bodhi seeds

[TonightYou]

I know I'm gonna get killed for this,but all I see from bodhi , are crosses that are made with famous clone onlys and a male is used to pollenate 10-15 different clone mothers then that cross is discarded and the same process is repeated on the next run just made with a different male. If any other breeder had done this he would simply be called a pollen chucker. He must come out with Atleast 50 crosses a year and it's almost always one and done, I rarely ever see him work a line, now he says he lost his appy male so what's gonna happen is he's gonna pick another male and make 20 more crosses to release

I aint going to slam ya. Who wouldn't want to use amazing cuts in a breeding program?Its called preserving genetics. Second Bodhi has a few studs he uses just like many other breeders do. If you know x male will passnon certain desirable traits, why wouldn't you use them. Bodhi also travels to gather landraces, which he sells (Malawi, Watermelon hashplant, and arbu just to name a few). Finally Bodhi also works his lines, goji for instance is at least an f3 at this point if not further. The dude does a lot of work and produces limited stock. He isn't breeding like Dutch companies.

I'd say try him before ya knock him. I'd love to see a plant you have looking as good as my girls at almost week 5. Shit look at my g13 chocolate heaven, same conditions and time frame, no where near the same quality. Some special beans my friend.


Eta the guy isn't lazy like other breeders, making s1 and fem only ceeds. Besides who you recommending?

I understand that he uses top clones to cross with as do almost all American breeders nowadays, I understand that he picks certain males to pass on specific traits, as do other breeders, I just see it as hypocritical to call others pollen chuckers and elevate bodhi to sainthood for doing the same thing. I understand that he has worked some of his lines and also brought in some land races, but for the most part he does what every other breeder does and that's crossing they're favorite pollen donor, wether true males or reversed plants and pollinates an elite clone with it, he then says that they are limited releases and he is done with the cross, I feel he is given a pass for this because he is always on the forums and comes off as a nice guy to the community, however being a nice guy doesn't make what he is doing any different than what Swerve, Gage Green,Rare Dankness, or DNA are doing.
The appy male that he uses now on at least 10 crosses is a male from H&L as it stands

... again his genes and parental selecting speak for them selves. I'm not elevating the dude, I am giving him props for providing access to killer genetics. Again I'd love to see an example of what you think is bette, again look at my beauties. Not saying there isn't more awesome genetics from others, but credit where credit is due.

Eta I've grown DNA,/RP (5 different strains )while good, not even close in quality, vigor or consistency. That's why I dumped all my DNA/RP to fill my garden with bodhi. Why grow lesser quality Medicine?

since I'm not doing a journal, I figure I'll just update my bodhi gals in this thread. I keep obviously a gro journal for myself, but that has more to do with notes, growth patterns, harvest dates and what not, feeding schedules. Plus I just feel like I make a shitty Journal as id probably lapsefor a few weeks this is less pressure

i have a choc heaven thats plain boring, and not even close to choc thai times haze lol what a load for a strain! back to the scheduled programming....nice bodhi porn tonight..

My Blueberry Hills turned out nicely also. Have lots of cuts of the keeper and its chem heavy with very little berry smell at all. Crusty as can be, nice plant.

Good to hear. I love me things chemy. I'm excited for her. How was the yield? Mine is looking pretty promising.

Silver mountain monster bud pheno.

View attachment 2869811

no perspective il get one when its finished of it next to a chair or something so everyone can tell how big it is, its silly.

 

[Clankie]

first off, i love hearing the complaint that is basically "all he can do is pick awesome males and knock up legendary elites witb them." the problem being? picking male plants is not easy, and excellent males arent lurking in every pack. i have maybe run 300 or so different plants (including culled males) in the past year and found 2 that i found promising enough to collect pollen from. i know people who grew out 1000+ beans looking for an exceptional pollen donor. they aren't easy to find, and bodhi has worked with a few (snow lotus, appalachia, GHASH, instant karma, purple goji f2.) he also has used RKS, Ortega, and old school Northern Lights males. bodhi's methods are to produce strains with one male per batch, and then his next male, and so on. if, for some reason, that bothers you; well, buy beans from someone else, its your loss, not mine.

secondly, HGK, that bud looks enormous. you said your silver mountain were all very potent, is it just the taste/smell you found dissappointing? i've never had the cut that bodhi uses, but that has actually always been my complaint about SSH.

 

[HGK420]

ya so far its all thumbs up potency/looks wise. frost monsters that my most seasoned patient said "kept him in a haze all day!" these next 2 smell ALOT better then the first 5. so far they have all been very unique too.

hey all you bodhi fellers (and ladies!) come check out my new bloom routine i got going for this next rip.

https://www.rollitup.org/nutrients/742748-am-i-missing-anything.html

probably gonna be making the big jump to all TLO finally after this run. finally got my compost and soil mix all dialed in. in the meantime im trying to make the most outa this last hydro run. now ive already purchased/had laying around all the ingredients listed.

like the thread says, can anyone think of anything im missing?

OK then explain to me why people consistently get better results with his gear than other American breeders bar one or two. Higher female to male ratios, more keepers (at least one per pack mate), insane vigour, fast flowering, huge yields, insane frost, the fattest root systems I have ever seen etc... And how does he get it ALL THE TIME?
Why, if he does what everybody else does, does he get results that are so much more badass than the rest of them, consistently? I have not read one grow report where it didn't all kick ass.

Put your money into a pack of seeds and see what the fuss is about. I can guarantee you will be won over from the first week of their little heads popping out the soil. I did it, and that's what happened to me.

Your garden looks great bro. The jump to living soil is easier than you think, you will LOVE it as it gets kicking. Seriously just go for it, as long as you've got your base soil right and you watch your pH on your teas that's 95 percent of it. If you've got it limed enough and cooked for 6 weeks you don't even need to watch pH any more. Run one little pot of it along with the rest, it will set your mind at ease for when you switch over...

I also used to run hydro and have since done the last few years running organics with beneficial's. Its easier than you think and a long time ago I stopped using my ppm meter and ph pen. Life is much easier and now I have time to do other shit. Also, homemade "airpots", lol- more like I drill 100 holes in each plastic container, cheap but its a do it yourself trick that I have found works well for me. Best wishes, good growing but don't forget some Floralicious for some tasty nugs. To me it does make a nice difference.

Looks like my ssdd is going to go 10 weeks.

Ah thanks for letting me know, got three of them and while its not a big deal the extra week I was hoping for 9.
Are you noticing some bulking up?

 

[Malevolence]

The past couple weeks have been pretty decent swelling, but right now I have just been feeding straight water and watching them ripen. I also like my trichs a little on the amber side. I only got 2/7 females in this cycle.

Ah, thanks for the info. Will have to give you some rep when I'm on my non mobile devices.

floralicious + is maybe the single greatest supplement on the market, no matter what your method and medium are. 1ml/gal of plant ecstacy.

Love the Bodhi thread! Can anyone speak on the overall ease of cloning from Lucky Charm strain? My clone success is always so inconsistent, with Female Seeds C99 being the only awesome cloning strain I've had..(I used jiffy pods with a humidity dome and and heat mat, clonex, the whole nine yards) Thanks!
