You're here contributing, you're accepted. Yes, my lack of knowledge keeps me from using fems anymore. I'm ok with that. I like the gamble, and the thrill of the hunt with regs though, I don't have massive space either.You know i am a scientist by formation, vegetal biologist i must add... and i am tired of ideology over fact that i see in every community. You know when you try to enter a community and you must blindly accept all it's ideology to be accepted, but personally i prefer think by myself.
Of course i respect the fact that reg are the true natural thing, i will never ask to offer only fem of course, but we should have a choice. That is one of the two thing i dislike with bodhi : stick with reg by ideology (that i do not share), and the fact that his male are not stable enough (except the g13hp of course that is ibl). Of course bodhi don't sell expensive seeds, also by idelogy and he has really great thing, that is why i support his work. Also he seems to start to offer stabilize line as male, like the purple unicorn (i will receive the F5 soon)
But honestly male are real pain in the ass for people like me with limited space in one of the most severe country for growers. So yes male are a waste of time and space.
Fact is fem have bad reputation because a few tards make them with hermie, but honestly STS is not hard to do and no hard to use either. People with no knowledge will stick to the "fem suck, it's full of hermie, compare to reg that are stable and potent" for absolutely no reason or real argument. It's the kind of guy that will say "when you cross a full sativa with a full sativa you will get a 50%, if you cross again to an indica you get 25% " or this kind of nonsense.
Fem won't produce more hermie and the pollen produce by the reverse plant is exactly the same except it could be only X and never Y. And also breeding with female only is so better, you can smoke the female but you cannot smoke a male (well in fact you can but it is also not "natural"), this make all the difference with the selection of your parent... Of course you will say "it's the knowledge of the plant and it's the skill of the breeder to select a male". Of course it's true but it's so much easier with the fem way.
Another example of stupidity is the hate for S1, when it's a fantastic tool for breeding. People think S1 is some kind of waterdown shit, "not the real deal" or something alike. I won't start a genetic lesson but as you know the best way of doing breeding is to cross two stabilized strain, so when you make your F1 you regain the hybrid vigor and get a true stable F1. So if you want to stabilize a line for breeding you can win many generation of stabilization by working with self-pollination instead of the classic F1 F2 etc. With self you will remove 0 to 50% of the genetic material of the mother at each generation, so it is so great to remove the trait you do no want and most import, remove the "hidden" recessive that you don't want...
Happy growing with that Purple Unicorn!
Edit: I prefer to think of my resistance to S1's and fems as simply different than some,
not "stupidity".th6_s6t6nist

I wasn't speaking of here specifically, i was just saying every community has its own ideological purity, and many in the cannabis community in general seems to hate fems for no valid reason, that's my point.
After as you said it's all a matter of choice, and i disagree that bodhi remove us that choice by ideology. I like to phenohunt too, but with fem i get more female so i make a better selection
Anyway, i cannot wait for the purple unicorn... i will grow them outdoor in a greenhouse. Will reverse the best female and cross her with some selection and elite. I have an incredible elite cut of bubblegum ibl for years that need love

Ahh the Bubblegum. My home state bud. Now in Michigan, but I've many encounters with Bubblegum.I wasn't speaking of here specifically, i was just saying every community has its own ideological purity, and many in the cannabis community in general seems to hate fems for no valid reason, that's my point.

I don't remember the whole story about this cut, but it's suppose to be a serious bubble selected over 100-150 female by a collective of growshop, maybe 10-15 years ago. It's a skunky sativa pheno that look and grow like the uk cheese with less vigor. Cloning is a pain also. But hell nothing can come close in term of terp, it's a shame i couldn't test her.

Please keep rattling on hillbill. You check out a lot of stuff and I always enjoy hearing your impressions. In fact, if you ever had the time and inclination, I'd love to hear you give a rundown and quick impressions of all the Bodhi stuff you've tried out. Seems like you have a strong basis for comparisons within the Bodhi catalog.
Same goes for all of you Bodhi vets! Summaries of your experiences with a variety of Bodhi strains is very helpful in figuring out how Bodhi's genetics play together.

An unexciting veg pic from my Garfunkle that is 6 weeks old. Topped once. Got 1 female from 3 plants, and I’m thinking it is the short pheno mentioned by @reallybigjesusfreak in his tester write up (trashplant is such a better name!)
Very squat, tight node spacing, nice general ”weedy” stem rub. I’m feeling good about the potential here. Also saved a cutting from a male to play around with later on.

Peak Seeds BC is a fave for long time. Also used several of Greenpoint Wild West Series with Stardawg male. None of these super poly hybreeds type breeders are exempt from hermies and nanners. My current exploration is with Wookie 88G13HP and Old Mother Ghani male strains of Bodhi. I do some chucks which is good since I do small trained plants.

How's the OMG do as father in crosses?
There is a great review of pillow book on higherthoughtguru If anyone wants a to take a gander. Wish he did more reviews, they are thorough and complete.

I found this little library of notes stashed away while digging around for some info on second base. I feel like this is one of the more complete lists of early bodhi that I've seen
(Headies has a few second bases left and glg had some strange brews earlier today as well)
Dude! I had this saved on my old tablet and it died. Looked for this a couple times to save again and gave up on finding it. THANK YOU! I dont know how many times I've read this but will do it again tonight, love it, good stuff.

Keep us updated, please! Not a lot of info out there on Lazy Lightning.5 Lazy Lightning planted in red Solos with 1/2” tails after 40 hours in Viva towel. They will share the rid3 with my own Chuck of Space Monkey x Sleeskunk (DNA) which I vape right now
