Back in the late 80's I had one strain someone gave me. I believe it to be some type of skunk. My buddy had Northern Lights, so we traded and grew them both. That skunk I had is widely considered the best anyone around here has smoked. Even now. It had so much trich coverage that I would store the buds in a tin and before long the entire bottom of the tin was covered. I used to scrape it up and smoke it in a bowl. One hitter for sure.
Fast forward a decade and I was growing again. I have been through some "nice" strains- mostly female seeds such as SLH, the various kush's, LSD, Mr. Nice, Vortex, etc. None of them produced the old trich piles I used to get, except one came close- Apollo 11.
I didn't know A11 was Bodhi at the time, and didn't really care. I grew that bitch for years and loved it. Then it was gone. I kept buying seeds, looking for that old favorite, or something like A11.
Then I stumbled upon this thread and was intrigued. I found the old seed packet of A11 and was somewhat shocked to see it was a Bodhi. Too bad it was long gone by then.
So, now I have a bunch of Bodhi seeds. There have been a couple that I didn't care for (probably didn't get a good pheno), but SSDD, Space Monkey, and Goji OG all produce that magical trich coverage that I believe rivals that old skunk. I realize some of it is looking through green colored glasses and romanticizing that old grow.
And, I have A11 back! It's just like I remembered and will be featured in my garden for years to come. So, I want to thank the folks here for all the valuable info. And to the guys who hooked me back up with A11!
With all the Bodhi crosses, it can be hard to come to grips with the fact that he produces some great genetics. I used to use that term "pollen chucker" to refer to people like him, with just an enormous amount of crosses. But now I don't think I'll buy from anyone else. And I get to test shit!
Here's to a great 2019 growing and sowing!!
