bodhi seeds

I just have to say I never see B advertising, running booths, doing the cup circuit, merchandising, or even having much of a public psence, his strains are mostly available from only one place right now with a few exceptions, I struggle to see the capitalism. Looks more like the public going bananas all by themselves to me. Also the guy is busy with his 'Blood' line which is an IBL project, he has been trying males made with back crossing etc. Low prices too except for the rare auction pack which is third party sales anyway and has nothing to do with the guy. Call it luck or whatever, those expensive packs are PROVEN for their worth, those are never fresh releases but underground legends that earned their reputations from many runs.
Mad ham is blinded by his biases like always, failing to see the whole picture and only focusing on the corner.

Probably shouldn't like Nike cause they make so many different types of kicks.. Can't like Cadillacs, too many different models.. Can't even eat an Oikos in peace man, TOO MANY FLAVORS!!
Hey, variety is the spice of life. I'd just like to know how he does it. By all accounts he has a pretty modest set up. You'd think the guy was rocking a warehouse the size of a football field to make all of these strains.

He must be very organized and take mad notes to keep track of everything. A tour of his breeding operation would be the tits. Disney Land for stoners! :bigjoint:

Shits like déjà vu.....

I like the few bodhi plants I have ran,no keepers...but very nice smoke....that peeps still ask for...(35-50 yrs olds)

My younger crowd..(25+ crowd) they want that loud pak..very strong"stupid" high

Still have a few more packs of bodhi to run,so I may find that "strong"

No I have not found it in my GGG plants yet..

501st og by RD...that was a strong plant.

What are folks finding the finishing time like on Synergy? mines not doing so hot. fading fast been in flower for just under 60. Going to try and take her 2 more weeks at least, I'll get some pics up later but she's the saddest looking plant I've grown, buds are gorgeous, but the leaves are dropping like crazy. Had a rough couple weeks where the garden was neglected, she's still yielding heavy for 12/12 from seed. I gave her a pretty heavy nutrient tea this morning see if that helps, she's fading so fast there's not going to be a leaf left on her in 2 weeks.

I started growing Bodhi because Stow, Hamish, Gandalf and others kept praising his work so I grabbed a few packs and can't say I've been disappointed. Blue Tara, Love Triangle, and TERv2 ,Synergy. have all been worth the price of admission and I've only popped 2 beans from each pack. I still haven't got the Goji :) Heaven Mountain is still in the drawer waiting to get ran, tried a couple but they were males.

He has been putting out a lot of strains out yeah but they're tested before being released to distributers for resale. You can check out the grow journals on the bay


If you say Bodhi is cashing in then what exactly is your idea of a breeder not "cashing in"?

Is it paying for ads in high times?
Paying seedbanks to show them as being top recommended?
Paying for booths?
Releasing a Hermie strain called "Girl Scout cookies" or "blue dream" or *insert clone only strain*
keeping the lineage a secret?
Charging $15+ per seed

Hmmmmm
Already answered this earlier if you read the post instead of just blindly assuming I have issues with bodhi, I don't. But by not cashing in I mean doing as many canadian breeders do and have done for at least a decade. Take a look at peak seeds, great white north seeds or kootney mountain seeds, I'm sure there are others, but no cookie crosses, no og cross and they still have the same lines they have offered for 10 years or more.

Like I said, and for some reason you guys are ignoring, I have nothing against bodhi but any breeder that offers 50+ strains is more about money than MJ. Nothing wrong with that, but let's call it what it is, chucking for gold.

Millions of dollars and a warehouse/ multiple warehouses.

Chucking for gold! :D I like that!

GTFOH wit that garbage bro.. You think your canadian folks aren't in it for the paper?? Why do you think crayola makes more than 8 colors? Why you think McDs is putting lettuce on their QP? It's all about that $$

Your stance is kinda weak at best.. and I'm getting close to thinkin its trash just to "hate".. And for what??

But whatever.. I'm starting to feel stupid for even wasting my damn 2 minutes typing this crap out.. You have your opinion and I can respect that

Yes canadian breeders are in it for the money, who the hell isn't? I just gave a couple examples of breeders that are not cashing in on the poly hybrid wave and if you want to attack my character then kudos to you. I'm not here to put people down. Like you said everyone has an opinion and if you don't like my then don't give it a second thought.

