Sup Mantis. looking stellar as ever. 1500!!! jheeze, fair play!Popped over 1500 seeds in 2019 and plan to pop another 1000 at least this year.
Thanks Lukio! You too. Need to come swing by your thread here in a minute to see how your lineup is coming along so far.Sup Mantis. looking stellar as ever. 1500!!! jheeze, fair play!
Heres to a great 2020
This is about the male to female ratio that I was getting with SunShine DayDream. You were talking about having germination issues with older seeds, I better not hold onto these packs of SSDD for too long then. I think that they were already a couple of years old when I bought them. Don't worry, I'm not your competition lol. I'm just a backyard grower that got a earlier start than most Oklahoman's. I felt like I was rambling too much in the other thread, like I was all over the damn place. Anyways, it's cool to see the story behind some of the clones that I just bought from your store! Don't get offended if I still pop some seeds though lol. I have a couple packs of Dynasty and I'm new to the Professor. I got Pineapple Fields and StarDuster from them. Bodhi is cool, but most of his strains are on the heavy side.A local grower is growing the Dragon Af now and has reported he only got 2 fems from 10 seeds
Feel free to ramble on anywhere I'm okay with it. No one else but this board cares about what growers have to say anyhow lol.This is about the male to female ratio that I was getting with SunShine DayDream.

I wasn't trying to talk bad about FoxFarm or anything and I wasn't trying to say that my compost is supreme lol. I just got lucky the first time that I composted(2015) I had 1 great harvest and I have been striving to get there again. It's like I got to see what a good organic grow should look like and I know that I haven't reached full potential yet, because my first compost set the standard. I haven't been happy with my results because I think that I set a high bar for me to achieve. I'm hoping that growing companion plants to compost with and to attract beneficial insects is the way to go. Spidermites passed through my outdoor garden 2x last summer, but I think that we had enough green lacewings to control the population. It helps that my wife is planting stuff focusing on green lacewings and ladybugs. The bugs are native to us, so we just have to make a home for them. Next, I need to make a greenhouse to keep the rain off and bud rot away.Feel free to ramble on anywhere I'm okay with it. No one else but this board cares about what growers have to say anyhow lol.
You might as well pop those SSDD soon! I'm sure you'll get all females this time with the odds. Usually the way it works out.
No offense taken growing all that gear. Bodhi and Dynasty are probably in a small group of the best breeders out there right now. We'll be offering some Professor P gear in the next few months and we're always popping Bodhi gear.
One of my favorite seed packs was Dragon Fruit. It had a candy store pheno that was the most pleasant that I've come across. Prayer Tower indica had a nice mango taffy that produced well. I might be able to pull some of my old pics up on the bodhi thread? They were from like 2016 though, I don't know if the search bar would work? Anyways, I was hoping that I could find a pheno similar to dragon fruit in cosmic serpent. Cherry candy sounds right but w/o the cough drop. It still sounds good though, I bought a clone.We'll be offering some Professor P gear in the next few months and we're always popping Bodhi gear.
I'm all about the beneficial bugs and companion plants. And a greenhouse is the way to go it will change everything for you.I wasn't trying to talk bad about FoxFarm or anything and I wasn't trying to say that my compost is supreme lol.

I'm curious to see what you think of the CS compared to your old Dragon Fruit. Ever run Love Triangle? They get a strawberry/cherry flavor on top of the OG notes that is one of my favorites. The Pinball Wizard #1 right now is putting off a candy store smell right now, almost done flowering and I can already tell it's going to be a terp monster. No SSH pepper smells, just straight candy.One of my favorite seed packs was Dragon Fruit. It had a candy store pheno that was the most pleasant that I've come across.

No, but it's the most vigorous clone that I got from you lol... My wife is starting to complain about OG Kush and the only OG that she likes is Reserva Privada's Kandy Kush(OG Kush/TrainWreck). However, I find that most of the strain that work for my PTSD are OG Kush.Ever run Love Triangle?
I've ran Silver Mnt and Dragon Fruit which were both SSH crosses, so I knew that Pinball Wizard was going to be on point. Silver Mnt had a pretty good yield with huge buds and they smelled like a pilot light went out. It was gassy, but more of a natural gas type of smell. Anyways, Bodhi's SSH crosses seem to have HUGE buds.The Pinball Wizard #1 right now is putting off a candy store smell right now
My wife was a lot more helpful on the insects than I am because she told me that companion plants can either attract the harmful bugs away from cannabis or they can attract beneficial insects like Green Lacewings and Ladybugs. I kept asking her what kind of plants do we need because I read that almost any pollinating plant with flowers would attract beneficials. So, I was looking at Crepe Myrtles. She brought it up in her class and everyone said that Myrtles were no good for beneficials. It turns out that the right insects mostly like the small flowers like on Yarrow and Dill. My cousin-in-law was telling me how caterpillars have been bad in his neighborhood and I think that wasps are their predator. My problem, I have to cut trees down to have any sunlight in my yard. I feel bad about clear cutting a portion of my 2 1/2 acres, but it's the only way.I'm all about the beneficial bugs and companion plants. And a greenhouse is the way to go it will change everything for you.
This is the truth!!! I've had family members that acted like they were very interested in learning how to grow, but I show them a hard day of work and they don't show up next time. Everyone thinks that it is a "Get rich fast" type of scheme and are surprised when it's hard work. I'm sorry, but nobody is getting rich off of 4x flowering lights.Feel free to ramble on anywhere I'm okay with it. No one else but this board cares about what growers have to say anyhow lol.
Nice! I think the SSH itself is a huge yielder, as well as her cousin Jack Herer (I think it's silver haze & Jack Herer that are phenos both from NL5xHaze). Definitely want to hear what you think of the PW compared to the other SSH crosses. I'm a huge silver haze & Jack fan from the old school stuff I had in Amsterday 2001. Some of the best highs ever. SH had the super clear roller coaster fun high where as the Jack had a more hazey like high than just a straight sativa imo. You might want to check out our Jack and Jack crosses too. Everything the Jack has touched yields big.No, but it's the most vigorous clone that I got from you lol...

