Testers from bodhi seeds
"What is the Heart? A flower opening."
~ Rumi
Environment: Grown in organic dirt in a 4x4 tent under low power LEDs. Happy plants throughout. At day 45v, I transplanted to 10gal bags, watered them in heavy, and then left them unattended for 15 days while out of town.

They did great!
I used straight R/O water the whole way aside from a topdress of malted barley, kelp/alfalfa, and EWC at transplant. Flipped when they hit 2mo old, they flowered 10 full weeks. Very sturdy stems despite 3x stretch, they were defoliated a couple times, leaving plenty for a reveg if necessary.
She's quirky, too. This is the first strain I've ever grown that, at lights out every night in veg and flower, produces a very distinct green vegetal smell, an exhale like a genie floating thru the carbon filter. It's kinda like fresh cut grass and really obvious. Very unique spirit.
The only stress was me stupidly underwatering the last 4wks (they're
very drought tolerant - whole tent only got 12gal of water the last month), low light intensity from defective LED drivers, and perhaps a pinhole light leak.
Not loud in flower, they had a roasted garlic and onion curry, pizza herbs and skunky funk the first half, then later they got very citrusy.
Dried, it's got that old school bag appeal, stinkier every day, TK all the way.
Samples were vaped and/or smoked in a fatty.
Pheno 1: View attachment 4557203 79g of solid buds. Nice plant produced spears as tops and conical lower buds. Good frost, easy trim, smells just like my favorite IPA (Pliny the Younger). For homebrewers, this smells like a boiling wort. Minty mouth coating dank & sour OG flavor. Creeper effects keep building and building until it's mind bending but not overwhelming. 7.5/10 potency. Somehow it kept me detached but functional for 2hrs+. Anti-inflammatory for aching joints and gives some pain relief.
Pheno 2: View attachment 4557204 52g of the frostiest, leafiest, most potent of the bunch. Smallest plant that went wide instead of tall. It's herbal and minty and rubbery in the jar, exploding into dank stank in the grinder. Tastes like marshmallows and minty toothpaste. Immediate effects come on in waves, faster heartbeat, trippy visuals - extra super baked like chems. Maybe more than chems. 10/10 potency. Dumbfounding and relaxing after blastoff, it's cartoony like mild shrooms yet still functional. Effects last 3-4hrs or more.
Pheno 4: View attachment 4557205 74g and a nicer looking version of pheno #2. Fuller buds, less leafy, still frosty. Bigger plant, louder than all her siblings, sweet citrus in the 2nd half of flower. Sweet & sour berry milkshake in the jar becomes extra mouth coating sour, cheesy OG funk + baked goods in the vape. Imagine a strawberry rhubarb pie made with extra stinky canna butter, then topped with parmesan cheese and slightly overcooked so it's got a toasted flavor. This one's the ultimate memory loss drug. Very sedating but scrambles my brains. 8.5/10 potency. One way rocket ship to the couch. Lasts 2hrs+.
Pheno 6: View attachment 4557206 87g and obviously the biggest producer in flower, but also the mildest smell. Dried and cured, she has the fewest terps until you grind it, which transforms it into fresh hops. Grinds fluffy and coarse, perfect for hogs legs. Smooth smoke has a mild flavor, sour, vegetal, and this is gonna sound weird - almost like roasted romaine wedges with a balsamic glaze - but it's unexpectedly good! Racy head rush to start, gives me the spins. Feels like being drunk at first, then can't focus on anything, scatterbrained until it finally calms down about 30min in. 7/10 potency overall. Oddly, this one becomes a functional day-brightener while also relaxing. Don't try to do anything right after smoking. Lasts 2hrs.
Pheno 7: View attachment 4557207 68g from the 2nd smallest plant in the garden, she was my favorite for looks with her sexy suntan and easy trimming. She really surprised in cure to become another toasty, baked goods, hoppy, brewery smelling pheno. Surprisingly, that turns into dill pickles and mint when ground up. The flavor is bitter dryer sheets, toast, acidic nutty coffee. Another creeper, but after 10min it's heavy eyelids with a head trip. Disconnected from body, mildly psychedelic like others. 8.5/10 potency. Very clear eyesight, becoming more visual/psychedelic over time. 3hrs later it's time for a nap.

Medicinal value? Yeah, could be good for many. Pain relief, anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety in some phenos, and mild psychedelic effects in others.

Overall impression? Clones well, vigorous, extra stretchy in flower, even revegged great, but throws a few nanners so keep your spray bottle n tweezers out. Smooth smoke, great flavors, small yields of 100% headstash. Delicious after a few weeks curing.
Keeper? Yep. This is the heady indica I was looking for. Although I prefer rocket ships, every pheno's good. Hope bodhi makes more.
