bodhi seeds

I have red many good things about Lavander- how was the germ rate on those beans? Heard its hit and miss with Soma just like DJ Short. They dont make beans that often it seems and some sit around for years making it harder to germ.

Well keeping in mind that this was around 7 years ago, I had 100 percent germ rate on all his beans: Lavender, NYC Diesel and Somango. It was right as Soma got bust with a few plants on his balcony and got dragged through court, so I guess a lot has changed since then. I know quite a few guys that have germed off his gear, and personally I have not heard any complaints as yet. I had my mums for a LONG time bro, and my old Diesel cut is still going around, getting a clone of it some time in the next month or two.
Real pity if he's gone downhill, his gear's gotten EXPENSIVE.

bty- the keeper pheno of Supersticious for me has red stems, normally this would mean a deficiency but I battled it for a while and then accepted the fact that it just gets those red stems, not purple. Pretty cool IMO.

I have heard that snow lotus dom females can have red stems and I believe I might have one with the two series of rku's i'll be putting into flower short enough. And btw I asked over at breedbay concerning the sensi star ( if its similar to pre 95 Paradise Seeds and Bodhi must of missed it and another cat over there said he was not sure but it was a gift from a friend of his and it was an old cut.

Soma Seeds Lavender is a real blessing for any person that is struggling with depression. It is AMAZING medicine. I e-mailed Soma when I was having myself some really down times over a long period, intensely dark phase in my life. I explained to him what I need out of my smoke, and he recommended the Lavender. I grew it, and it served it's purpose. I like his Diesel more as an overall smoke, but when I needed it, the Lavender was just perfect. INCREDIBLY beautiful bud too. You will be insanely happy with it. Plan on keeping a clone or two. It is one of my huge regrets in my entire career as a grower, being dumbass enough to allow a heat wave to kill my Lavender mommies. Just thinking about that reefer makes me smile. Soma is an amazing man. He replied to my e-mail within the day. Sure he was very brief, but he knew what he needed to say, and I trusted him. IF I ever get to meet him, he's getting the biggest bear-hug a man can imagine.

Lavender has high amounts of the terpene linolol that is why you get that happy feeling. Other strains I have run across that were like that grrr brain fart lol and you know this since your from S. Africa is Durban Poison.

He has a following and in the past I never had any issues with any of his wares. Have not done anything by him in recent years though. Based on first statement maybe that's why his prices have escalated .. sound genetics and a good reputation in the cannabis community.

Linolol, I am committing that to memory for sure!!! Hey, notice how it's go a laugh in it's name even: Lino(lol)

Ah don't get me started on Durban Poison :/ What I find incredibly interesting is: It does not exist except OUTSIDE of South Africa. If you have ever seen the weed in Durban, my gods... I have been hunting the mythical DP for more than a decade, and I am still to find it.

I think it's like my buddy with his strain named after a region in South Africa, but it was built up off Dutch genetics with a quick BX into Swazi. GREAT reefer, but hardly any roots in S.A... I'm running it right now will get you some pics up.

The biggest clue I have to go on as far as DP goes is the 'anise' flavour, which is trademark of the Port St John's area in the Transkei, which can sometimes have a minty smell and flavour on top of the aniseed. But the funny bit here, to me, is that is NOT the high-grade TK reefer at all. That's the very bushy leafy one. The badass TK is quite fruity with a heavy layer of spice on top. The true taste of good weed from S.A is black pepper.

Another good candidate for DP is herb from Valley Of A Thousand Hills and the Drakensberg. But none of the ones I have gotten my hands on fit the full DP profile. I truly believe it was a TK cross made by some clever man in Durban, but using a lot of oldschool Dutch genetics as the base of it all. Perhaps an accidental pollination. And as far as my knowledge on the topic goes, the entire DP line was taken to Holland as a few seeds found in a bag. Kinda like Soma's NYC Diesel, which was a bagseed then built up into an incredible line and named after the city in which it was acquired.

All I know for sure is Durban Poison is not from South Africa at all mate... I am still on the same mission to figure it all out.

I need to learn about breeding. Time for South Africa to show what it can REALLY do using only landraces from around here. There are quite a few good breeders here now, but very few of them are South Africans. Greenhouse Seeds has been hard at work here, as has Barney's Farm. I do believe the former actually owns land in the Transkei, but this is an unverified rumour...

