Lotta good points are being made, the f2 is where Pandora’s box opens for a strain. That’s where you’re going to find “all the expressions“ obviously at this point it will be a numbers game, the more you grow the more you’ll know! @Nutbag Poster hit the nail about how hard it is to find GOOD line work, that’s because to do proper selections and be sure to get the expression your looking for it takes a lot of grow/regrow cycles. You have to be good at selecting, patient, and willing to turn a project back even though you’re gonna lose some time! It’s hard and consumers want the flavor of the month, growers and tokers alike. Bodhi is mostly interested in primary expressions giving growers room to experience and experiment with genetics. On the Adam Dunn interview, I feel like Adam Dunn paid Bodhi a huge compliment! He told him that he went to his work to locate a new generation male! What you kind of don’t hear in that compliment, is that Adam feels like Bodhi is selecting for true breeding males. Let that sink in for a bit.

Out of interest what Breeders would you say those were?

I really dislike the idea of there being so many phenos from virtually every strain from most seed banks these days.

How much of its own Strain really is it if it doesn’t really represent a description of qualities well?
sounds like you're looking for someone like Nevil... but I don't know if anybody is going to that extent these days. Probably because there is so much competition and not enough time or resources to really go through all the processes while still staying competitive. Pheno hunting is also becoming more popular with more people growing now, as people often like to look for phenos that fit their personal tastes. And with landraces, there is a real effort to preserve the natural expressions of the plants, so as to not lose any of its unique traits. DJ Short, Archive, maybe Lucky Dog... some of the one's others have mentioned... I'm not sure about the European companies...
... AKBB has some good stuff and is a good guy, but he's not selecting or refining lines for consistency any more than anyone else, or even as much as Bodhi.

Outdoor clone run of the "Vietnamese x vintage Afghan" tester pheno 1 - sativa dominant ~ smells very pleasant, like sweet musk. Putting on lots of resin and stacking buds (slowly, probably due to floppage and not being supported enough) on its thin bendy branches. Pulling off at least two yellows per day, I'd say shes getting there!

This pheno seems to be very pest resistant. It's the only plant the capaTillers avoid and has no obvious thrip or aphid damage..

~thanks for sharing Mr. n Mrs. B!

Yes.. if you compare the effort of a "pollen chuck" with an elite pair, and the amount that goes into properly working a line (time/money/space) and no guarantee that it's going to work out.. there's no comparison. Plus the next guy can just buy a few packs and "steal" your work. I can understand why there aren't a lot of breeders doing it, doesn't make business sense. I try to support the ones that do, few and far between they are.

looking for a bodhi sedative im sure its something with 88g13hp but what, hmmm?

any suggestions ? thanks
I'm kinda responsible for kicking off a lot of talk that's kinda drifting away from Bodhi, so maybe I can try to steer things back. The topic's come up a few times recently and there's a pretty consistent opinion that the DLA-6 (Iraqi x G13hp) is a winner for sleep, sedation, and chilling-the-fuck out. Unique and something your friends don't have. Just one of a lot of options though.

So here's a challenge to the thread.... who's got a new pic, smoke report, or comment/opinion on a Deep Line Alchemy strain. Particularly the more recent #s. The DLA title is so very unenticing, particularly without some fruit word attached, but that series contains so many rare and special indica genes. If you want a killer nighttime strain and want to take a Bodhi adventure, those all sound SO cool. i bought 6 myself as well as 4 (heard raves there too...a sativa lean though). I'm super excited to get to those...along with so,so much other stuff though. Somebody's gotta get to wallowin' in those old hash genes. I know some people are on the task but I'm eager to hear updates. There's probably even more potential for consistent phenos (F1s with two kinda pure parents tend this way) ;) . Whether you should make up your own name for the boring DLA title or not is quite controversial. ;) Go Bodhi!

Just another update for the bodhi fans. I pulled my lucky about week early here in MI. 31 last nite. Snow this weekend. Needed room for another heater. Snow Temple and Dragonfruit are still putting on weight and throwing hairs. Go figure? GGRRR. GG's and Northern are almost ready.

Was a slow grower compared to the rest of girls. Didn't give the yield I was expecting. Nice structure and frost though. Maybe next pheno? It just got pushed back in line.

Unknown sweet smell with underlying skunk. Have a review when I get some dry on the few colas I kept. Rest just went to an in need person and his wife. I give all my overages away. Seriously.

Top cola wet. And yes I've removed the hairs. Dog sleeps in my greenhouse. Fair price for that level of security.

Hope all get to the finish. Been rough this go round. Peace. LUCKY CHARMS 001.jpgLUCKY CHARMS 002.jpgLUCKY CHARMS 003.jpg

Thought I'd keep the pics coming, gonna be harvesting these in the next few days...

Banana Punch x 88g13hp #1, Nice overripe fruit smell, good yield for being in a 10 gal pot, nice fall colors
image4 (2).jpeg

Strange Love (Forum GSC x Instant Karma), have 4 of these outside this year, a few are getting some nice fall color, already harvested one with a strong fuel smell, this one has bigger denser buds, bud not as loud
image1 (3).jpeg

Space Cake--nice big dense buds with a fruity cookie smell, nice color and good yield, other pheno has same structure but completely green

ssdd found a nanner a week or so ago, havnt found anymore...This reminds me of blue dream for some reason, I have never seen a ssdd but id imagine this plant looks like it...Looks very uplifting, smells very pleasant, I like it... My other ssdd is almost done but its below average imo

This plant looks very similar to the SSDD I had full sun this year. Thin leaves and super light colored buds with good frost and medium density(perfect for my climate). Just finishing taking mine down now, in a perfect world it would have like to go another week or 10 days. Lot of people not impressed by SSDD but so far I am
