Here's another interview. Posted it a while ago but this thread moves quickly. It's a two-parter, can't even count how many times I've listened to it lol. The Mean Gene, CSI Humboldt, AK Bean Brains, Karma, Breeder Steve, Duke Diamond, True, Matt Riot, and Skunk VA episodes are also really good. Heavy Dayze makes a great interviewer as he is quite knowledgeable himself.

We just received some test results from some Love Triangle flower grown by a local grower that came in at 23% THC. The grower didn't do the best job growing it but it still came out pretty good. It's all about what you grow and how you grow it. If you're a poor grower, you'll get poor flower. But don't lose faith, keep learning and try try again. Eventually you'll get it.

Here's some God's Paintbrush @38days. Smells on this one are pretty wild with sweetness. Like one of those starburst candies.

I want to thank everyone for the heads-up on GLG's BOGO! Grabbed some Dragon's Milk and Terpenado, with 2 Soul Mates for the freebies.
This is my first order with GLG (my money arrives tomorrow). I've got 8 Space Monkeys and 7 Lemon Hashplant v2 (all unsexed yet) in the room, so it'll be a while before the new ones get popped.

Why is this? If dispensaries are selling clones and not bud, why not find the one with over-the-top funk and smaller/medium yields? I usually have my favorite plants picked in preflower because I look for the funky ones. If they don't have the funk, then pass them on... Also, I'm buying 2x of each seed pack, that's more effort than the dispensaries are putting in, and I'm just running out of my garage. Maybe I should open a clone store and give respect to Bodhi's gear. I would LOVE to run seed packs for a living, just imagine!!!

To be fair, growing better bud than what dispensaries have to offer isn’t that hard. You just have to care about what you are doing. Most growers in this industry are more focused on their bottom line rather than the quality of their product. That means they select for frosty, heavy yielding terp-less phenos. There is a reason hype strains are mostly polyhybrid frosty flowers with lackluster terps. The yield is great and the buds are dense and tight. They run through machine trimmers really well while still maintaining that bag appeal. They finish flower in under 8 weeks and grow well in a tight trellis setup. It’s the industry formula.

Quite literally anything that deviates from those standards is bound to be better. Grow something that is the opposite spectrum and you may have a lot of work/selection in store for you. But if selected correctly, it will make even the hypest of hype strains look like poo.

The problem with a bodhi strain style clone service is the lack of hype. Your potential customers are already inoculated with poly hype, and it will be hard to peel them away from the Purple Cake Punch MAC Cookies that gets them so many likes on their Instagram page. I bet you would slowly build a dedicated customer base, though.

This is exactly what I was planning on doing. Sending the sweet phenos in for testing. Is this an orange one?

Here is a Bodhi interview(only one that I know of) and I thought that I would share. Adam Dunn is the jackass giving the interview and he is completely jealous because Bodhi Seeds > T.H Seeds. Watch him through a fit because Bodhi does F1 while "to be considered a respectable breeder" you need to do F6 or higher. Anyways, I always pictured Gandhi when I thought of what Bodhi looks like. Nope, more like Jack Black...

Thats seems about right. I just got some Black Triangle and Golden Triangle tested and they both came back at 21%.
And they were heavily seeded too

This is the truth. Every word... not hard to do no, but when you find special you know it imo. Many here, us closet growers alike would smash dispensaries quality by a mile.
Having said that there is a few respectable outfits that put in work (staff that cares) and often a home grower that has it down to science. I often find a 17% strain with crazy Terps to be much better buzz than a say 30% this that or the other. Thc means less than some think. Jmo but terps have a BIG effect on high. No hype strains in my garden. Just a few old gems I keep around like the sour d, mass super etc.

Im up in Maine and our caregiver program really gives independent growers the opportunity to grow amazing stuff on a slight macro scale. It’s really awesome. Though most are running hype (buyers demand it unfortunately), the quality is pretty good. You see a dramatic drop in quality when things go large scale, and we are just starting to see that with the introduction of rec. Dispensary bud here is straight corporate garbage. Rich suits only look at numbers and don’t look at long term growth and customer feedback.

I really don’t see a reasonable way to apply economy of scale to high quality flower. Since quality is linked to resin production, it poses a huge problem for corporate bud. Sticky, resinous, delicious bud is not at all friendly to large scale grows. Everything sticks to it, it’s Susceptible to molds/microclimates in the bud, and it gums up any processing equipment you try to run through it. No matter how you slice it, good bud is always a labor of love.

I could not agree more! I like my buds sticky! Speaking of that.. have any of yall tried brush trimming? I'm a dry trimmer. Imo most of my leave type shit is brittle and should fall off with a brush. The buds are always spongy but dry (stem snap) but always sticky. I know my pics suck but quality should be picked out in some of my close ups (I hope lol). I spent 24.99 on a basting brush on roids and feel dumb but also intrigued lol... I'll keep ya posted if a pos! Figured I'd ask anyway!

Happy growing!