Great write-up, and I did a fair amount of research on all my strains...I really care about the medicine I provide people and always try and find ways to really make a difference in addition to a livelihood..I know it has great medicinal properties, I bought most of my strains, because I have been having anxiety problems, and am hopeful that these will not only help myself enjoy smoking again, but others too...Can't wait to see how harlequin works on the mind and body too..Can you provide any details or grow tricks for Soma? Picky eater? Best time to cut down? Thanks

With Soma, all I have to say is he never prioritised YIELD in his breeding, rather the magical healing benefits. So use every trick in your book to maximise, ScROG, SoG, and LST on all of them for sure are good ideas. Lavender I'd say go mainline mate. And my second tip would be, look at your first run as getting to know the plant, and then RUN it.

And with Lavender, just like the Diesel, when she looks ready, wait a week

I have no pics of Lavender But to give you an idea, this is Diesel when READY. VERY few white hairs left, but each calyx almost exactly the same size as the next one, and just a dusting of golden trichs near the tippity tops.





Lavender will give you a similar structure to the D. So expect something like this:

both my goji og seedlings have purple stems an petioles.

Anyhow back to Bodhi... 10/10 Dream Beaver germed and goin' for it like the blazes. Got hungry already too, first feed was today.

At day 5:



Day 9 and getting HUNGRY:



Holy balls they grow fast.

Looking good my man.

Can anybody or has anybody ever grown superstious out just planted 5 of them and was wondering what to expect doing them in a ebb and flow under 1000

what i write is just my opinion about the run I just got over with- from my personal experiences, the superstitious (5 females) were heavy on the indica side of the spectrum with lil stretch come flower and this was the most indica strain I have tried of bodhi's. They vegged a lil slow for me, had those darker leaves and to me seemed like it was heavy on the sensistar/bubba side of things. The bubba side came out at the end of flowering. Not a super stinky strain but mine had a purple tint towards the end. Make sure you have some cal/mag and it seemed like a semi decent feeder with nutes. I put one outside over my back fence to flower out since the photo-period allowed me to do so coming into fall. I ran outta room in my flowering area and had to put one of them outside, she is like 3-4 weeks in maybe idk? Give me a minute and I will go get a pic of her but she is at the mercy of the outdoors now. The one I am going to throw up a pic of was vegged for like 5 weeks from bean maybe? I am bad about following days, this is the only superstitious i have still alive that isnt a small cutting.

So what would I say about my experience? Good genetics, veg them for a bit to get a decent plant, she seemed to like nutes but not super heavy (i do organics except for a couple shots of bloom booster during flower), maybe 1x stretch..... idk??? Not the best at shit like this, lol. Just remember that this plant was supposed to be flowered indoors so its small for an outdoor plant since it is only flowering outside, was vegged indoors and was ment to be run indoors. Just didnt have room for her inside right now- bty- I have yet to smoke any of this Supersticious since the 4 others I just finished are still hanging. The one I will take a pic of was from when I started the last 2 beans from the original pack that I thought I was saving for some unknown reason..... said screw it and started up all the last of my stock from a couple different packs I thought I was gonna save for some rainy day.

Forgot to mention- this supersticious I am gonna post just got knocked up by some pollen from the best male I found this summer, the male came from the GDP OG Kush. The male had good structure and stunk. Straight up chuckin' pollen for some fun this winter. Who knows what will happen?

I decided to use up the last of my pollen on her just now and this is the 2nd time she got the dirty on this week (hit up a lower branch a couple days ago), was nice seeing the sunrise just starting to hit her. Good morning ya'll and here is what this last one looks like right now, like I mentioned earlier- not exactly sure how many days in... maybe 25-30?at least someone in this home got laid today- sad its not me, lol. This is just a pic of one of her top buds, she was topped a couple times.

gdp x b =

lol

i was thinking about hitting my phantom cookies (If i find a winner) with cherry mountain (if they show up)

how was that OG? i got a handful of them still ive been debating on running at some point.

IDK how the gdp og kush is- the GDP OG (tahoe x ?og) female is at my fathers house, he has it outdoors and she is like 3-4 weeks in to flower right now so we havent puffed any yet, he hit up that with pollen for some f2's, he also hit up his ole school hindu that he loves and has had for years, a mass super skunk and a dream lotus I gave him. That will be five crosses to keep us busy this winter including my pollen chuck. I should snag a pic of his outdoor plants next time I get down his way, they are all monsters in huge containers.
