bodhi seeds

[hillbill]

A lot of plants make small seeds. Other plants make big seeds. I have found no difference in any way except size and that is from sprout to chop.

 

[SNEAKYp]

Listen to the first Mean Gene potcast episode, he talks about how Afghan varieties put out big seeds. Very genetics based.

I popped some of Coastal’s Swazi Burmese that were super small compared to what I’m used to. Only issue is they didn’t want to shed their shell and I lost one seedling getting the shells up.

Have you tried joining Breedbay that's where his hardcore disciples congregate lots of great info

I just joined there after I saw Bodhi posting again on his threads. Went to look through the pack lists that some people have collected…Jesus Fucking Christ I think I saw at least 3-4 ppl with 3 packs of 50+ strains.

It feels like they aren’t even growing these things. What a waste!

They're collectible souvenirs.

Well kept seeds could be stored for 15+ years, I'd like to think of it as genetic storehouses for the future.

15 years ago people were lamenting they hadn't bothered keeping the strains that had existed 15 years before. Now we lament losing some of the genetics that existed 15 years ago.

I buy seeds to expand and conserve my pleasure derived from this plant. For me, it's a hobby that makes me feel good.

These purchases also help support a family that I admire, respect and are intended as full support of their continued labor we all love!

In my opinion, large collectors should be proud and not vilified. Just sayin.

I'm on the 2nd week of flowering these below:
DREAM AXIS (axis x ssdd)
CHEM1 x SSDD
ANCIENT OG F3 (aog f2 x aog f2)
*CONGO KASHMIR X GOLDSTAR F4
SOULMATE (pinesoul x wookie 15)
SPACE MONKEY (gorrila glue x wookie 15)
HOLLYWEED (hollywood pure kush x 88g13/hp)
BLACK TRIANGLE (tk x 88g13/hp)
REDEYE JEDI (skywalker OG x 88g13/hp)

I guess I have been down the rabbit-hole of working within my own genetics for a bunch of years... that's a main part of the reason I finally ordered some Bodhi gear, to get new blood in my stuff. When the Bodhi beans came 5 out of 6 packs were very small seeds compared to what I am used to with my own. I have had small seeds in the past but these were across the board tiny. I had always associated that with Sativa... anyhow just an observation. My average seeds seem much larger then most of the Bodhi beans I just popped.

Partial or full pollination affects the seed size.

 

[hillbill]

Not to sure that is even a “thing”.

 

[hillbill]

Many plants with narrow leaves have small seeds that are solid color, ranging from dark brown to light gray.

Fair enough. Supporting B is good karma.

When I see people collecting packs that were one-offs or no longer available and not popping them it just makes me wonder how many gems are being kept from people who actually want to grow the things. I get holding on to baseball cards and things like that…but these are seeds with a 10 year shelf life.

I think you have some good potential in these choices. I am mostly interested in the Axis Dream as I still have almost a full pack of those and haven't heard of anyone else running it yet. No female made it when I popped 3 or 4 the first attempt.

Just saw the new Bodhi collab drop with Green Bodhi. There's a shitload of new crosses.

Are these only available at coolbeans?

I hope that cannabis seeds stay viable for more than 10 years! AKBB said in interview he thinks they could go past 30 years under the right conditions. It’s funny if you google it a Dutch website comes up saying they last up to a year out of the fridge. I’ve had seeds in the drawer for 7-8 years and they all popped

I buy seeds
I'm on the 2nd week of flowering these below:

DREAM AXIS (axis x ssdd)

Any chance or posting some photos? I have much enthusiasm for that dream axis.

 

[YardG]

I popped a pack last year that I had bought 15 years prior (stored in a jar in various fridges over the years). I imagine there's always some risk of reduced viability so it probably does make sense not to push it too far, at least for rare or limited packs.

I am also curious how many of each you have going and your growing style?

The Dutch sites have quite the collection of convenient misinformation about their seeds.

AKBB also uses Gibrellic Acid to pop his older seeds. He’s one of the few that has mastered cracking older genetics. In general though, 10 years in the fridge is the lifespan of seeds.

 

[Livingblacksoil]

Super excited. Just ordered my first Bodhi packs: Cherry Trance
Strawberry Headband
Babylon Buster

Anyone having experience with these strains please speak up. Thanks.

Here comes a little bit of bro-science for you guys, well, it's my own personal experience in making seeds so I'm just going by my own data. Again and again I've seen that if you selectively pollinate buds, you end up with bigger seeds than if you had just dumped pollen over the whole plant. Last year I had a VERY nice Bodhi Banana Spliff male, after drinking a bit too much port one night I said F it and dumped all the pollen I had got off him onto a female Seedsman White Widow. Now I have a lot of seeds from that chuck and yeah they're definitely on the smaller side.
That being said, I have also noticed that usually sativas make smaller seeds than indicas. Again, all of this is just personal observation.
Man I can't wait to run that Banana Spliff X White Widow later this year
