Man, you've been providing insightful opinions, technical info and such for a long time...don't let a couple of recent douché bags run you off. I try hard to ignore that negativity I can't steer to a positive, but at some point I too go to that unfortunate crutch; the ignore button.
Have a great Sunday!!
Strain reviews are to me, are as much about the technical things as they are about how it made someone feel in all regards. On occasion where I have experience with the strain reviewed, I'm adult enough to handle a different experience from someone else. It's not like you said "I hate Gfunk and anybody who likes it!" Geeesh
Im kinda piggybacking off this post here. Please
@mawasmada dont think this is directed at you. You are one of the many awesome people who post here.
I appreciate all of the great people here, but lately the thread has been tainted with circlejerking echo chamber style shitposting and a large number of quality members have already left. Now we have individuals who's heads are stuck so far up their own asses to the point that they no longer mind the smell of shit. It has started to resemble a facebook group with the polarized posts and shit slinging. Children at recess. It has to stop or this thread will die. Forums are already taking a beating because of Discord and IG. No need to drive more people away.
For growers, I try to be an open book with new findings, run reports, positives, negatives, etc. For breeders I will give direct feedback as time moves on as long as the breeder is available to communicate. For patients, I keep them updated on hunting and run reports. Every step of the way I try to provide complete transparency and promote open information sharing. There have been a select few individuals who have been incredibly helpful and generous with their information sharing. I just want to reciprocate the acts that have helped me so much on my journey with the plant.
Regarding the "Is this information fabricated?" crazy talk.. I run a business in the medical cannabis sector and the information I share only helps competition. Financially, it could completely screw me over. I do this because the cannabis genetic sector is absolutely fucked and people need to know what seeds are actually worth running. We need expanded gene pools, quality selections, and selfless open information sharing to save the plant. Egos and clown shoes have no place in this process.
The more recent bodhi hunts have given me more negative than positive to write about. I wish that wasn't the case.. But that has been the trend. Old releases were dramatically better. These recent packs were
tested retail releases so critique is fair game and should be encouraged by growers and the breeder. Lying or keeping quiet doesn't do anyone any favors.
Now for some good news:
Electric Cowboy:
Room parameters:
84F
65% RH
Ambient CO2 open vent, positive pressure
1400umol/m^2/sec light intensity weeks 1-6, 1100umol/m^2/sec weeks 6-8, 700umol/m^2/sec weeks 8-9.
12/12 weeks 1-8, 18/6 weeks 8-9, now on 24/0 for re veg.
There was a massive screw up during the run where a breaker failed and both the AC and dehu shut off for 3 hours. The room reached 115F, 100%RH and some tops were annihilated. I just continued things as normal to see what would herm/nanner. Stress test, if you will. Nothing hermed, no nanners to be found. These phenos are just about as stable as they can get.
Irrigation:
Input EC @ 2.4
The rest of the irrigation data:
So far the only potential keeper:
No herms on all 18 phenos. 8 week finish on most, OG type structure, piercing OG kerosine notes alongside lemon vanilla hand cream. I cut a branch to test last week. It is some of the most potent bud that I have come across from my hunting. I have had Larry OG from a few locals and this has much more kick. Its dramatically more narcotic/body heavy than the typical ghash leaners.
Tons of people asked about the leaf curl when I shared this on IG so.. Leaf curl is a physical response to too much light. Plants do not have the ability to regulate their photosynthetic rates at the cellular level, so instead they will physically alter leaf shape and size to reduce total light absorption. This is supposed to be common with OGs so.. Neat. We have a low light pheno over here.
So.. I have popped 48 seeds from this cross so far. 12 last year and 36 for this hunt. The
keeper rate for this one looks like 1 in 15 or so for a decent OG leaning pheno, 1 in 50 for the jaw droppers. She smoked extremely well and she isnt even done drying yet. Cure should be nuts. Fingers crossed. All phenos test washed at a minimum of 3.5% WPFF return. This one is more like 4.5% from my testing. Live rosin is a real winner with this cross.
Passiofruit Hashplant was, for the most part, bud that didn't even get me high. For most Id recommend avoiding unless you know the lines and have a specific goal in mind based on the lineage. Based on the mom notes, it seems like it would perform better with a dad that has brighter tropical notes. There was a rank smelling sweaty pheno in there, but she needs a bit of breeding work to complete the flavor profile. The high was very basic with no feel good or nuanced qualities to it. Fruity stuff doesnt seem to play nice with 88g13hp. The OG crosses and DLA lines seem to be the go-to ghash crosses.
As always.. Information/Opinions are subject to change as the flower dries and goes through cure. More information to come as long as this place doesnt turn into a clown convention again.
