Has anybody else had germination problems with the Bodhi freebies from JBC Seeds?

I’d sown the whole pack of Soul Mate freebies and only 3 germinated. Being disappointed with that i then sowed 9 more Soul Mate seeds that I purchased from Attitude about 12 months earlier, and all 9 popped and grew, leaving me with a total of 7 girls from 12 seeds.

Lemon Hashplant V2 freebie was sown about 10 days ago and out of 12 seeds only 5 popped with 1 of those dying after a few days leaving me with just 4.

I’ve been growing Bodhi stuff for a few years now and never had these problems before. JBC have been very good to deal with but these freebie germination rates are a concern.

JMHO but I believe it's more the luck of the draw. JBC and GLG are both great to deal with and I personally never had this problem but I have with other freebies. To my knowlage freebies are often stock that is a bit older but I can not say for positive. For me as long as i end up with a winner to hold onto for some time after I'm just ok with it.
Bottom line is it does suck though. If I have the room I'll leave my slow growing babies to catch up and if I dont I cull a few anyway so it's all the same. If I had a whole basement I might be more dissatisfied.

Mark my words... you will have this shitty luck but in 8-12 weeks we will all be drooling over the ones that survived. Good luck my friend. Maybe @baddawg can tell us how the freebie stock works? I have 10 year old packs I sow from time to time and sometimes 100 percent others only 5 of 10...
Bodhi almost always 100 percent free or not.
I think you just got unlucky this time.. take a cut in case of somthing spectacular!!!

I just started using Big 6 but the soil test that I had done afterwards showed that Mn and other micros were just fine... I don't see anything wrong with your plants at all. I think that I was just excited to see someone else using build-a-soil
I have that same excitment as you! I love bas and they have my loyalty and have certainly earned it. Now that I know you are in the same mix I'll be more diligent to take notes that may help one of us later... considering the soil test as well myself. Then again my plants almost always tell me if somthing is wrong. Glad we clashed here...
Happy growing!

Ive bought multiple packs from jbc with no problem. Just cracked some dla6 from a year or so ago and all of them cracked

Cheers buddy,
I agree that freebies are probably old stock and the germination is a bit hit & miss but i was still hoping for a bit better. But hey! never look a gift horse in the mouth. Just means that i'll have to purchase another pack of LHP unless i get lucky with the 4 seedlings that i've got. I'm sure there's still something very nice in those beans! as long as they're girls!

Happy Fall 2019 bodhi friends. :)

I finished the gifted plants grow and came out with a couple of spectacular bodhi seeds specimens. Here's how the Lucky Charms F2 turned out:

lc f2 trimmed crop 1..jpg

(Thanks to the friendly grower who made these F2, she made the same F2 stock @torontoke used in his LC F3 and More Cowbell x Lucky Charms F2 that @Bodyne is now running).

The full grow thread from start to finish + smoke report is over at BreedBay: https://www.breedbay.org/community/threads/lucky-charms-f2-the-white-x-appalachia.201366115/

I'll post the Godhead after I'm done with the smoke report.

Nice to see you around,Nu-be.Your soil mix and sips recommendations were spot on:peace:
Glad to hear it! May all your endeavors be fruitful and fun! :)

Here's that very simplified soil recipe (with lots of notes, so take care to read them all and ask questions in PM) in case anyone else was interested. Many thanks and all credit to @Rasta Roy for his help with this soil mix. This riffs on Coots mix, but without the deficiencies and extra stuff. Plants love it the whole way through.

Hey Nu-Be I gotta ask, why do you say not to ask for the tester email address? If I had to guess your heart is in the right place and don't want to promote it to the seed scabs....... but I wonder if this is ultimately detrimental or beneficial to them.

I only ask because I've had a couple DM's asking for the address myself as well as the fact that the email is prefaced with:

"Hello Friends !


Thank you all for your interest in testing our seeds! It is a very important part of our process in developing new seeds, and we deeply appreciate YOU. We allow growers of all experience levels, as it helps us know if the strain is stable. We also wish to include EVERYONE in our team, so with big, open arms we say WELCOME!"

