bodhi seeds

Looks good! BBHP are the next of my Bodhi gear to get run. Are these currently under LED? Reason I ask is my plants were magnesium hungry under LED's.
Is that a magnesium def? Just wondering as I see it sometimes too.
Yeah I think it’s mg def that’s apparent in the mid leaves, dunno for sure, but I noticed it a week before flip and treated it the way I treat most issues when they pop up... by up-potting lol. I use the same organic 5-yr old soil, reamending it as per Coot’s recipe, or prepackaged KIS Organics Nutes. I rarely have noticeable issues regardless of strain. Because I didn’t treat it specifically I can’t say for sure it’s mag def, but since then new growth has been great.

@HydroRed you may be on to something re LEDs tho, I’d first blamed the issue on too much light as I’d had them closer and they were a little wilty on their top leaves, so I lifted the lights too.

So a couple variables, dunno exactly how but likely related. Either way it’s smooth sailing right now... except for the foot of snow I gotta shovel out of this morning!

I am beginning to wonder if it is just the luck of the draw on some of the f1 Bodhi packs we buy. The genetics are definitely there, maybe we need to find them? I have been interested in that Granola Funk, I see you are now running BBHP.

I posted that my own Blueberry Hashplant crop a couple years ago was absolutely beautiful, big yielders with major bag appeal, but the 5 females I ended up with were all sweet & muffiny, basically Blue Dream flowers on a Hash Plant frame. Kinda like what you said about the Granola Funk, really very nice, just not my personal preference.

I got no fire from the f1 BBHP females, BUT I had one male that was a different story the studliest male I have ever grown. You could smell him. He towered above the rest. I used it for a few SSDD & Gogi crosses that came out awesome, I also crossed it with a BBHP female (I posted that paper bag pollination pic) but I was not intending to run the BBHP & gave most seeds away,. Then I made hash with my remaining jars from the previous year. It made awesome resinous hash, consistency was perfect. I decided to run my last few seeds, theoretically for hash only.

This was late in the year outdoors so not big yielders, they were not near as pretty as the F1s & only had 2 females BUT BOTH these f2s ended up being the strongest smelling plants I grew all year. Loud pungent smells, WTF? I expected that to fade with the cure but they have not. In your face stuff, I love it. Sure wish I had kept some of those seeds.

Trying to figure it out, did I just not get any fiery phenos in my original pack or were these F2 something different...
My understanding is that Polyhybrids like most of the F1 genetics Bodhi puts out simply have lotsa variation potential, as Mr Sessions points out above. I’m certainly no geneticist but there’s a lot of diverse potential when you’re breeding from 4 differently-sourced grandparents, and honestly I’m surprised there’s not more variety in Bs F1 beans.

Dont F2s always more variation?

The Supernatural Selections should be more uniform than his main collection, right?

Back in the late 80's I had one strain someone gave me. I believe it to be some type of skunk. My buddy had Northern Lights, so we traded and grew them both. That skunk I had is widely considered the best anyone around here has smoked. Even now. It had so much trich coverage that I would store the buds in a tin and before long the entire bottom of the tin was covered. I used to scrape it up and smoke it in a bowl. One hitter for sure.

Fast forward a decade and I was growing again. I have been through some "nice" strains- mostly female seeds such as SLH, the various kush's, LSD, Mr. Nice, Vortex, etc. None of them produced the old trich piles I used to get, except one came close- Apollo 11.

I didn't know A11 was Bodhi at the time, and didn't really care. I grew that bitch for years and loved it. Then it was gone. I kept buying seeds, looking for that old favorite, or something like A11.
Then I stumbled upon this thread and was intrigued. I found the old seed packet of A11 and was somewhat shocked to see it was a Bodhi. Too bad it was long gone by then.

So, now I have a bunch of Bodhi seeds. There have been a couple that I didn't care for (probably didn't get a good pheno), but SSDD, Space Monkey, and Goji OG all produce that magical trich coverage that I believe rivals that old skunk. I realize some of it is looking through green colored glasses and romanticizing that old grow.

And, I have A11 back! It's just like I remembered and will be featured in my garden for years to come. So, I want to thank the folks here for all the valuable info. And to the guys who hooked me back up with A11!

With all the Bodhi crosses, it can be hard to come to grips with the fact that he produces some great genetics. I used to use that term "pollen chucker" to refer to people like him, with just an enormous amount of crosses. But now I don't think I'll buy from anyone else. And I get to test shit!

Here's to a great 2019 growing and sowing!!

nice impromptu reflector sheilds :p
the empire would be jelly
on a serious not those or gorgeous. so healthy. gg
Too lazy to paint it, lol. I only use this cabinet for emergencies and spare plants. I had another inspection at my apartment again, 3 in 2 months. I think they're selling this complex or something because both all were for the "bank."

So I had to hide the tent and pack the cabinet above. I'm thinking they just want everyone to move out or some shit, pestering us peasants.

If someone who actually knows what they are talking about wants to chime in, please do, but after a little more reading, I think cannabis folks are misusing 'f1', 'f2', phenotype, and all them other sciencey words.

An f1 is produced by two distinctly different parental types. So the Supenatural stuff with two stable, true breeding, and unique parents are actual f1s and display one phenotype, combing the characteristics of the parents predictably.

All the regular Bodhi (and most of the other 'f1' seeds on market) are polyhybrid crosses, not f1s, as the parents are neither distinctly unique from each other or true to seed, stabilized lines.

Maybe not?

I think you are on the right track. Bodhi uses polyhybrids.
But i dont think a true f1 would give you one phenotype. Ive been wrong before and Ill be wrong again though lol

Whether the outcross comes from a polyhybrid or not, the 1st pairing will be an F1. That would include an IBL x with another IBL = IBL1xIBL2 F1. As for phenotypical expressions, you will still find varying results within any F1, whether they are land race selections or polyhybrids. The matchup of 2 separate donors by itself creates this opportunity. I.e., years ago I ran Bodhis' mango biche x Kashmir and ended up with 5 distinct phenos with distinctions in stature, flavor, effect and finish time...

Hit the nail on the head with this statement. :clap:

My parents and aunt, uncles and kids and us have all produced several phenos in the f1 generation but we are all polyhybreeds.
