Hey guys new to this thread and Bodhi gear. I picked up Space Monkey, Prayer Tower, Axis and Sky Lotus. I've followed this thread for a while and looking forward to getting to know everybody. New to Bodhi, not new to growing, 48 years under my belt there, but learn something new everyday. For the last 10 / 12 years I've ran mostly Sannie's, Eskobar's USC, Dynasty's, AlphaKronik and Swami's Organic seeds gear, glad to add Bodhi to the runs.
How was Sannie's seeds? I'm guessing they're pretty good if you ran them for so long? Thinking of giving some of them a go. Also, have you tried any of his growing products such as the buffer tablets or bacto?

nothing like watching your best friend get ahold of a gram chunk of ice water hash and for a day and a half walking sideways, trying to sleep, looked miserable and I had to hold her up outside so she could piss. I see folks giving the cbd oil and I hear good things but i also see some of the cbd products being tested and some are having small percentages of thc in them. I'd get a good quality cbd oil, but I see stories of folks laughing at their dogs fucked up, it just hurt my heart. I made sure I didn't knock anything off my desk for her to get again. And I realize that was mainly all thc, man I felt sorry for her. Reminded me of babysitting all my friends eating too many mushrooms at one time, I can handle em, but i got friends that every single time, rehashing old negative memories,etc, crying, talk bout a buzz kill. So I could imagine how ole Sadie felt. But I do see many using good cbd oil in small doses and it works for them. But if its got any thc in it, you'll know pretty quick. jme
Well dogs have the cannabinoid receptors in them just like we do so it’s very beneficial for them to be dosed with thc oil if they have cancer. You’d want to pay close attention and try to dose them right so they don’t get crazy high of course. My miniature schnauzer had a few tumors on her and I made thc oil with coconut oil and it destroyed those tumors. It turned into big sores and then started disappearing. She got in the habit of licking the oil off as I applied it and she got to high one time and hid in the back of our closet. I felt horrible. So if more pop up I will put one of those collars on her so she can’t lick the area being treated. THC oil without a doubt destroys tumors though and it was easy enough to make.

The people getting their dogs stoned on purpose don’t deserve to own pets.

Grow here in small containers recycled organic and I use compost teas and a weak Alfalfa/Kelp tea throughout. Molasses is welcomed always. My containers hold about 7 qts but T 3 gal or better the soil mix is about al they need.
I agree with the idea of a weak tea. Also using recycled organics and for me full strength tea can be too much. I don't use tea on a schedule really. Just once or twice during flower. Sometime early on, second time maybe halfway through if it looks like they need it.

I usually don't keep the pheno with the biggest bud, but I did it with this seed pack! I'm a couple of weeks behind you, but they will start showing around week 5 or so. I've kept this pheno for about 2yrs now because it does check a lot of boxes. I'm looking forward to updates!
Yo! ah sweet, ive got another BR thats bigger but not as frosty...im hopeful on both ladies, theyre both looking marvellous so far. look forward to seeing yours too man

Yes,just water.i have used tea in the past with this soil mix and it was not beneficial.it seemed to burn my plants if that makes sense? Like the tea made ALL my ingredients available at once.
Do you use compost? I was having a hard time with EWC and compost for a while. I came across podcasts talking about Grokashi taking toxicity out of manure compost. So, I tried it out and it seems to be working great. Leaf compost and Grokashi top-dressing.

These were looking pretty bad, you can tell the old growth looks like hell but it grew out of it. I used a fermented plant juice(FPJ), leaf compost, and grokashi. I took these pics a week later. They went from total ass to looking pretty good. These are the same plants from the pic above, just a week prior. My soil tests kept coming back low in micro nutrients, so I finally started using Azomite in my home-made grokashi.

It's taken me almost a year, but, slowly but surely, I've caught up to the end of this thread, so now it's time to contribute.

Y'all have inspired me to buy a good few Bodhi packs. I'm a single-seed grower, no pheno hunting for me. I tend to enjoy just about every plant that I can manage to keep alive to maturity. Variety is the spice of life, but I'm generally a high potency indica smoker for 20+ years here in Northern California, these days mainly Cookies and OG's.

So, that's where I'm coming from when I say this:

I've grown out a few Bodhi plants over the past few months, and I have a few thoughts to share. (Oh yeah, I don't take notes, count days, or much any of that. I pretty much make sure the pH fluctuates between 5.5 - 7.0, and that's it. Give 'em a little bit of this and that when they need it lol.)

Plant #1: Larry Lotus (One seed, one female)
This plant needed a good cure more than most. My go-to cookie plant will knock you out right out the tent, so I sometimes forget to give it a good cure before judging a new strain. This plant grew beautifully; stacked up with two big crystally colas, but it didn't smoke like Larry. Nothing like it. Genuine Larry will give anyone a nice cerebral knock, but this did not have it. No terps, no potency. So, I shelved her.

