Hello guys,
I want to share some of my experiences with bodhi seeds. The last month i grew some of his work, so i come to share my experiences. Please excuse me if some sentence look weird, English is not my mother tong.
I grew 5 strain of bodhi : Terpenado, Black Raspberry, Black Triangle, and as freebies Goji B cut x SSDD and More Cowbell remix (OGKG).
At first i grew one pack of Black Raspberry and Terpenado. In both case, it's medium productive plants and a little long to flower (9-10 weeks). Very resinous in both case. Black Rasp is very Indica and Terp more sativa in comparison. Over the two pack, only one plant show the typical OG structure, other looks more classical.
About Terpenado, most pheno produce nice plant with acceptable yield, buds were dense (not ultra hard like some big og or cookie, but nicely dense). Smoke and taste on these plant were powder milk with light strawberry accent. Got two special pheno. One very OG with bitter mandarin / orange flagrance, small but rock hard bud. Not bad but i didn't kept her.
Another pheno was low yielder, medium vigor and poor branching with light stem. Not a commercial weed for sure. But the smell is incredible, very refined taste of strawberry / lavender / fuel. This thing stink so hard this incredible smell, and she produce a lot of resin, making her great for extraction. I grew her outdoor this year, and if my cloth or skin touched a bud, it stinks this beautiful taste for hour. Flower are also full of sugar, making the smoke smooth. Her con is that this taste strangely don't follow in the smoke. You open the jar and this taste is all around in the room, but when you smoke it you don't find it much in the fume. Strange but true. Not a bad smoke however, she is so full of sugar it stays very smooth. Also a word about the high : if i must give a note, it would be 10/10. I grew a lot of different plant over the years, from true crazy tropical sativa to pure indica, and some in between. This pheno of Terpenado have the perfect high in it's category. It's extremely relaxing, calming dreamy without being couch-lock, you smoke her and you just feel very relaxed and great, without any downside.
Black Raspberry now. I didn't kept a plant the first run, only got 4 plant. So i ordered two more pack to make a proper selection and finished with 11 females, i just finished the second run and put them in jar two days ago, so i didn't smoke them yet. I can tell you that there is jewels to find in this line. These plant are more Indica than the Terpenado, and the high is clearly more indica couch-lock with great potency. I got some different pheno over these two run, one was more OG with beautiful bud and some kind of gingerbread taste, one was more pine-sol and salty. But the ones that probably are the most frequent in the line, and probably the more interesting, smell like pure essence of lavender and absinth. Very ethyl odor, and i will probably keep the best of them. Also got two pheno that have a weird taste that remind me the coconut.
For the Goji b cut x SSDD, i started with half of the pack, started 6 seeds and got 4 females. I gave them to two friends that grow them well, pure organics and with air dome in 25 liters. But at the end i was disappointed by these plants. The 4 pheno grew like bodhi describe the ssdd "grew like og covered in crystal". It was indeed the most trichomized line i ever grew in my life. The plant was covered with trichomes, even the big leaf. However two phenotypes produces very small buds but with nice looking calyx, looks like peyote purple or other bubha. The two others have more regular buds, but overall the yield of the 4 plants was close to nothing... Buds had mostly 0 density, and the structure didn't make them produce lot of buds, so final yield for big plant in 25 litters was very disappointing. Again trichome production was incredible, when we cut the plant and move them to the table for manicure, it was like snowing. The table when we manicure was white of trichomes at the end. Last thing, the high was very very powerful. Taste of the final product was also so weird. She smell like hot butter in early flower, and get some more fruity accent later in flower. But the final taste with bud in the jar was disappointing. Two pheno were so rough, they smelled like smoked herring. One hadn't much smell. One was a little sweeter but not so much. When smoked they had this specific taste of pure trichome / skuff, the one you get below the sieve of your grinder. I guess this SSDD is great for it's amazing trichome production and incredible high, but production, density of the bud and taste are really not to my taste.
Black Triangle and OGKB x 88G13HP now. In both case it was very OG structure in all plants. Long internode with very small but dense and resinous buds. Overall the yield is low, even lower than the second run of Black Raspberry i grew side by side (and BR isn't know for her yield). As i harvest them recently (cut at 9 week, so 1 week before the BR), i have the time to try some pheno. I got only 4 black triangle to flower, and in the jar they taste rough, earthy, remind me the smell of asparagus. When you grind a bud, the real taste come, and it's powerfull. Hard to describe, like straight eucaluptus or menthol, but with this bitter floral flagrance. Also the smoke is surprisingly smooth, taste is hashy with this this particular taste. High is indeed pretty strong and indica type.
For the OGKB x 88G13HP, i admit it was surprise. One of my favorite plant i keep in my mother plant garden is a cross made by Spanish breeders call "brothers inc." : the "dark dance" (yah shitty name
). Genetically it's (Lemon Larry x Lemon thai x Deep Chunk) x Dancehall. When i made a selection of it there was a lot of excellent pheno with a lot of different smell, fruity salad, banana, malabar... but the pheno i was hunting was smelling like leather and lemon. On smoke it has this (very...) acid taste that invade all your mouth, like bitter berry taste or a bitter marmalade. Also like wild raspberry seed or currant (i call my keeper the "currant cut"). Got two Dark Dance pheno that smell this, one more citrus like pink pineapple, one more dark berries that i kept. And the funny part is these OGKB x 88G13HP taste exactly like my Dark Dance. Maybe a little more "hashy" and pineapple, like the first pheno of Dark Dance i didn't kept, however taste is 90 % the same with my keeper. I also made some hash, "fresh frozen" technics, so i freeze directly the manucure material, and when i open the frozen bag it smells pineapple a lot.
That's all for now
I still have two pack of bodhi to try. I grew two strain of both G13HP and Wookie, so i wanted to try the snow lotus. I also wanted to try more of bodhi personal breeding, not his male x some elite cut, so i take Superstitious and Snow leopard v2 (freebie). Currently i am trying other breeder stuff (Slap wagon from exotic, blueberry iced cream from redeye, and Skittleberry from alphakronik), but i will start these bodhi seeds when i finished.
