bodhi seeds

Oh man, that's terrible!

ETA: Yeah, from what I read online it sounded like first class has been running normally, but Priority is mega-delayed.

After sending a regular envelope on the 22nd, it made it to GLG just fine in two days. They promptly sent the package out, where it apparently sat idle in the Clio PO for about 3 or 4 days, before the brilliant idea to send it down to Detroit, for shits and giggles, I guess, before bouncing it back North of where it began in the first place.

Meanwhile, last week I had contacted The B's about the possibility checking out some interesting looking testers...

Long story shorter, today was almost like Christmas! Got some new Bodhi gear for a sleepy indica hunt, some fun sounding Schwaggy Chems to hunt through, and the testers, which came way quicker than I expected...

Unfortunately, they came through mangled all to hell! I dumped the bits and dust into some water, but I don't have very high hopes for germination. It's almost like they ran the beans through a flour mill... Absolutely pulverized... I must warn you, some of the following images are not for the faint of heart. View with caution! Lol

Regardless how bad they may look, testers and new beans are all getting some feet wet, so let the hunt begin!

Ha! Right on, thanks for the positive vibes, I hope you're right!
I'd be just fine with 1 good female leaning to each parent, and a good Monkey Paw leaning stud, in case the universe is listening ;)

Damn that sucks man, I got my mail today and had a few crushed ones also but should be ok. Hopefully the keepers were also crush proof.

Man, we must've gone through the same Mangler of a mail sorter... Glad yours came out less mangled. Good luck with them!

1/2" Pex tubing sliced thin... as thin as your beans are "thick". I didnt invent this method of protection but I do endorse it. I have used this method to send beans all over the world for under $2 in a coin holder in a plain white letter or card envelope for (as many beans that will fit) usually around 10-12 max. You can get bigger Pex (this is 1/2") but it may/will jump the postage. Get some Nickel coin protectors and... you are off to the races! Easy-peasy. As far as cutting you can do it many ways... I use a nice, new blade on my chopsaw and I'm fine... I hope this will "save a bean" here and there... it's not production work but it could be... it all comes down to how much you value what you are sending with love.

Super sorry to see what happened to you guys. Super sorry mine turned out that way too. Pretty sure there aren't any survivors in here lol. I will probably see what weird things in my Bodhi stash I can dig out for this summer. Good luck on your testers!

Keep in mind that if your envelope dont fit through the 1/4" "guide" at the post office... you will be taxed/charged. Also tape your coin holder to a piece of paper in the middle (top to bottom) right under your "TO" address so that the machines that process dont fubar your beans... the machines "grab" and process your envelopes and cancel the (top) and process the (bottom) and will crush if not protected in these areas. If you use a chopsaw PLEASE get your clean and new blade up to speed and cut SLOWLY or you will fragment the Pex and get a decent scare if you havent done this before. Sorry for the ramble, I just smoked some GSD and its realllllly nice!

Aww, that sucks... Yeah, somebody needs to loosen the rollers on those stamp machines, or something. They're brutal!

Mothers HP 6 weeks into cure. She smells just like vanilla yogurt. Pretty incredible actually

You aint kidding, man. My mother's HP has a little bit of a fruity smell when I open the lids, but that first hit is crazy vanilla tasting. Vanilla frosting or a vanilla milkshake is what I taste. Some buds are so terpy, they can be a bit fakey tasting, almost too much. But I'm not complaining. Bud with terps like this makes me want to pull the trigger on a rosin press.

This Tiger melon x ssdd lacks a little in flavor and smell, but is racy AF. Great daytime smoke while getting some stuff done. Not a good nighttime smoke for when you stupidly decide to start watching The Walking Dead series during a pandemic :lol: 6 week cure

I'll optimistically say that all is good with testers already heading back this way. If it's as fast as last time, but less crushy, they should be swimming in a couple days. MrsB is on top of things!

So, running with this idea, but more repurposed, and less saw work, I thought of these... Easily sourced from most bottles, shouldn't add too much weight, and hopefully strong enough to protect the beans.
I brought the idea up to Mrs B in my thank you email, but I dunno if they drink enough bottled drinks to keep up with the outgoing mail lol

I recently pollinated a SSDD on two seperate branches with two separate batches of pollen. One Space Monkey, and one Deadlights(TGA CBD Sativa influenced variety). The finished seeds definitely look different with the Space Monkey being somewhat larger. I spaced the pollinations apart slightly, but i'm skeptical that's the cause of the difference. A question for the books or experience.

Most definitely, in my experience, the more sativa landrace-ish one of the parents, the larger the seeds. I take Bodhi/gooeybreeder approach of having a champion and crossing a range of other plants to it. The seeds will often have the same general shape (rounder vs oblong), but they may vary in their stripes or mottles, or size etc based on who the father is.
