Nice! Used to be a solid outdoor blueberry in the berkshires back in the 90's, probably still there in some convoluted outdoor seed lines....I see pumice, rice hulls and cover crop. Keep us updated. Looks like a solid soil you got there... ill be here to tune in. No till like myself? Love seeing others that ventured into no till!
Side note. Was in mass today working and got a line on the real deal pre 2k Blueberry cut! Think he even has proof (genetic testing) Was asked if given don't hand out but damn I hope it comes through! I did however get the blessing to do breeding. Fingers crossed!
Happy growing!
i got some old souls too, extreemly big leafed and they are light feeders7 Lazy Lightning with tails are in the dirt in red Solos!
3 Old Soul at 43 days are bushy plants with nice branching for training but still compact, one leans slightly more Sativa in expression and another has extremely tight buds with crowded trykes. Pulled a nanner on one a few days ago, not seen more. These are sticky with a sour aroma with incense notes, woody.
Two Babylon Buster still “in the game” but not showing sex at 11 days but may very well be girls as 2 boys threw balls by the bushel several days ago.
5 Bing topped after first up pot to hot dirt in veg.
Your experience could be isolated, as suggested after reading this entire thread. I personally have grown over 25 Bodhi Strains from over 35 packs, including 4 Wookie crosses, and can't remember seeing any pollen sacks on females. And we stress them all hard during testing.Just wanted to pop by and update you all on the Wookie crosses since they have had time in the jar.
DISCLAIMER: I am not insulting the wookie dad. It looks like these just werent great pairings. I have heard very similar reports from other who have run these so.. Yeah.
The Granola Funk was jarred for 3 weeks. Smells are extremely muted with some moss/old shoe/slight spice notes. I thought the terps would be better on the grind but they werent. Taste was extremely basic, typical flavorless cookies cross with a hilariously weak and short duration high. This pretty accurately describes all 4 phenos that have been jarred for 3 weeks. Overall I think the hype on this one was driven by cash croppers because of the high bud density and yield. Based on both runs (24 seeds total) I will not be exploring this line further. Bodhi has much better offerings than this.
The Phone Home was also jarred alongside the Gfunk and developed to a much better point. Sweet vanilla-cake OG fuel notes are present on most phenos. The closer to TK things get the better the bud cured. Smooth velvety smoke with a sweet gassy vanilla inhale, not much on exhale. No real mouth coat. Potency is definitely considerably higher than Gfunk. Very good, uplifted, positive high with great duration and low tolerance buildup over time. This line was much better than Gfunk, but still didnt really warrant further searches through this specific line.
The nail in the coffin for Phone Home was late stage herms. Most developed sacks late in flower that were completely concealed by the buds. It was worse on the lowers. 60% of Phone Home plants had sacks. Some seemingly wookie dominant, some TK dom. IMO this cross shouldn't have made it passed testing.
More wookie leaning pheno
TK leaner
I cant understand how stuff like this passes testing.
If you haven't hunted these specific crosses, please refrain from commenting on them. Anyone with experience running TK or Forum Cut crosses would understand that the herms are coming from the mom and not the dad.Your experience could be isolated, as suggested after reading this entire thread.

To be more clear, I've grown 4 different TK crosses over 8 packs of Bodhi from the Ghash male, the OMG male, and the Iraqi male. None of them had pollen sacks.
Really hope that helps someone here.
How is that supposed to help someone? You have no experience with this specific cross. You are using your experience with TK x extremely dominant males as a way to call my experience an isolated event.The purpose of this thread is education. My experience might help someone.

Gotta go to work now. Good luck guys."I cant understand how stuff like this passes testing."

"You cant compare Ghash, OMG, or Iraqi TK crosses to Wookie x TK because they express in dramatically different ways."
Except AB is the one making blanket statement like “this should have never made it past the testers” when a quick search of the strains in this thread will show that more people have had favorable grows than unfavorable ones. Someone being a regular doesn’t make what they have to say right. Also the other poster was very respectful in their response.Respectfully, check your ego.
He has shared a lot of very helpful information and feedback for a long time in this thread. He is sharing detailed information about granola funk and phone home. It doesn’t require defense of other Bodhi crosses or even wookie crosses. You kind of inserted yourself into his grow reports attempting to discredit what he is sharing with the community.
If it was some one time poster with little to no pictures or forum footprint I’d be right there with you calling out the imposter. But he is a regular
I ran through 8 total phenos and 5 of them had sacs. I posted photos. Where is the blanket statement? All I see is a statement about a very specific cross with statistics and photos. I use single packs as genetic "tasters" to see if a line is worth sifting through. All Im saying is.. This one gets a big fat "Nope".Except AB is the one making blanket statement like “this should have never made it past the testers” when a quick search of the strains in this thread will show that more people have had favorable grows than unfavorable ones.

I'm just surprised because based on your earlier pics of granola funk it looked awesome.Just wanted to pop by and update you all on the Wookie crosses since they have had time in the jar.

FactsThe negative feedback on Bodhi crosses always seems to cause an uproar among people emotionally attached to their genetics and it can be a real problem.
I was so excited for it too haha. I thought it was gonna be one of those plants that maybe didn’t have too strong of a nose but packed a hell of a taste. I’ve seen that quite a bit, especially with hype/cookie crosses. I think that is 12 phenos that I have looked through and no plant has had standout qualities. Great resin and density, but I’m looking for smokers plants not growers plants.I'm just surprised because based on your earlier pics of granola funk it looked awesome.
We germinate 1500-2000 seeds per year but what the hell do I know?I ran through 8 total phenos and 5 of them had sacs. I posted photos. Where is the blanket statement? All I see is a statement about a very specific cross with statistics and photos. I use single packs as genetic "tasters" to see if a line is worth sifting through. All Im saying is.. This one gets a big fat "Nope".
I'm finishing up a 250 seed/140 pheno hunt right now and the TK x Phone Home is the only cross to show this issue. The cure characteristics are another topic all together though.
Ill be back with more positive and negative feedback. I think I have 4-5 potential keepers based on expression/smell so.. I look forward to the angry mob when I explain why I did not keep the other 135.
