bodhi seeds

If it’s on Instagram I don’t take it seriously. If you type with as many pictures as words, I don’t take it seriously. You could pjotoshot the titanic sinking into the back of that photo and people will still think it’s real. I grew a few pretty purple Pwooks and they didn’t look nearly that purple.
TBH, I think it has lot to do with the grower, and setup. Just because you didn't a real purple one doesn't mean they aren't for real. I have a friend who tested the PW's, and he got some bonafide purples. One was BOTM at the bay. They are out there!

I don’t know where y’all live but running 3 tents full time only brings my bill up like 50-70 a month, really doesn’t break the bank. Plus I’m all about trying everything I can. You’re not gonna experience landrace sativa if you put a time cap on your grow like that. I’m not trying to argue with you, rather just explain my logic behind it. Yeah fast is nice but it’s by far my lowest priority.also depends on this; have I had a or b before? Do either of them have parents I like? Those certainly take priority as well.
of course of course.. The first year or two I grew out chocs and hazes that went to the 15-16 mark and there just wasn't enough of a difference between things that finished 9-11 to justify the extra month+.. People make a big deal out of sativa vs indica but imo if you smoke enough of most anything you will get couchlocked.. and if you smoke less you can catch some motivation.. I know plenty of people will disagree with that, but thats been my experience.

Good luck with that dragonsblood x :bigjoint:

thanks for the compliments- it turned out pretty good, but I think it is mostly the strain- there are more than a few growers on here that could probably get the trichome build up so thick, you'd think you could scoop it off the buds with a spoon.
I think you got it covered man can't have that perfect plant every time. That's why we all like the hunt so much right? Just hope I have enough space for it when I move lol. Maybe I'll get lucky and hit it perfect first round... I will be running bodhi after all.

There’s no risk with bohdi,he tests everything before releasing them. Gogi is a good one if you can find it

Been trying to find that for what seems like a lifetime and always see something else on there that I'm thinking looks good as well so I say f### it run it and buy more shit I don't need. Think i have bodhi disease.. one and probably the only one I'm ok with having till I go broke again anyway. Happy growing.

for sure there are rarities, and the way someone grows will produce differing results, but that one pic is almost certainly doctored- the almost neon coloring aside, that background looks like it was painted in, and that fog around the plant is just weird.

There are a bunch of doctored pics on Insta, but I tend to only follow breeders I like/trust and growers I know, most of them don't doctor any photos unless they make a note of it and it's usually just brightening or dimming or throwing a green filter on if they run blurples to show the plant color
u seen the "rainbow" buds? comments full of "i need that shit" and "fire".. fukn idiots

I've grown two other purple unicorn crosses, the purple and pink phenos rather uniformly still had green leaves; they definitely looked more like your pics than that one from IG.

IG is full of growers who have their heads up eachothers asses. The strain descriptions there often remind me of a certain former poster in this thread who raved about every Bodhi strain like every pack was full of perfect elites. Mind you, he's my favorite out there, but nobody has packs that are absolutely 100% going to have a keeper in the eyes of every grower who buys them.

Speaking of IG, did y'all see that a certain breeder has upped the price on their 'top tier' genetics to over $1000? Of course, if people will believe the Earth is flat, why not that a 10 or 12 pack beans can be worth $1000. I wish I could outcross one of their strains, give it a fancy highfalutin name like "Hypocrisy", and make a quick buck like a common thug; but when I grew their strains a couple years back I didn't find anything unique or remarkable.
This is why I don't even have a Instagram or Facebook or whatever you call the other ones. To much drama and if I got one it would be simply to hook up with a couple of my favorite breeders. And I have no clue who sells seeds for that money but I will never spend that nor could I afford to. Rather buy more grow equipment for a few more plants at that price. I don't know if anything is good enough to spend 1000 on with great genetics at a much cheaper price. I'd rather buy bodhi or dynasty etc.

I'm guessing if it looks better they think it will increase their sales. I'd much rather see all natural and no photoshop. A filter for a purple light is fine but don't enhance the bud photos to look better... false advertising. Like you said after a while you just learn who you can trust. Plus people here will weed out the shitty breeders and tell it like it is and not follow the hype. Here we find the truth. Happy growing. :bigjoint:

I have a small chat group on insta(about 10 people) guys that breed professionally, guys like me that grow personal, large grow guys, a straight up clone pimp, and a couple mycology dudes and we all pull no punches when it comes to genetics, if its shit its shit, those guys I trust, but hell most of em are from here at RIU :bigjoint:

I'll remember you when I need some advice on strains or something new to try from a trustworthy source. Everything I have seen from you seems solid.

by the way, speaking of colorful plants, Green Point's now retired "Sitting Bull" (which was glass slipper/stardawg) did consistently turn a beautiful blueish purple all the way through the fan leaves, but it was a dull color and not at all glow in the dark- the high was not very good on that one, which is probably why it was discontinued.

hah this is so true.. its so obnoxious and hard to read, people talking about those strains like they bred them themselves.

Hey thank you, That branch I showed was probably the furthest behind. I'm guessing about 2 weeks myself. Thats it right there, you have more experience than me. You've already grown it out and made the educated decision yourself. Thats what I need to and am doing. I highly suspect I will be sticking to shorter timed strains, generally most stuff I like leans that way anyways. I totally agree on the too much and a little bit of any strain thing.

1000 dollar seeds :wall::wall::wall: I know a guy who planted a pack of testerossa, guy grows fuggin trees too, every one of those plants went full meltdown in a weeks worth of California rain. A pack of free gods gift bx1s from doc dank did remarkable for him tho, so what's a pack of seeds really worth right?

$1000 pack of regs.. You look the shit up its nothing that special really either..

grape stomper x breathwork
gratefulbreath x grateful breath

wtf about thems say $1000? smh

I can almost understand payin big bucks for cuts.. if youre a cash cropper whatever.. but beans are a crap shoot. U dont kno wtf u might get

Sounds like a nice group to rub shoulders with. Too many fakes and scammers out here trying to push seeds that aren't what they present them to be.
