bodhi seeds

I grew a few BOG Sour Grape last year. Reading around it looks to me like people are pretty into that strain, for me it really didn't work out, not sure what the issue was but it was blah tasting (other plants worked out awesome, but it's always possible it was some screw up on my part). The good news is it made killer edibles, which I suppose is bound to happen when you put a QP into a pound of butter.

@Nu-Be … What are you smoking these days or do you just like to poke fun at people from a distance these days? You’re upset that some people ask for something in return for their work on other platforms? Bodhi was stoked in the comments.

I'm sure I'm hamhandedly wading into a josh-fest amongst friends or something, but it seems to me we heard from Nu-be a lot more before people started riding him about his opinions on this topic. He posts other places maybe he doesn't appreciate it (res ipsa loquitur)?

Did you notice a lot of pollinators attracted to the male plant?

Not really. Only bugs I saw on plants this year were stinkbugs and bud worms.

Please if you would elaborate? Thanks. What did you dislike about Dragon’s Blood? Or was it DB HP?
Effects
Flower time
Yield
Potency, etc.

It's the V2 DB.
Effects are low, somewhat of a boring pure indica dom buzz.
Yield, above normal for Bodhi, dense hard orange bud; as described here by another member.
Flower time, I don't count days; the microscope is my guide...70% cloudy and 30% amber trichs.
Potency, I threw it away; and went to a dispensary for the first time in my entire life.
The freebies were better, PU X SSDD.
My cultivation methods haven't changed in 5 years, and this isn't the first problem w/Bodhi; but it is the last.
Granola funk, Old Soul, Uplift; these strains were all good...they should have stuck to those.
Also, I ran 3 red lotus last summer, 2 of the 3 grown side by side lacked trichome production; in spite of my boosting with additional UV/B X 2 hrs. daily. The above 3 strains mentioned were all better in every category.

You got a pack of seeds that didn't work out the way you hoped and you've completely flipped your Bodhi support into a hot take calling him a careless breeder.

Not every cross is a home run and not every cross will check any or all boxes for every person. C'est la vie.

When it doesn't check any boxes for anyone, places such as this are the only option for complaints; since they don't even have a website.
I now have Bodhi up against 2 other breeders, in several months we'll know who's on their game; and who is not.

If you liked those strains, You should have stuck with them.
Perhaps you should breed your own seeds, since you are an elite dank master, bruh. Quit messing around with these amatuer hour clowns.

Hard for me to imagine throwing something away homegrown in favor of dispo flower, but okay.

How many plants-worth did you toss?

There's no shame in posting a negative review of a strain or that a particular strain didn't work for you, but shitting all over a breeder and his reputation because of that experience seems a little much.

Bodhi releases crosses that can be used as building blocks for other breeding projects just as often as he releases crosses where he'd consider the F1s to be the end goal. None of this is carelessness or sabotage...he just plays to his own beat and people either vibe with it or move on.

It's been said before in this thread and bears repeating from time to time...Bodhi seeds are for people who either like the hunt or at least don't mind the hunt. Some hunts have awesome results...others not so much.

With all that said....Both Uplift and Old Soul are showing in stock at GLG. If those checked your boxes (as you implied they did), maybe buy a few packs for larger runs and find keepers.

Right on point jdoorn, Bodhi provides a great forest to hunt within. Here is an ancient OG F3 it's taken a while to take it to F3 with my other projects but here she is.... No topping or bending, wanted to see it's natural growth. Can't wait for this to finish! Also my last 6 mother's milk are above ground and headed to F2....thank you Bodhi for providing GREAT hunting grounds!!

RIP Space Monkey October 19, Soulmate wide leaf October 20, Soulmate narrow leaf October 21.
None of them were ready, but a week of rain in the forecast made the call.

Thank you for the Dragonsblood v2 details. It helps to know the specifics of the good and the bad about any strain.

You’ve probably grown more plants than me, and i’m no expert; but at 30% amber, i might be concerned about the clear sativa “high” being dulled-down. I think plenty of thc is degraded at that point.

Though 30% amber can work well for some heavy body effects strains like Bodhi’s indica x Ghash crosses.

i chopped 1week late, a Strawberry Cough at 30% amber and it was like a knockout indica. The soaring uplift effects i normally got were totally gone.

Mel Frank i read, liked 85-90% cloudy, 15-10% amber. Highly recommend his book below to everybody. It was the 1981 book i was reading back in high school instead of school books. (But don’t pay $400. please.)

$410 book? i'm telling everybody, start selling stuff on amazon

I don't know why someone would pay that much, but a few copies of Cherniak's Great Book of Hashish are on Amazon for $600-900+.

Unless I realize there's some super distinctive characteristic I don't think I'll be able to give a review of Snow Monkey this time around, I forgot to label jars.

Stoner error, been there, am there!

At least I got to see the same Soul Mate inside and out, definitely will run some of those again (hopefully with less rain).

Soul Mate in the Vapor Genie Aluminum right this minute!

Never tried one of those. Kinda cool being able to use a lighter without burning the herb. I have a dynavap omni-vong. Can heat it with a lighter but not so great that way. Used to use a torch but switched to heating with an electric induction heater and that is THE way. Never burns. Great flavor saver/savor.
Vaping Waking Dream this a.m.- two phoenos to test with a 5 week cure. Small nugs but very abundant and greasy on the more strechty pheno. Both very piney with a menthol/cleaner back too them. One is very much pinethol on the exhale. Nice daytime meds so far. Great rolled up. Flavor lasts through to the roach.

Space cake. Gassy, earthy, cookieish. Super stoney. Had a few other nice plants from the pack but this one stuck out from the rest.

I've praised Bodhi on this thread plenty over the years, so when they fuck up; it's only fair to post that as well.
I'm not a breeder, it isn't my job; only a medical cultivator.