A month or so later, I saw a Larry plant online, and I started craving Larry, so I broke back into the jar. At this point, it has a knock reminiscent of Larry, as well as some delicious, nasty terps. Larry seems lemony to me, but this was like nasty, rude lemon funk. It kind of reminds me of how DNA's 24K makes Tangie taste so rotten and foul, yet still tangerine-ish. That's what's going on here.

My verdict is in: I'm going to give her one more run, fill up a jar, and let her go. I don't have the rest of the pack, so that will be it.

Plant #2: Goji OG (One seed, one female)
Oh boy. What they say about Goji is so true. When it comes to growth, she just really can't be stopped. I have run my single cut in one-gallon, two-gallon, and three-gallon bags, and the three-gallon was the way to go. (With most strains, 3 gallon doesn't increase my yield much.) But any way she runs, she just goes and goes and goes. And her smoke... boy, that is one positive, introspective experience. Nice dense and thick smoke, narcotic enough to relax a heavy indica chainsmoker, but a nice happy mood. I put her right up there with Gelato to smoke, but immeasurably better to grow.

The verdict: I am going to get all the mileage I can out of this one seed, before I explore the rest of my pack. Perhaps, I will soon crack another, in hopes of finding a male to make a huge batch of F2's. (I imagine that I could flower a huge Goji F2 seed plant in the backyard in April and May.... hmmm.... This bad girl would probably make a load of seeds!)

Plant #3: More Cowbell (Original - Three seeds, two males killed for space, third one was female)
This is a nice, solid plant. It makes some really top-notch, large cookie buds. The plant structure is amazing compared to most cookie plants. I would say that this is as potent and fast-acting as any cookie hybrid. I would say it is more potent than Dosidos, but maybe a little less than GMO, and definitely less euphoric than Sherbet or Gelato. In other words, it still KICKS ASS.

In reality, though, like almost every cookie hybrid out on the market, it's a step down from the original. The Forum Cut has a density and instant effect that is undeniably better than this ONE FEMALE PHENO I grew of More Cowbell. My SCOUT MASTER clone still reigns supreme.

The verdict: Running 2 three gallons under the COB's right now, keeping the clone, and I have another clone that I believe I am going to reverse pretty soon here. While not quite as devastating as the Scout Master, it's structure, combined with still A1 top-shelf effects, make this what I think is the ideal reversed-pollen "father" for some exciting fem seeds. (I always have a bunch of interesting plants in various stages of flower, and I personally like to run about 50% fem seeds, so I thought I'd make some female cowbell hybrids. I think that is a superb idea!)

Plant #4: Raspberry Hashplant (One Seed, One Female, Popped another seed, got a boy!)
(Goji Raspberry Pheno x 88g13hp) Wow. I have to admit, I like this plant even more than my one pheno of Goji. The effects are just about the same as the Goji, very elevated and thoughtful, but it does have a bit more of that THUMP that I gotta have. This plant is also wild and unstoppable when it comes to growth, maybe even moreso than her mama (Goji.) The first run was practically 12-12 from seed, in a 1 gallon bag. When I noticed she was a female, I chopped the top and rooted it, and let her finish flowering. She ended up a beast of a plant, just about filling up a quart jar from a 1 gallon plastic grow bag.

The real story on RHP is this: Once I filled up that jar, my lady and I smoked NOTHING else until the jar was gone. I have the best of the best strains on hand, pretty much always. This was all we wanted.

I decided to give her one last run, in a 3 gallon smart pot, vegged out real fat, sitting dead-center in the tent. I couldn't justify keeping my Goji plant, this one, and trying out Soul Mate and Soul Food, both of which I recently picked up. So, I kept the Goji, since those seeds are no more.

I popped one more RHP, just for kicks, and it was a boy. I have one branch in a cup of water right now. I'm hoping to get a bit of pollen for a few F2's before the big girl finishes up. Timing actually looks perfect.

Not all of my Bodhi has been girls. I have had some occurrence of males:
2 SSDD
Field Trip
Nikah
2 Granola Funk

I have some thoughts on the hashplant father
I really like the 88g13hp hybrids. I think they have enhanced structure over almost any original and wonderful vigor. I also think they really excel at conveying a decent representation of indica plants to those who can't access original or at least selected clones. The hashplant daddy doesn't change too much about the terps or quality of effect. With some strains, like Goji, I imagine that it increases potency, and that is why Raspberry Hashplant, Soul Mate would be excellent choices. RHP gave me all the outstanding quality of a Goji high, with added kick. On the other hand, for other, strong strains, I can't help but think the hashplant drags the potency down just a tad. Given the choice of Girl Scout Cookies or More Cowbell, I would generally choose to smoke the GSC... but I'd take the Cowbell over just about anything without cookies :P

That being said, if you live in a place where original or at least selected cookie cuts are not available, go get you some cowbell. Seriously. That's pretty much the real deal, and it is sooo great.


