My one pheno (strawberry milk f2) leaning sativa no doubt. Not that this is a ton of help. @AdvancedBuffalo I THINK has hunted more extensively than me. Maybe he will chime in here. He knows how to keep a plant happy in his system as well so I would take his word on quality of flower as well over a less experienced grower. Also has done some Decent pheno hunts as well.

FYI, mine has not but I hear there is alot of hermies in these beans so if you run them make sure your environment is in order etc. Just my 2 cents going of what others I respect here have told me. Dec 30th ill be a full 8 weeks in and not a single bannana yet. I just got done going over the flower.

Unrelated but here is a LOW lower I forgot to lollipop off one of my dla 10.

Also as a big inkognytogenetics fan, this pheno of taco taco is stunning and I can't get a picture that will truly show how great it looks. Also have some of his lemon diesel dog that also look fantastic! Here is a lower shot of the taco taco.

Happy growing!
Sorry I’m not as active here as I am on another forum so I’m not posting all the updates to my rooms. Why does this matter? Because I’m starting to suspect that things just are not quite right when running a sealed room with zero air exchange. After thinking about it for a while, I just can’t see how 30% of Bodhi’s beans would herm in my setup, but then zero herms presented in the open vented room with Doc D seed stock. Either the Doc D crosses were much more stable (definitely possible), or elevated night time CO2/Ethylene stressed some plants out. Bodhi hasn’t exactly calmed my suspicions on his herm prone males since he recently shared a couple males that showed clear instability. Regardless, I will be evacuating the sealed rooms after lights out to avoid CO2 and ethylene spikes during dark hours.

No strawberry milk ever dropped pollen, just popped pistils out of clear staminate bracts/ballsacks. The real problem plants were the strawberry gojis, which threw balls and pollen like nothing else. My dad is running a cut of the "keeper" (it just happened to make it through the cloning process by chance) strawberry milk with no issues in an open vented space. It yields quite large, but it definitely doesn’t lean sativa. It’s a fat, large producing plant with low resin content and ends up smelling like rubber oily typical “gassy” cannabis. Nothing unique or exciting. The lower yielding phenos seemed to have much more of a fruit nose to them with great resin production, but I don’t want to grow popcorn.

That makes me a little nervous with these Dazzleberry's....i'll keep a good eye on them - they're still in week 1 of flower.....they're a little on the shorter and bushy side for my liking but we'll see what happens in the next 2 weeks....they're also right next to a Solo's stash which is a big stretchy plant and everything else im running (ogre kush, gelato mochi, phone home) is on the stretchy side (i like stretchy just not too stretchy) i didn't even bother running one of the Dazzleberrys because it was way too short and bushy - the other 2 aren't too bad

did anybody run strawberry goji here?
I ran strawberry Goji and had a few different phenos from one pack. The smoke was potent and flower was resinous, but none of them really stood out.

Honestly nothing from my last bodhi hunt was particularly unique or interesting. I think that has to do with the male selections that I ran. Next seed run I am going to pick up some Wookie crosses since there have been lots of reports on crazy unique terpene profiles with that male.

So far I have seen the best performances from the SSDD male. The hashplant male is great for introducing vigor and yield to existing elite cuts, but the end result isn’t ever unique or super interesting. Same with the snow lotus, but I do like the terps that it brings more than the hashplant. Strawberry Milk has been very lackluster in the 3 crosses and 1 pure form that I grew. Goji male doesn’t seem to work that well in crosses because it just has a slightly modified Tahoe OG profile.

Last one to really explore is the Wookie, and I have a feeling that I will be kicking myself for not running it’s crosses earlier.

Oh and purple unicorn is nice, brings good structure and vigor but the bud will definitely be weaker because of the male. Color will be nice. I’d say that it would be a great beginner smoke since the bud will be pretty, but the woody terps aren’t very attractive to new smokers. I can’t really think of a reason that an experienced smoker would ever reach for the purple unicorn over something with better flavor and potency. Beginner smokers will always reach for the sweet, purple, great tasting hype crosses before anything PU related. I just don’t think it has a place.

This is what the SSDD quad (4x4 plot) looks like right now. It’s stellar in ever way, just needs to be babied through veg because of early PM susceptibility. Bottom left are the Peach Hashplants that I screwed up with super high EC. Those will be washed since it is packing on resin.

Electric Cowboy looking pretty good for being totally under-developed during veg. Takes high EC better than Peach HP. Dumps hash like GMO. I think I will keep her around for a bit. The terpenes are good in the jar and smoke is great, but the real reason I will keep her is because of her WPFF potential. If she passes this trait on to her offspring she will get lots of use in upcoming projects.

Thanks guys!

Does anyone here have any updates/opinions on the Guava Wookie and Divine Intervention? Those are catching my eye right now.
Guava Wookie is loud and powerful with a broad impact on nose and taste. Mid size and easy to grow. Lots of Pine, Cedar and some Skunk from time to time. Herb of the “highest” order. Don’t even think, get you some!

I've run it before. Had no issues with the 4 females i wound up with besides some yielded poorly but my keeper was excellent in every way.

Will have pictures up in about 2 weeks of my space monkey results. What im thinking will be my keeper is very frosty (not quite as frosty as the SG) and was stacked. Big buds everywhere. Had some purple show up after a 3 day flush and 2 days of darkness.

I popped a half of a pack and ended up with three females. All three were different and I like all three.

Pheno #7 had dense smallish nugs lighter side of green with nice reddish hairs. Good green taste on inhale with a fruit taste on exhale that a friend described as a raspberry flavor.

