bodhi seeds

[Nu-Be]

F2 dank sinatra beans aplenty



but had to shutdown completely due to impending (forced) move.

Have you actually been given an extra pack for testing?
This topic was brought up on breedbay prior to it going down and most of the people I asked never received an extra pack for testing and even a reply email was rare.
I know the guys in the #circleofsharing seem to be hooked up pretty good but I’m curious now.
How many of you guys that have tested over the years got a pack for testing as was promised?

Thanks for bringing that up. This might be unpopular, but I think it's important for people to know that you DO NOT get a free pack in return for a successfully completed, logged, and emailed grow report of bodhi seeds testers. Only select coolies have gotten Thank You packs in the last couple years. Don't expect it, even if they offer it in email.

I hope that doesn't come across as sour grapes, because it ain't. It's just the reality. The bodhis have dealt with the serious illness and passing of members of their family in the last couple years. Their tester strains were free, and usually good. They've banked a lot of positive social capital in the community, so they deserve the benefit of the doubt and some leeway here. I think it's pretty cool to test, even if you don't get attaboys.

With all of that said, I'll admit I was a little disappointed that, after not receiving anything when being promised it several times in email over the last couple years, I saw multiple people brag here and on IG about their test reports getting rewarded with limited edition bodhi schwag and 6 packs of their choosing from bodhi's 10,000 strain bean vault. But, again, the b's have had it rough of late, so this is just how the cookie crumbled for me. Oh well. I didn't lose anything, and it's not like I need more beans............but....if anybody else does...see above.

I think honestly, just being selected as a tester is good enough. It means you're already getting free seeds!
If they do chose to send out extra packs that's cool, but I would probably just keep cuts of the originals if I could.

Looks like you hit the jackpot with the dank sinatra beans lol
I'd do you a trade for some Soulmate f2's if you're interested -)

Do you think maybe you just need to be more persistent to capture the B's attention and get those replacement packs? I'm still giving them the benefit of the doubt, that they're just treading water and sending out tester replacements isn't high priority.

A few Goji x SSDD got wet


This was an accidental cross from a few years ago, I still run the Goji mother and recently flowered another cross with the SSDD male and that turned out really well.

 

[FlakeyFoont]

I haven't been able to do any testers for a while, but when I did and asked for a pack for running a tester, Ms B always hooked me up, and sometimes with a little something extra.

I fell through the cracks a couple of times when requesting testers. A gentle reminder to Ms B was all it took to get uncracked!

Apparently, some folks have gotten pissed, and let her have it because they didn't get theirs. They're just a family band, and family takes precedent, in my mind anyway, so other things can get in the way.

They want testers, so don't give up, they've got the shit, lol!

I've been emailing back and forth with Mrs. B for the past few months; she's always been responsive to my emails, she's very kind. I've got two packs on the way: NL5 Pure X Wookie and Congo Kashmir X 88G13

Should be some fire in that cross even if the male wasn't carefully selected.

What are the effects & potency of soulmate?

What are the effects & potency of soulmate?

I'd say it's a very well rounded effect, as it hits both mind and body pretty much equally for me. The first few tokes does give a decent head high, which is followed by a mellow full body stone.
If I smoke some in the morning/day it really helps with anxiety, I can still be quite active throughout the day too, quite a creative buzz. But on a night it's also good for relaxing and sinking into the couch/bed with a few extra hits.

As for potency, I can't compare it to the Goji or wookie, or any other bodhi for that matter lol. This is my first Bodhi grow.
But for me it was a bit of a creeper, not initially a heavy hitter I thought, but very long lasting once the body stone had set in...

Writing this has got me salivating at the thought of it haha, I'm rolling one up

Quick question with all this testing being talked about. What is it that testers are looking for? Is it to see what quality is in the creation or cross, or to see if it is stable or hermies a lot? I would think that with bodhi most of his creations should be pretty good quality no matter what you get?

They would like for you to grow out the pack, and give full plant pics at maturation...noting any issues along the way...with a smoke report included...stability,structure, end product all factor into whether something will move to commercial phase....not every pairing will work as hoped, and testing helps to pare that down a bit....that's how Bodhi seeds has risen to where it is today....

Random ass question for you guys since you all seem really knowledgeable and I like this thread... How late into flowering can you pollenate a female? I got a really nice F13 Throwback (was a freebie from JBC) about 6 weeks into flowering and would love to cross it.

Around day 20 is best. At 6 weeks you likely will get white seeds.

Me too! I'll start a thread and update it often. Is it NL5 Purple or NL5 Pure? Either way I just got these in the mail today:

Well that blows.. was gonna say I'd be happy to trade seeds for pollen haha. Seems like it's too late tho.

Rosin - I think I remember you telling me you ran Bodhi's Soul Food before. Did you ever top them? I topped one last night and can't believe how much the leaves grew in the lower nodes.

How many weeks does Gogi usually go? First time running her....she is impressive. Didn't expect her to stretch that much!

Goji is crossed with SL right? I had a very sativa dominant Sky Lotus (Skywalker OG x SL) that went forever. Like a good 10-11 weeks flowering and prob could have gone longer.

 

[TheEpicFlowers]

First time running bodhi. I got a lanky Gogi, and a short and thick granola funk that is stacking nicely. The Gogi looks like she might have some legs to her... just looking for a bit of input from some one that has experience growing her.
