bodhi seeds

[akhiymjames]

not one of the three seeds of gogi qm x snow lotus popped; i only had five seeds so i soaked the last two last night and put them in root riot cubes this morning. all five are in root riot cubes now and i'm wondering how long i should wait on them? it's been since the second for the first three and they haven't even cracked yet...

Never used the cubes but hear many people use them with success. I myself have really got into soaking them in water until the crack open. I usually soak em for two days just to be sure but some won't crack just cus some are hard to germinate cus of having a hard shell. I've heard of people lightly scratching seeds to help them germinate but I don't know what they used to help scratch the surface of the seeds

Hey @bigworm6969 how slow did your blue dream testers veg? Just curious if its me or something because these little ones are taking their sweet time. Most are still working on their 3rd node (topping em at the 2nd node for mainling) and they all were above ground by 12/19. Just wondering if the cold weather is messing with them or something.
It is 0f out right now and gonna be this way awhile, veg room is 66 degrees with 50% rh

I think it may be the G13/Hashplant as mines have been growing a lil slowly and I think mines are only kid way through week three of being above ground. But I'm seeing signs of them coming to life now. Sounds like those temps could be the problem too as that didn't even cross my mind about mines as temps outside have become the coldest all year this week but hopefully those pic of for you cus my Blue Dream is a fast vegging plant

Take this worth a grain of salt since never personally had to do it. But jorge cervantes method is to put emery board/low grit sand paper in a matchbox and lightuly shake with ethe seeds in the matchbox, have heard of people using it with success though
Eta also saw someone post pics of just straight up removing the shell and letting the embryo swim

There it is bro. Couldn't remeber what I read that said to do this but this is what I was thinking of. I've never had to do it but I cringe at the thought of scuffing my seeds but I know there are some there are very hard to germ so you gotta do what you gotta do. Hopefully I never have this problem but I soak mines long just to make sure they crack.

I just started 5 apollo13xsnowlotus beans but only 3 of the 5 popped.
I had them in papertowel for two days and the three that popped had 2 inch tails.
The other two have yet to pop. I have given up on em.

 

[bigworm6969]

im not to sure i would say they where avg veggers but the budz are literally rock solid very nice plant u wont be disappointed

 

[natro.hydro]

I know what you mean, the concept of intentionally scuffing my seeds, but to be fair I thought topping was fucking nuts when I heard that the plant will grow bushier if you snip the top, and sure enough lol.
And it could just totally be the temps since they are under led atm and they are not very warm running panels, but they go under my inda-gro 420 on friday so th should warm em up a little bit.

Instead of more blue Tara I found one seed in a blue tara bud it should be Blue Tara X Grape Stomper OG. We'll see how it turns out, the see is huge and black and is the only seed I found in the blue tara buds.

Hopefully I get a nice mix,

My blue tara smelled bbuttery an blueberryish while growing but is pure bubba kush after being jarred for a while.

I grew a blue tara x grape stomper that was made on purpose by Snodome. One of the hands down best plants I've grown. Didn't clone it but have 8 others I need to POP.

Beautiful, colorful grape-berry funk muffin buds. I'd pop her brotha.

She just got dropped in a cup of water Hopefully she is what I think she is.

I've had some good luck when popping "bag seed" from my own plants. All have been female and some have been REALLY interesting. An OG18 x Jabbas Stash was dubbed "apple pie" as it unmistakably smelled of apples and cinnamon.

I just harvested a plant that smelled like fuji apples when i cut it. Dryed to pine sol with the apple still in the smoke some.

I first started growing with an indica leaning OG bag seed I found, I fucking killed it before flower like a nub retard and still wonder what could have been lol. Haunt me forever that one will, I was paying close to 300 an oz at the time the buds were bomb. I am sure what ever it was would have been at least worth growing out and probably better then the low budget beans I was working with at the time.

LOL...I feel ya here. I used to treat plants like fine china. Topping was one thing....it took most all the courage I had to supercrop the first few times, but they always do great - even stems I broke and taped back together heal and continue onwards. Now I give it no thought at all. Good pruning and bending = more happy at finish.

Have you main lined a plant before, and if so was the juice worth the squeeze? I've thought about trying this but I keep coming to the same (possibly wrong) conclusion; The benefits don't seem to outweigh the drawbacks. No doubt you will get a nice percentage of primo tops to harvest, but the extra time spent topping, training, topping, training adds a substantial amount on to the veg time. In my perpetual garden I think I end up further ahead just growing the plants out au naturale.

What are the top tasting strains from Bodhi? I am thinking about trying to buy some gear from him and wondering what are the really tasty strains. I prefer anything OG or chemmy, and also like things that have a floral smell/taste, haze is also a great choice for me. Thanks guys.

 

[Mr.Head]

my TER has a great floral taste, it's my go to for joints. Wonderful flavour down to the last hit.

I'm really excited for TER, hopefully I'll find something I like.

Yield wise I can not really say since I have not done a side by side. Nor will I prob ever because it is a bitch to mainline a clone since they rarely stay in symmetry as far as branches. But the little mainlining I have done I liked, even if it wasn't the best strain for it, because it keeps everything symmetrical and clean looking. Not to mention the good support structure, and lack of larf on the bottom.
I will say that the best yield I pulled off the Space Bomb I was growing last year (smallest yields to date on a non 12/12fs plant) was the first time around when I mainlined it. pulled 2 zips per plant in a 5 gal. with a 45 day veg, mainlined for 8 tops, as opposed to 2 monsters I vegged for close to 3 months topped a zillion times in 7 gals. If you go for 8 there will prob be extra veg time, but I only went for 4 this time. FWIW though I will always be doing some type of training with atleast 1 topping, pretty rare a plant goes untopped in my garden.
I will post some pics of Lucky Charms in a few here when the lights kick on downstairs, she took to mainlining the best of all the plants this round. 4 nice top colas and a rigid support structure, although I will be putting a cage around her soon just in case. I am head over heels in love with this strain though tbh, dripping with resin, putting on weight better than the rest so far, and she reeks like cotton candy+skunk. Its hard to resist the urge to molest her buds every time I go in there just to get a whif lol.
