Popular Bodhi Strains

[Amos Otis]

My example would be Bob Dylan, great performer that has inspired tons of Rock n rollers and other musicians. Let's say Dylan is our keeper dad plant. Do you think his offspring are going to have his same talents? Because if you're familiar with the 90's you know Jakob Dylan, Bob's son, did have a rock band call The Wallflowers, and they were definitely not keepers.

Indeed. Dylan songs are often fantastic, but only when it's someone else covering them.

And it is ultimately all about money,

You say that like it's a bad thing. As long as consumers have choice - and weed growers have a ton of choices - if you don't like the prices of one cat, try someone else that fits your budget, like Breeder's Boutique or Peak Seeds.

One breeder that I can say doesn't cater to the market is peak seeds. If bodhi, or any breeder for that matter, really wasn't out for top dollar they could setup shop like peak seeds.

- Different strokes - let the businessman decide how he wants to run his business, or shop somewhere else. Easy peasy.

Hey Sat do one of these for GGG. You make this point:

- Users who now buy bodhi chucks, for example medicinal users getting pain relief, won’t be able to buy the same strain a few years from now, or in 2 decades. Because it never was a strain. Anyone with just the slightest clue of what breeding is gets that.

However Bodhi's breeder info says nothing about Medicinal while GGG does.

"*OUR MISSION* is to provide outstanding quality cannabis to medical marijuana patients on a consistent basis."

They don't keep strains around, charge roughly 40% more than Bodhi and have very few strains that are aimed at chronic pain suffers (the most common diagnosis for medical card holders; in my state at least)

Edit: I think people could use these posts to perhaps find a pattern in what strains they prefer. Maybe someone likes a lot of strains that did come from Sensi, they might be well served to try the strain that was used to make the ones they love. Perhaps do what Sat says and use that as a building block for your own projects.

the vault doesn't have the fantasy island bummer, maybe it'll come up sometime in the future. I know this is off topic, but has anyone tried BOG seeds? Lifesaver and L.S.D in particular.

Also for people that have grown out a lot of bodhi gear, what would be the number 1 frostiest strain that yields at least 1.5lb a light? It's gotta be extra frosty with bag appeal, nice high and smell <70 days flower? Which strain would fit this bill? Oh, and something stable, no herm prone?

I am growing Dream Lotus right now which fits your criteria, but it's not offered any more. He does have another Blue Dream cross (Blueberry Hashplant) available that I bet would suit your needs. Big worm and Natro Hydro both grew it so they could probably tell you more...

 

[AlphaPhase]

Any info on the blueberry hash plant would be cool. The dream lotus does sound nice though. I grew blue hash for a couple years, i wonder if it would be similar. I loved the blue hash

I can only speak to what I have seen thus far since I am only halfway into flower. And the deadly g papa definitely let the blue dream shine through in structure and phyllotaxy. Waiting to see if it yields like the dream. She is definitely frosty and @bigworm6969 had some really pretty colors come through in his plants. I put up a kinda blurry early flower pic of a blueberry hashplant bud a page or 2 back.

The reason Fantasy Island isn't offered by Bodhi still isn't his choice. It is the same reason a lot of his top strains aren't. It is because he lost his male when he was in other countries searching the landraces. If Bodhi finds a good cross, he tends to keep it. It isn't like he makes them, then stops because he feels like it. Some crosses may be a one time deal, and we may see a few packs pop up on the seed vault. But that is mainly due to them not being up to his standards in some way. And usually, he just offers them as freebies. Just in the last couple months I bet I have gotten probably 15-20 free packs of Bodhi's gear just by making orders out to the right places (Usually the vault).

CSI Humboldt has some grow journals on another forum. farmer forum. Not much on there, but enough to get an idea. Plus I have looked at a lot of instagram pics and read replies. Even if I don't get any winners, I expect it to be all above average. I will let everyone know what I find.

And AlphaPhase I think almost all of Bodhi's strains can hit 1.5 pounds per 1k if grow right. I think the Appy dad probably has a little better yield then the SL, but both are pretty good yielders. Same goes for the G13HP. I just tend to be an Appy fan because I like Chem, and Green Crack a lot and that is what Appy is. Mostly Chem dominant though. He lost his Appy male, so the crosses you see of Appy are the last. Once they are gone, they will be gone for good. That is why I have been on a buying spree, of everything I want so I can grow them out in the future.

Some strains I think will be better then most yield wise would be -

Prayer Tower (Lemon Thai x Appy) I have seen some huge plants from this cross. It is a sativa dominant cross, and I hear the lemon smells are strong in a lot of phenos.

Silver Mountain (Super Silver Haze x Appy) Another big yielder, probably a little more Sativa then Blue Dream but I bet you could get close to the same yield depending on the pheno. The high from this is very sativa as well.

Dream Lotus (Blue Dream x Snow Lotus) I have a pack of these, just popped 4 of them to try against some HSO Blue Dream here soon. They were offered on the vault just a couple weeks ago but I believe they are sold out, because I sent in for another pack and they sent me a replacement pack. I am sure it will be offered again, I just don't know when.