Have you spoken to Bodhi or Mrs. B about this by chance? I sent her a DM on insta with no response and considering what is said above I think it's safe to share the addy with folks.
You're absolutely right, and thanks for bringing this up. I'm sorry - I was trying to encourage searching, not discourage new testers. I agree with you that it probably is safe to share. Next time I'll just post "please search this thread or @mrs_bodhi on IG for the tester email." :)

Hey guys I usually lurk on here but remember a poster here was going to make f2s on the dank Sinatra or ss4. He said he was gonna pass them out cheaply or on the house. I can't recall the user on here and I suck using the search engine. Someone posted what those packs would be worth on IG and the guy commented "not much by the the time I get to my f2" or something along those lines. If anyone can give me a bit of a memory jog I would appreciate it very much.
Hey man, as @Weliveinapolicestate and @The Mantis said, I made those Dank Sinatra F2 as a community strain preservation project. I sent many thousands to @Useful Seeds to help get his seed company off the ground, sent a bunch to @torontoke as well to hand out, and gave away around 10k beans in big 50-100 seed packs to anybody who asked. I have more F2 preservation runs on deck in the next year - including Sunshine #4, Mother's Milk, Pura Vida, Blueberry Hashplant, Dream Beaver, and several others gracious donated by many fine folks. Here's my philosophy on the whole thing https://overgrow.com/t/giving-back-to-the-community/9241. Bodhi also clarified his position on using his beans for F2 and breeding projects in a separate thread over there.

Hi @Bodyne still here. Hope you're well! :)

Big blessings and stay warm this winter, bodhi fans. :peace:

I haven't been able to find much on these, and I've had them so long I can't remember if they were freebies or what, LOL! Are the the same as the J1 x 88?

I dont think so but I'm along for the ride. I'm sure it's good if its bodhi... nice to have somthing different from the rest of the pack!

Happy growing!

just got my GLG order of SSDD and the free pack of kush 4 x snow lotus. i read all of the info i could find on the kush 4 which was not a whole lot. the package says "2019 spring outdoor love gift" now, does that mean this cross is recommended for outdoor? the bad dawg testers are star dawg j x apollo 13 f4 & atonic CBD x apollo 13 f4. does anyone have any additional info or comments about any of these strains? i use mainly fem seeds but i have grown Bodhi seeds in the past. mothers milk, more cowbell and clusterfunk. i also grew a pack of bad dawg blue dream x LBL outdoor and it was fire. i am not a big fan of CBD crosses but i am excited about the bad dawg testers for next spring outdoor. the bodhi packs are going in the veg room in two weeks.

Yeah it looks great but the functionality needs some tweaking and I couldnt log in to purchase. I have the last pack of ASS in my cart waiting to hear back from DBJ on how to complete order. My password wont work. I requested to change it, that was fine but then after that worked it wanted to "verify" my account via email and I never got it. Checked SPAM folder... In the grand scheme of things any website update is usually a clusterfunk and DBJ did his gracefully to say the least.
It was brought to my attention by a member that my quoted comment above was not appreciated and that bothers me as it was not my intention.

I would like to address my earlier comment with first an apology and second some clarity.

I have done business with GLG / Great Lakes Genetics / DBJ / Dragboat Jeffy / Bad Dawg Genetics for a few years now. I would like to openly apologize to him, his company, and anybody else offended by my posted comment.

My comment was meant to "reserve" the pack of ASS that was in my cart at the time of the GLG website changeover. I was frustrated for no good reason and came across as an ASS myself. I did however, try to make light of the situation with my last line of the comment with "clusterfunk" being a known Bodhi strain and knowing that GLG was doing and did their best to handle the update and get my account up and running.

I can't erase what I said but hopefully my transparent and public apology will at least show that I was the asshole in this situation and for that I am truly sorry. GLG has done nothing but good things for me and for the greater Bodhi community.

They were freebies if I recall correctly, different from the j1. Most of my phenos had a musky mango dark hash smell with a strong relaxing stone. One pheno stood out with a sour green apple aroma but she was too strong for me, like super tight chest, anxious, paranoid nightmare fuel strong. Some people liked it but it was too much for me. Definitely some good shit though.20180322_142541.jpg20180412_151048.jpg
