bodhi seeds

[HaroldRocks]

The lavender cut in the bay area doesn't get much purple, just a hint at the edges of the leaves, if anything. Most people say it smells like lavender, but to me they have a musty smell which reminds me of damp moldy books that weren't stored properly. Or I might describe it as really old dried lavender that wasn't stored properly, so most of the aromatic volatile oils have already off-gassed.

I didn't like growing that cut because it gets bud rot easily, and doesn't do well outdoors. The leaves and buds are very soft, which makes them extremely susceptible to damage from munching bugs. The buds also lost a lot of volume in the drying process.

I have smoked some really great lavender bud from medical dispensaries and dealers back in the day, but just didn't enjoy growing it.

I'm sure that bodhi's wookie hybrid is more vigorous and resilient, but because of my negative experiences with the original lavender cut, and the fact I don't really enjoy the smell, I haven't been super motivated to try the wookie hybrids.

yea idk - i haven't seen Lavender in about 10 years - i thought i remembered it being a squatty afghani type plant - and i dont think it was the big buddy or anything - it was just Lavender - but again, what the hell do i know

@HaroldRocks 2012 isn't that old. Still could get a few of those seven to pop. Ancient OG, Pura Vida, that Elephantizer, and ASS are all strains I truly regret not picking up.

i just grabbed some of that URB to give the oldies an URB soak to see if that helps the germ rate - but im waiting for it in the mail still....in the meantime, i might do a few other experiments with some other oldies that i have that i dont care too much about like soaking them in some fulvic which i already have - i normally just go wet paper towel but ive been giving the oldies the water and h202 12 hour treatment and that seemed to help with a few of them

Naw... you're right on and B would probably agree. He's for pheno-hunters. If people want to grow one seed and get a plant that's exactly what they expected, he's probably not the breeder they want. Gotta bump up the risk a bit to get the extra rewards.

Right, this is why I have been buying 2x packs of the same lately. Some of the freebies I have 3x of like Granola Funk and Lemon Wookie. There have been a few popular F1 breeders around like TGA Subcool. You just have to run a few packs to find exactly what everyone else is talking about, sometimes you get lucky on the first pack. I'm running Lemon Wookie, Purple Wookie, and Magenta HP right now and I backups of each. Maybe I feel let down by a pack, I can run the next and possibly have a completely different experience.

By the way, it's super easy to look up strain info on here. Just go up to the top right and click the magnifier glass. Click search this thread and then type in your keyword(s).

Thanks for the link. The lens of inquiry is often mottled with an abundance of insignificant distractions.

Speaking of. Anyone want to speak out on their knowledge or thoughts on the last few insta posts from the man? That Black Afghani x Iraqi has me intrigued.

I decided to take a look... I don't know man... that looks pretty damn close to being a hermie to me...

 

[seedy character]

@HaroldRocks Haven't tried URB before. Heard good things about its benefit for seedling development too. Some may not agree with its use, but I've had success with a Ga3 soak for 6-8hrs on stubborn beans.

@SFnone Is there a correlation between trichome production on males and intersex? Not heard of that. I agree that one of the pics has what I hope are just leaves that could be malformed calyx. I know the parents are both heavy hitters and the sugar on those boys is crazy.

Partial Bodhi news. A trip back from the veg shed with news of a GLG freebie's particularly foul odor. Pinball Wizard x Unknown Cherry by Shaman Danks. Whatever cherry was put into this is absolute nastiness. Its like a halls cough drop with a cherry so sour its nauseating. Eye watering. I love it. If its a girl theres some saved Pinball Wizard pollen headed its way. A boy will go straight into a fresh cut from Cherry Queen mother. Structure & leaves look afghani and not at all like Pinball Wizard. Lost the other two seedlings due to clumsiness. This lone example has a profile I hope carries through. So gross.

Surprised no reviews on Mimosa x 88g13/hp freebie.