Synergy (Pinequeen x Appy) - I have seen some very large phenos of this one. Has some fruity flavors to some phenos and chem dank to others. This is mostly given out as freebies. Attitude is giving 5 free seeds per every bodhi pack you buy.

I am sure there are a bunch of others, but I will say a few other strains I think you should look at that may not yield as much as these above, or maybe depending on pheno they will. Either way, I think they can hit 1.5 per 1k. One to look at my friend is Sunshine Daydream. It is probably Bodhi's most favored strain by growers. That and Gogi OG. But Sunny D is gonna be gone forever here soon as it is Bubbashine x Appy. And I have seen some very large phenos of it as well, it will be super frosty. And there are quite a few phenos in there that people call keeper cuts. One I plan to look for is the buttered cut - suppose to smell like butter.
Then the Gogi OG is a very popular one, depending on pheno I think you can hit 1.5 per 1k with some phenos. Maybe even all of them if dialed in.
A new one out called MoonTang I think would be a good commercial strain depending on pheno. It is 91 Chemdog skunk VA cut x Snow Lotus. It will probably have a bigger yield then Gogi, and a much more chem dominant smell with some berries/mint flavor to some phenos.
Bodhi also has the Fuzz, it is Chem 91 x Appy. Probably more chem dominant smells to them then the MoonTang but it would depend on the pheno. This cut of Chem 91 is not the Skunk VA original, but the JB cut. It is probably just as good as the original though.

Instead of rambling on and on, I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. But one I would buy right now for sure would be Sunshine Daydream. It may even be gone by the time you send your money in, but I figure there will still be a couple packs left. Then you may as well order another strain to try, for yield taste etc I think I would go with Prayer Tower, or Dream Beaver or Silver Mountain for the Sativa effects and biggest yield. If you don't care about yield quite as much, then pick up a pack of Gogi. They are also in stock right now.

I figure you have your grow style down, but almost any strain will hit 1.5 per 1k if it is grown in a condition it likes. I used to grow SCROG a lot and I loved how it yielded. But lately I have just been training them well and enjoy not having to use a screen anymore. I like to start out by topping once or more depending on strain, then if it is more sativa dominant I like to bend/break the branches into where I want them. If it is a stringy plant and can't hold its weight then I like to either tie them up with some string and hooks, or but some stakes in and tie them to. But the key is to have as even of a canopy as possible, and to fill every spot you can in. Since I have my canopy full, not much light gets below the first layer so I always lollipop and take off all the lower stuff the first couple weeks in flower. Works just as good for me as SCROG, without the pain in the ass screen.

Oh I know about boutique music gear but there is a big difference in musical equipment and plant genetics. I just can't bring myself around to the idea of boutique genetics. Again, it's no a knock against bodhi per se just a issue I find with the whole seed industry. And it is ultimately all about money, if it wasn't then breeders wouldn't have to have 50 different mother lines to stay competitive.

Needless to say, as a smoker, yes I love variety but as a grower I would like stables that I can always turn to and I would rather have stable lines that I could cross myself then have people do it for me. Why play the lotto when you could just mine gold?

Here comes my blunt answer: First, how much Bodhi gear have you grown? Because it looks like you are coming with a lot of opinion and little experience. Second, if you look at Fender as in any way relevant to 'Boitique' then no, you have no idea. Any serious guitarist knows Fender has sucked since they were bought out in what, the 70's?
What EXACTLY is your experience in the seed industry you speak of mate? Look, you buy what you want to buy, how's to quit harping on about your personal justification for NOT buying something? Can you imagine a more redundant activity? Bro no offence but seriously. What do you want?

 

[Mad Hamish]

Another thing I don't get is peoples willingness to defend a product or product maker. I love me some fender guitars and I won't play on much else but I would never really waste breath defending the product. I could literately hear someone bitching about fenders for hours and never respond to defend fender.

It takes all kinds, so of course some people are going to absolutely hate a product that you love. Similar to the whole sports team supporters

I used to leave near Chicago and Green Bay and in both of these places a person could get beat up for saying either team sucked out loud. Hell, even in soccer there are riots over teams rivalries. Who cares what team is the best?

Does it matter if sativie hates bodhi? Does it make you mad that someone doesn't like the things you like? He never said bodhi's shit was junk, he just stated that his genetic practices are not to further gene lines but rather to cater to the bean buying market. And by the comments I've seen here in defense of bodhi, I'd say sativie correct. Bodhi, like almost every other breeder at the moment, is just catering to the "clone only easter egg hunt" crowd. But unlike Sativie, I say 98% of all breeders do this regardless of their country of origin.

One breeder that I can say doesn't cater to the market is peak seeds. If bodhi, or any breeder for that matter, really wasn't out for top dollar they could setup shop like peak seeds. He run the shop himself, he focuses on a handful of strains and you never see his stuff for sale anywhere but his website.

Looks like somebody needs to get his own breeding on lmfao... Wow mate, so the guy is not allowed to support his family from his work? Hey the rest of us like his gear so much it tends to sell out which, btw, is cool with everybody else. Seriously. Wow. You are turning out to be pretty uptight.