As a matter of fact, after all this typing, I think it's time to pack a bowl of MORE COWBELL!


(I forgot to mention Cherry Queen, who people seem to be interested in. I grew one of them. Maybe I'll post about it tomorrow.)

Very nice,it looks like you've sorted things out.I've read your posts in the organics threads,I admire all your work and research you put in.
Yeah,the soil I'm using has been stored for two seasons now.i made up coots mix with alfalfa meal added as well.i believe that's part of my problem.my outdoor plants loved it and could take the soil being a bit hot.not so with my indoor.
Nu-be hooked me up with a nice recipe I've got a cut of this goji in.i'm going to veg the cut a little longer.i do believe its lost a bit of its vigor as I've had it for over a year, had not flowered it til july/aug,so there have been cuts of cuts(I suck at keeping moms and I don't have the room)but it was a complete sleeper.i harvested it in September not thinking much,but after toking it's turned out to be my favorite pheno out of the 3(I believe) I've grown indoors.strong and tasty.looking forward to see what it will do with a little more attention and being in a nice soil

Have any of you been to the 4-corners region of Colorado? I was so lucky to have family out here,I got to travel out every other summer for a month as a kid.Mesa Verde and the Cliff Dwellings could be a wonder of the world,imo.if you can make it,do it.
Flew out with a family member this week.Picture is of the Sleeping Ute(clouds are covering part of him)

my lone pleiadian love nest female. i had a pack, gave away some beans, dropped a few, had some that died, and was left with two strong representations, a male & a female. this girl was put outside late in september, left out in the cold in october, covered by a little snow in november. it was set underneath & pollinated by a 10ft male in the yard to make f2's for a great soul on these forums that gives to all. due to it not finishing & it being too cold to be left outside, i brought it in to the tent. it is beginning to flourish indoors though, but one of my cob light bars went out last week, so its in the back of the tent, 2ft away from the front square cob rig. i know it was a cardinal sin to bring an outdoor plant inside, but i havent seen any bugs from it. if possible can any of you great souls share any info on phenos to look for, or flowering times ?

.i believe that's part of my problem.my outdoor plants loved it and could take the soil being a bit hot.
Ground soil has a lot more minerals in it, so that could be what you are missing. Every soil test(potting soil) that I had was coming back low in Mn, Zn, Fe, and B. Farmers call ground soil "mineral soil". Minerals are a big part of high brix gardening too. The ferments are made from brown sugar, also a part of high brix. Just figure out a way to raise your brix levels... Thanks for stopping by my organic thread! By the way, your stuff is looking pretty good and you probably just need a minor adjustment.

Day 18 from flip and this is the Lemon Lotus leading the pack IMHO. It was the short bushy one of the first three. It is also the same one showing the odd leaves I shared here. It has slightly doubled its height in stretch.
DSCN9823.JPG
It also has the most trich development so far. Sorry for the spam but after almost a year of seeing endless beautiful flowers, I am just glad to be able to show trichomes in this thread lol

This is the other Lemon Lotus I had out today. It is the one that seemed in between the christmas tree one and the short bushy one. It looks like it has the structure to yield well. I also am not trimming the bottoms like I usually do because I will be revegging any keepers.

Here’s a quick snap of a lower from a space monkey, frost monster but wish it was more terpy.View attachment 4242067
View attachment 4242066
If you don’t find anything super stinky in the monkey I’d say pop the rest of the pack. They are in there trust me. My keeper monkey smells really sweet lavender berry almost a little grapey it’s a very seductive scent in early flower then changes to a fermented chem funk by the time you chop her and cure her. But the lavender and berry notes are more on the back end after cure. Taste and high are awesome too.

How was Sannie's seeds? I'm guessing they're pretty good if you ran them for so long? Thinking of giving some of them a go. Also, have you tried any of his growing products such as the buffer tablets or bacto?
Only overseas breeder I will use, since 2012 I've had one package not make it and he re shipped no questions ask. I've used the Bacto, good stuff, but I went to the Coots / Gas simplified LOS soil mix and earthworms are my source of Myco / Bacs, they're cheap! Sannie's is more than a seed bank, it's Sannie and a collection of breeders that really work the strains listed for sale. If you have any questions regarding feel free to PM me, don't want to talk to much about other breeder's on a Bodhi thread. I will say that his Silverfields is still my favorite all time smoke and Sugar Punch is the one of the worlds best fem strain, very stable, it and RP's Skywalker Og ( hoping Sky Lotus will take it's place in reg seed) are the only Fem's I will run. Seriously PM me with any questions, I'm familiar with all the breeder's there and ran most everything in shop.
Best,
Baq
