Turpentine, Pine Oil, English Leather and volatile hydrocarbons and ripe berries. Complex and lively but hammer strong. My fave at the moment, 2 more screaming girls at 45 days. MonkeySkunk is in the house. My f2 Space Monkeys will throw nanners from time to time, MonkeySkunk does not. Never a nanner on Bodhi Space Monkey from Bodhi here.
Collected pollen from a big, fast strong boy! Froze some.

I’d like some opinions on a topic, and it’s a touchy subject.
Some Bodhi strains have great names and are absolutely worth keeping. But others have names that people don’t exactly connect with, and this causes people to overlook them if they are on a shelf.
On top of this, most of B’s crosses have so much pheno/chemotype variation. This creates a situation where my Soul Mate may be totally different than someone else’s selected cut of Soul Mate.
This brings me to the question: Is there any ethically appropriate method to which one could create their own name for a cut, while still displaying the breeder’s strain name and lineage? I use Soul Mate as an example because this is a name that just didn’t generate interest. It didn’t matter how good the bud was. It was never a first choice with buyers when they were presented a list of available cultivars.
So i guess.. Would assigning an official title to the cut be un-ethical if the breeder given strain name and lineage are printed on the packaging of the product? I just feel like the name “Soul Mate” completely misses the mark when it comes to representing the extreme pinesol leaning phenos I have found in those packs.
I have felt the same about granola Funk, garfunkle, etc. The original name “Disco Biscuits” was so much more fun than Granola Funk. Trash plant is waaaay better than Garfunkle.

1. Dank Sinatra/Granola Funk
2. Space Cake, just didn't do it for me; but everyone else seemed to like it...one of those not matching my own cannabinoid system things.
3. None
Just planted Uplift, Lazy Lightning, and Sunshine Queen, all 12 beans germed.
Last year I strayed from Bodhi genetics, just to see if anything else in my vault could compare.
Nope!

I always assumed your goal to be matching product to customer needs/wants, of which name is irrelevant.

I was also going to reply with Soul Mate AB cut...or something similar.

This is always an issue, I think if chemdog would have been called stinky sugar titties it would be all people smoked today. lol

I've wondered about this too. Soulmate isn't even such a bad name imo... kinda evokes an image of love and happiness. You've got names like DLA-6, OM4, Hashplant D vs. Hashplant 1... customers aren't going to have a clue. Seems like you'd have to add a least something to those names. You want to acknowledge Bodhi of course and don't want to look like you're "ripping-off" his genes and marketing them as your own. And your point about pheno variation is excellent too. Say you found a real oddball "cat piss" Goji OG pheno that's extremely sativa leaning and awesome but absolutely nothing like the usual. If you sell that as Goji OG and some people start getting unpleasantly tweaked on it and/or hate the flavor... it could kinda do some damage to the Goji "brand name" by confusing people about what to expect from Goji.
It seems like it might be fair to create a name for your product if you also add info about the "ingredients" in your product. It's definitely a good topic for debate.

Short answer, which your gut feeling is probably telling you, is no. renaming strains is a huge problem and has been. educating people and giving samples and or promos on good bud that isn’t selling can work. having good details on breeder taste and effects also helps. my feeling on name change is if you work it to f3 you’ve made enough personal selection that it becomes “your work” and the name could be changed, and this is even fairly touchy subject but other breeders have agreed.

Calling their cut of seedjunky's 'triangle mints', ' wedding cake' seemed to work for the jungle boys.......................

Local market is basically:
1. Grow your cut
2. Drop off at caregiver storefront
3. Post about it on Instagram and hope that word spreads and people like your product enough to spread word of mouth. Not a problem with Bodhi gear. It sells itself.
4. Get Banned on IG because announcing drops is against TOS
5. Make a new account and hope that 5% of your old followers find the new account
Naming strains is huge and sets a major first impression. Especially in COVID where you don’t get nose/eyes on the product until you pick up your order.
Budtenders are useless.

I agree soul mate isn’t a bad name if we look at it as just a name.. But when it comes to conveying what that specific cross has to offer.. I dunno if Soul Mate hits that chord. To me, it smells like a coastal pine forest and would be my go-to when hiking along our (Maine) coastline. The smell reminds me of the still, old growth forests that you find on the northeast coast and PNW.
And yeah. Some names are just totally cannabis-nerd-only names. And then you have the freebies like Cherry Sativa x SSDD. My cut is fabulous but there is no cherry to it what-so-ever. I’ve still gotta figure out what to do with that one.
I’m sure something can be done where it personalizes/describes/represents the cuts specific flavors and qualities, but retains the breeder information and name. Maybe assign a cut name as the prefix, and strain/lineage as the suffix? I dunno!

I’m not considering a name change. A cut of soul mate will always be clearly marked soul mate. I respect Bodhi (any anyone else’s gear that I run) way too much to even consider re-naming. I’m thinking more of like.. A cut name prefix.
Pheno variation is actually a huge issue right now. I’ve explored the local market quite a lot and most strain names mean absolutely nothing when it comes to terpenes and effects. It’s a huge issue if you aren’t familiar with the breeder or lineage.

That seems like the best way to go about this. Please don’t light me on fire, forum friends!

You better remove that strain name or someone will steal it. I’m being serious. That is on par with Electric Cowboy for awesomeness.Legend OG x Snow Lotus has no name....ill have to come up with one if she's a keeper....Legend of Lotus? idk about that...I like *Censored* something's gonna get named that someday