 

[heelzballer]

I'll chime in on a good yielding strain--Ancient OG, bigger yields than Goji, but out of 8 seeds got 4 females, and have now finally whittled that down to two females, and am just starting their 1st runs from clone. Even without dialed in growth, they all will yield well, but I kept the more trichome covered D plant which was the shortest of them, and kept the A plant as it was easiest to clone. But all four stayed VERY uniform in growth. Probably keeping D as a long term momma!

 

[heelzballer]

Hamish, and others...I was trying to be a tester, and emailed Mrs. B, and picked my top 4 Choc Trip, Blue Dream, and two others, and gave my info, but never got the tester beans...Have you all gotten any of the new testers yet? Emailed her once to see a status of them, but didn't want to be a nag lol.

Hey Sat do one of these for GGG. You make this point:

So....have you grown any of they crosses?

What don't they keep around?

Who are you buying from,at 40% more?

@Sativied if you get time,please do one on GGG if you can....I'd really love to see what you post.

I've ran a few med type crosses from them.

First off, I never said Fender was boutique, I mentioned fender for the reason you just illustrated, that a lot of people hate them while I love them. I don't want anything but an adult conversation and critical thinking. Like I repeatedly say, I'm not out to discredit anyone. I simply question everything. Why is it bad to ask questions and ponder possibilities?

As far as my experience in the seed industry, very little besides what my crew and I have grown. But I do read, and between the lines at that.

Here's an email just received for Mike at Peak seeds.
From: "Peak" <[email protected]>
Date: March 27, 2015 at 10:16:42 AM PDT
To: undisclosed-recipients:;
Subject: Greetings from MikeJ at PeakSeedsBC.

I'm appealing to my best customers for just a bit of help in
raising my profile.

Recently, I was approached by a reputable seed distributor.
Pretty good guy, he explained how things work. Apparently, the way
it is done is, the breeders pay the magazines and websites, which
are owned by the seedbanks, for good exposure and cup winnings. The
seedbanks in turn sell the breeders strains and everyone makes a
lot of money. He offered me a pretty good deal to take all I could
produce, and my strains would be sold at the major seedbanks in the
$60-$100 price range. I'll admit that there was some appeal to just
being able to focus on breeding and production. But, I've got good
regular customers, my order processing and customer service down
pretty good and I have never believed that those prices were
reasonable, so I politely declined. Independent has always been my
way.

The competition is fierce though. Between the out and out
scammers muddying the waters, the bogus cup winners and the high
profile banks offering a variety of payment options, it's hard to
get any attention out there. I rely solely on good word-of-mouth
for business.

This is where I'm going to ask for a little help from you. Any
mention out there in the world wide web helps a lot. There are two
sites that I'm listed on with a few good reports but I could use
more. If you could, please got to one or both of these sites and
put in a good word for me.
www.bestseedbank.com/peak-seeds/
www.seedbankreview.com/peak-seeds/

Also if you are a member of any forums, any mention at all goes a
long way. Please spread the word in any way possible. Don't be
afraid to point out any exposure you give me, to me. I like to show
my appreciation.

Thank you, let me know if I can help you in any way and if all
you do is continue to give me your business, that is appreciated
too. MikeJ​

Hell yes he should make money off his work. I simply said the game isn't all peaches and cream. Any breeder up on attitude, choice and every other bank is in it for more than just supporting their families. I guess if people have different opinions they should just argue and call each other names.

 

[thenotsoesoteric]

Why the fuck am I getting attack? Are you mofos personally invested in Bodhi stock. WTF. And then calling me uptight. Are people not allowed to question social structure and businesses based on corporate models? I guess I'll just drown myself in the toilet tonight. Seriously, you guys sound like you're christians and I'm talking down about your savior by ponder the possibility that bodhi is a money grabber? I'll burn in hell for this one, praise jesus.

Or, is it Sativie bail so you turn your anger on me. Either way, I don't support any one breeder over the next and I sure to hell don't rank dutch over US genetics.

 

[OGEvilgenius]

No, farmers cannot reproduce their own seeds from hybrid to get the same results. The farmers that breed their own seed stock have been using their own genetics for generations with seeds that are IBL and most likely not hybrids* unless that farmer is lucky enough to have the means to keep clones or three genetic seed lines going at once. Most farmer's simply don't have the time, space nor resources to produce their own seeds that will produce as good as the ones they can buy. Sound familiar? Almost sounds like what's going on in the weed seed world.

Easily reproduce the originals given enough time? Sure, that's why all these clone only's are no longer clone only but are instead dead on exact carbon copies of the original only in seed form. That's like saying, if you and your girlfriend had enough kids that you would eventually have two kids that were 100% carbon copies of both of your parents, ain't likely to ever happen.

Plants aren't humans. The comparison isn't valid because we are quite capable of growing millions of plants at once from the same parents.

Maybe you are correct, but there isn't that much to indicate what you're suggesting. Making money isn't wrong. Seeing as how his customers seem to always come back, I'd say he's earned whatever he makes (whether he winds up rich or not).