I like the way that you made that statement but that is the only thing. You can spread about nonsense like this and you can even call the man a liar if you want but Bodhi is a people person very simply put. He has openly stated that most people like access to the "clone only" stock. Fact aside that I am a total fan and would love to get a chance to talk to him about things mostly unrelated to cannabis even, He's just trying to give the majority of the people what they love in regards to their seeds choices, imho.

Gen... then take my word on this brother... you want potency that makes even the most hardened toker wait a bit to drive and probably lose their keys before... Dream Beaver is no joke. You will also find the most unique terpene profiles, like the spiced chai tea pheno which had a mate of mine spend three hours trying to convince me to trade or sell some. I don't cross that line but if I had actual customers that pheno would have had a stampede to my door. Two years later, still nothing has come even close. If you know how the cross came about it will make sense. It holds a special place in Bodhi's heart for a good reason. So far everybody has found the pheno I named 'Milla' after the inventor of the bubble bag. Took a month to build tolerance to that one.

i feel really bad that i dont get to visit here that often, but i feel really good that such an amazing collection of charactors keeps this thread filled with laughter, debate, mystery and intrigue, and some really oversized neon green thumbs. i figured since I’m lurking ill answer a few questions from the last couple of pages.


how i do it:
heres my secret, no wharehouse, hoop house, or grow house, just my house….
i find exceptional proven unique males and do a run with all my moms, i bank all those seeds in my seed fridge and send out testers. i slowly release the tested lines that make the grade as new lines or freebies. this process takes years and gives the illusion of a massive catalog and infrastructure. this also frees me up to explore and be creative with my landrace and exotic lines, i do a lot lot of personal testing, r&d, collecting, and trading to keep things moving forward in a focused magical way.

appalachia hybrids:
all the appalachia hybrids were made in one run, vac sealed and put in the fridge. i have no fridge pollen of appalachia, as i lost the male suddenly during a collections trip. if it seems like more and more appear, its because the testers never came through on those lines and they are still awaiting testing results. most of the appalachia hybrids are gone or low except sunshine daydream and a few that never seem to get tested (giesel x appalachia, mss x appalachia) etc…

2015:
i make only seeds to keep things afloat, i stopped producing flowers which was a leap of faith many years ago. this year I’m scaling back on the polypolyhybrids and elite cross mashups, mostly focusing my commercial appeal seeds on extreme terpenes and resin for the concentrate tribe. i have been slowly collecting a massive library of the best of the best landrace specimens and will be going back to the future making pure f1’s. ill be making more pure landrace seeds this year outdoors under the nierika seed trust label, this years collections trip will be kashmir, jammu, and the pakistani borderlands in ladahk.

i know people are curious about bodhi seeds and the wizard behind the curtain, I’m slowly filling out my interview for skunk magazine as time permits. its not easy being a one man show, with three young kids, and a little farm on a hill top. i wake up early and go to bed late, i miss those days of being able to hang out online, sharing and connecting with my fellow green men and women. i love what i do with a passion, its what keeps me going, a green knight in her majesties secret service, just like you. but I’m burning out. i can’t keep up, and i dont want to let go of having my hands on each and every seed. i feel at my core its about getting this most sacred floral influence back into the collective consciousness, heal ourselves, our loved ones, and our planet. i love to give out freebies and testers because i love to give, it makes me feel good. I’m so happy that there are groups of amazing gardeners like you guys popping up all over, sharing the love, busting each others balls, cracking jokes, growing plants, and making beans.

I’m over my head these days, just keeping things moving forward on a roots level here at the farm, but ill try and pop by here and there to check in and answer questions.

thank you guys so much for all the love and support, the amazing grows and highs and lows of this path of the revolutionary evolutionary flower of power...

Dream beaver sounds interesting! Can you tell me if it is a heart pounding buzz? Im really not into the racey heart pounding strains.
Most likely I will be ordering from Midweek Song soon as they have the Goji Og I've been eyeballing. Looking to get a few more of his strains in my bank on this next and LAST order.:peace:

Never had that strain yet MH one day when my path leads me to that creation. I personally follow B strains being tested on SC Labs Cali wide. Dream Beaver consistently tests high with slightly over a dozen other B creations. Your constant praises about DB and consistent high lab testing suggests DB is a highly potent strain.

I would love to read a smoke report on it from you, I think you will enjoy the unique and many layered flavors :)