Pheno #11 Classic OG flavor and look. Very light shade of green. Tasty OG flavor. This was the leafiest pheno of the three.

Pheno #12 Darker green and orange round buds. Nice density. Very nice skunky orange flavor.

All of them have good potency. I can't really comment on yield because I only ran them each once so far and 7 and 12 were in small pots of organic soil and 11 was in a 17 gallon tote with new batch of living soil. 40 x 40 tent with about 300 watt equivalent LEDs.

Hope that helps you out a little.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Quick word about Starflight Guava, I have 2 at 57 days flower that are fine and getting close to chop. But the quick word is these were subjected to over half my lights turning on for 30 minutes during lights off for at least a week, my fault, and they showed no ill effects. One Sour Bubble threw nanners for a few days and ceased after problem was solved.

Two plants just into the flower tent then threw 50/50 male/female flowers and some parts I have never scene. One was a Lemon Hashplant v2 from Bodhi and the other a Tomahawk from Greenpoint. Have run both before with no problems and great results but they couldn’t handle that lighting screw up just after switch.

Anyway, these Starflight Guava are a few days out and will say more then, looking awesome so far.

One more boy Cherry Queen which is 2/2, oh well!

Lol do you have a cat? Mine messed up my timers a few times so I bought digital ones. Before, he stepped on the ones you pop out.

Merry Christmas, Bodhi Army! Hope everyone has a peaceful day surrounded by loved ones.

Woke up early to try to post my butter recipe before the house wakens...

Since my butter is only for myself and wife, I only make a single stick (1/2cup) at a time. We've tried a million entrees and desserts and've found ourselves coming back, full-circle, to the cookie recipe every time. Our method might not win a baking contest but it'll help you sleep better and it does wonders for my wife's RLS (restless leg syndrome).

INGREDIENTS:
Approximately 1 oz of flower or 1.5 oz of quality trim
1/4 stick of butter
Just shy of 1/2 cup of ghee butter
Approximately 10-12 cups of water
1 packet of Betty Crocker premixed cookie dough
1 egg

TOOLS:
Large mixing bowl
Large pot
Rubber gloves (I like 5-6 mil)
Panty hose legging
32 to 44 oz cup with the bottom cut out
Spatula

INSTRUCTIONS:
  • Bring water to a nice boil and then reduce heat so that it's a slow, very low-rolling boil.
  • Add butter and flower (stir in material so that everything is wet).
  • Stir once/twice an hour for the first few hours and then once every few hours until extraction (I put on butter a few hours before bed and wake up a few times through the night to stir it).
  • Cook with this method approximately 8-10 hours or until plant material is shriveled and much darker colored than when cooking started.
  • Remove pot from heat/let cool.
  • Skirt panty hose (single leg) around the bottomless cup and pour cooled material through the cup and into the panty hose/mixing bowl.
  • Your mixing bowl should be situated so you can allow the water and butter to get through the panty hose but not any plant material.
  • Once all material is inside of panty hose, toss the cup and strain (I use my hands with rubber gloves) it as best you can (this is where the little bit of extra butter comes in handy - can't recover 100% of it; don't kill yourself trying).
  • As you strain the plant material (still inside the panty hose), you'll notice the harder you squeeze, the more dense/oily butter comes out.
  • When you've strained all the butter from the plant material, toss the panty hose and plant material.
  • Place container/mixing bowl full of water/butter into the fridge and give it a few hours to properly separate. When true separation has occurred, the butter will create a hard, solid layer on top of the water.
  • Once separation has occurred, remove the butter from the water and toss the water (I use a spatula and single cup coffee strainer).
  • Mix butter, one egg, and contents of cookie package together and cook as instructed via cookie package.

A FEW TIPS:
  • Try to set your boil so that it slowly evaporates the water (without a lid). It seems our most potent batches have been boiled ALMOST too much.. to the point the plant material almost burns because there's not enough water; I'll wake up too late because I'm cookie'd out (lol) and there'll be just tiny bit of water left with my leaf/flower material. The first time this happened, I thought I ruined my batch but went ahead and added more water and much to my surprise, we preferred this "overcooked" batch better than our regulars. Once you fine-tune this step, your cookies will become 50-100% better than using the traditional methods of boiling with a lid/water staying full. Also, I know I'm butchering this explanation but I'm trying to hurry to beat the family waking up.
  • If you have a hard time mixing the cookie dough, try mixing with hands/rubber gloves. If I use any utensils or mixers/beaters, it's pure hell trying to mix the ingredients.
  • Let your butter warm up to room temperature before you add the egg.
  • Add the egg and butter (completely mixed) to the bowl BEFORE you add the cookie mix (the last thing you want is monster clumps of egg and/or butter in your cookies). Not mixing the "liquids," first, will result in clumpy/yucky cookies.
  • We prefer unsalted butter but salted will work... the main thing about the butter is to buy the highest fat content available. I'm in the process of trying different brands of ghee butter, now.
  • Don't be shy to add nuts and/or extra chocolate chips to your mix, if you prefer sweets. Until you learn to make cookies properly, this tip can help with "green tasting" batches.
  • I'm sure I'm forgetting more... please don't hesitate to contact me (via PM), if you have any issues with this method.
I'm still playing with the ratios of ghee and regular butter. If I dial in a ratio I believe is optimal, I'll update everyone.

After thinking REALLLLY hard about it, I think DLA 5 (Deep Line Alchemy 5) and mixed batches (of 5-20 strains) have been my favorite Bodhi cookie batches. Like I mentioned, before, cookies can FLOOR you even when the flower doesn't.

Hope this helps some fellow members/readers with RLS.

Merry Christmas!