For people who ran any DLA, any herm issues and is there much diversity like most of his stuff?

yeah that looks like a fullblown herm to me

Interesting...i'll have to maybe check that out too....ya know i never did a kelp soak either - i know ive read about that helping....i have a few sample packs of BioAg Ful-Humix sitting around that have instructions for a seed soak - i should probably try that too

Magenta Hashplant was a winner for me. I didn’t do the Pheno hunt it was just given to me but he had two other phenos that look good also. I just ran two plants of the one and it was awesome, super potent for a purple.

The Lavender cut that went around Eugene and supposedly came from Bay area to me back around 2007 was definitely prone to botrytis, but that's because it was crazy dense. I like your terp description...maybe that's why the wookie x master kush I'm finishing right now is called "Pillow Book". That cut was fire, but nobody ever saw a great yield from it that I know.

trichomes like that are extremely rare in males, but not impossible I guess... it may be a super frosty male, which would be awesome... but I don't know... it's weird looking... the trichomes aren't what's making me think herm, it's the whole make-up of it... it just doesn't look like a straight up male to me... the frosty parts look like buds, and are only in areas that buds would be... not all over where the more noticeable pollen sacks are... kind of looks like there might even be some visible pistils in the first of those pics too... if I found that in my grow room, I would likely keep it to breed with, but I would be expecting the offspring to show hermie tendencies. I trust Bodhi knows what it is better than I ever could, so if he says male, then I'll go along with that, but it's weird looking for sure... and not just because it has trichomes. If it is a stable and consistent line, it should be lights out in potency.

@SFnone
@JewelRunner

After viewing on a full sized monitor I totally agree with the odd looks. The first male on a phone looked like leathery leafiness with popped sacs to me. Those do appear to be pistils though. Fresh ones. Still unsure of the leaf/calyx formations. I have seen leafy tipped colas on low yielding females before so idk whats going on.

To be fair I wasn't so much wanting a critique of the pics as I was for the fact Bodhi is obviously generationally breeding Black Afghani & Iraqi and possibly is selecting for a stud male. Thats the hype.

DLA 12 had a few late term nanners. Around week 7 I think. Immature seeds in the lowers. None in fully developed buds.
DLA 5 & 7 were totally fine. Please note I only had 3, DLA 7 ladies.

DLA 5 was the only pack that had uniformity. The others had some variability. Not wild or undesirable.

Toots of The Maytals has been taken by Covid. Really sad right now.

Wife told me in the middle of watering my 4 topped and up potted Black Triangle which could be more vigorous with better roots. Just finished watering 6 extremely vigorous Guava Wookie at 11 days since planted. All 10 lean to very wide leaves so far.

May chop Lazy Lightning in a few minutes at 60 days, trich check is next.

 

[Nutbag Poster]

See i think it's the 88g13 male that causes that

When i ran the Tranquil Elephantizer remix years ago (another pack i grabbed in 2012), that was the first and only bodhi strain, up to that point, that i ran from seed that was a little unstable - not terribly so, but definitely unstable

and again - not every pheno will have instability, which is why some report it and some don't - but that's also not to say that you may encounter later instability issues with more runs under that strain/phenos belt

ive also never had any instability issues in any other snow lotus or appalachia crosses beyond the tranquil - so it's my belief that the 88g13 is unstable

I think that Tranquil Elephantizer Remix used the 88g13hp female instead of the male that's being used in everything now. That "Deadly G" female is supposed to be very G13 leaning as opposed to the male, which is heavily on the HP side. I'm not sure you can tie the hashplant male to that problem.

Hillbill hope one day your place of residence gets rid of the ridiculous prohibition rules so we can see pictures of your garden. Seems like you always have some good action going on. Keep up the good work!

Real recognize real. I dont always need a pic to prove ability etc. @hillbill is a great contributing factor to this thread. I dont think anyone would disagree. Im sure his plants look great like most of the members here that know there shit. He has my respect.

But ill agree on the pics id love to see but have all the respect for him choosing not to post. See you up on the hill one day lol...

@AdvancedBuffalo consider my strawberry milk f2 dead and gone. I have no space to waste! Thank you for the heads up. I have 1 I may try but chopped the others!

Happy growing!

Totally, wasn’t meant as a shot At him, more as admiration for his never ending garden. His reviews are on point and super informative., he’s half the reason why I got into Bodhi to begin with and that’s without a pic.
