I smoked some sherbert extract the other day that just blew my fuckin mind. I had avoided it as just another orange since I got access to Cali-o and Tangie, damn the flavor and buzz were awesome. It is citrus orange but unique in its own rights. I spent I think 800$ on sherbert crosses since then. Especially cannarados. If you can find a pack of Sunset Sundae anywhere BUY IT. The quality that CSI, Symb, and Canna bring the table is just undeniable in my grow room and in my pipe. Symbiotics new lines should be fuckin wow. If I were you I'd grab a pack of wedding crashers and the new Armello and just give it a shot. Don't buy knock offs buy from the source, selection really does matter. I have a huge list of European, Canadian, on top of US breeders to compare to. I have done nothing but seeds for 15 years now and in huge quantities. I can't wait to run my new Watermelon lines from Canna after having had real deal watermelon kush.
Also you mentioned stores so I take it you are probably in a dispensary legal state? I have been to so many dispensaries it's not funny in past year. Mostly Colorado but also Cali. The vast majority of it I would never use as a comparison to a good grower. Even if they had nutes right on everything I sampled it was commercial bud through and through at every dispensary. Not a single wax extract in 5 different dispensaries in Colorado had any decent smell or taste. The bud were always kiefed, machine cut, tiny probably cuz of early fast turn around flowering times, and always dry as rock from bein kept in only plastic jars. I would bring my own pot if I ever went back to CO no joke if I had to buy from a dispensary and didn't know a local non commercial guy. Oregon and Cali are much better as a whole but Cali has a lot of bullshit too its like any good grower is not doing shit legally.
As far as Bodhi goes pop that Jungle Spice it really has my attention along with anything his Kashmir touches. I really wish I had the extra cash for his Peach Romulan crosses. If I could afford to I would dedicate a whole damn flower room to his landrace oriented lines though just to explore. Gonna be a couple years until I can get back into landrace stuff though.