We're all about growing companion plants as well. I like to use a few, especially tomatoes (as bait and food), peppers (for bug spray, bait, and to eat), rosemary (deterrent and can be used for spray and to eat, basil (for eating and bait), tobacco (for spray & bait - and it works as a trap for fungus gnats, killing them sometimes as they get stuck to the hairs on the leaves), dill (like you mentioned), and more.My wife was a lot more helpful on the insects than I am because she told me that companion plants can either attract the harmful bugs away from cannabis or they can attract beneficial insects like Green Lacewings and Ladybugs.

Lol, nothing comes easy. And farming certainly ain't easy!This is the truth!!!

I'm thinking about going back to your store and getting 6 more clones. I have 12 earthboxes(Sub Irrigated Planters) and they have been impressive so far. I think that I will just get some foxfarm soil and 12 of your clones. I'm looking at FoxFarm's Lucky Dog K9 mix, it's supposed to be similar to ProMix but has added worm castings. Earthboxes don't have runoff water, so I gotta be careful not to use a mix that is too hot. The founder of GroKashi Alan Adkisson said that he uses an inert potting soil and top dresses with his 'kashi to make a mycelium layer and adds compost on top of it. He said that the roots will take what they want w/o dealing with toxicity issues. I think that this is big because I've been dealing with high sodium in my soil(malibu compost). However, I was mixing in Bu's to my soil and I should have just used it for a top dressing. My short time with earthboxes, it seems like there is something magical with them. The same soil that I have problems with will do pretty well in the earth box, it's like it gives you a wider margin of error.
Anyways, I think that we are getting ready to drive to town. I'm about to get a quote on K9 soil and see if I can get the most vigorous clones in your store.
Lol, I now have everything that you mentioned. Yeah, I have 12 of your clones now so I should be able to represent your stuff here shortly. I had good luck with KNF, so I am going to use probiotics in my earthboxes with homemade grokashi(red wheat bran), EM1, FPJ and probably FPE but I might keep that outside because it smells like the elephants at the zoo x1000. I was starting to rock it pretty hard last year, but I think that I tracked spider mites from outdoor grow inside. I know to be more cautious this year. My outdoor garden was able to remediate itself, but my indoor wasn't set up for it. So, I will start with my indoor work and then go outdoor lol.For vigorous, try the Jack crosses, the NL, the Dread Bread, the Blue Orca x RKS, and the Too Buku.
Okay awesome! You picked the right ones! Sounds like you have a great setup for them to thrive and I'm looking forward to watching them grow. I have zero experience with any grokashi stuff but it seems to make sense and a lot of folks seem to be enjoying it. I'll look into it more asap, meahwhile watching how your's do! Earthbox soil looks alive and ready. That plant responded quickly!Lol, I now have everything that you mentioned.

I heard that you met Bodhi himself a couple of times. I saw him on the Adam Dunn show, but Dunn was kind of being rude to him. Bodhi held his composure though. I was expecting Bodhi to look like Ghandi, but he looks more like Jack Black.
It seems that organics have not really made it popular in Oklahoma yet. I learned from people on here and it's mostly people from California that are into composting and living soil. It sucks because I didn't really have a mentor or someone to fall back on for advice when I was having problems. Anyways, Greasemonkey Mann helped a lot with composting and Hyroot had a good write up on probiotics that pointed me in the right direction. It looks like they are onto something because Alan Adkisson(Grokashi) is doing the same set-up with a mycelium mat for topdressings and EM1 in the reservoir. These pics are right before my last spider mite infestation hit. I haven't had a problem with them in like 3-4yrs, but whatever. I found that there is a JADAM V2 that I didn't know about and it covers pest management. There is supposed to be a citrus ferment that works well as a foliar spray.

I covered the mycelium mat with barley and malibu compost. This was 4 weeks later...

Never grew the black raspberry but it sounds pretty awesome. Looking forward to seeing these girls take off with you. I'm all about the rain water too. I don't harvest it now, but I did a few years ago living on a dry well and it's hard to compare to. Plants just love it.This was Bodhi's Black Raspberry BTW. I had this cut for about 2yrs and it checked a lot of boxes for me. RIP... The earthboxes impressed me enough that I bought 10 more, but I still haven't had a chance to use them yet. That's why I got 12 clones off of you though. I have 12 open Earthboxes right now. I'm just waiting for your clones to root a little bit before I try to pull them out. I'm just giving them rain water for now and I might give them a week.
Both look like you did a fine job! Which did you like best? What was your favorite Bodhi (or other) strain that you've grown?Pics from 2016. They bring back memories... I've ran more stuff from Bodhi, but I didn't really document it that well. Oklahoma was still in the dark ages and I wasn't too courageous at the time. I posted a few pics, but it scared the shit out of me. I've been at it since 2011 though, and made the switch to organic late in 2015.

@bigworm6969 , you get tall and short phenos of the 97 blue moonshine X purple sativa nl#5 ?? Just looked in on the two I have running and they're both female! They both have really sturdy branching that point almost straight up, super huge fans, one is really tall compared to everything else...www.rollitup.org
