bodhi seeds

I've not run many Bodhi seeds yet, but I've not had the runt issue with them. I'm a bit abusive to sprouts when I put them to soil, so I get some ugly starts sometimes anyway. I've been getting better, but there's room for improvement still.
I do have an ugly runt LBF f2 from Bad Dawg, but I'm sure it's on me.
The 1 Jungle Spice I have was slow to start, but is with the group now...though I suspect it's a male.
I have noticed that they occur in space monkey at about 1 in 20 or so. I worked on a legal farm in the triangle. We popped approx 156 or so, and got 6-7. A few in the Guava Wookies but at a lower rate. My guess is it is a recessive trait in the wookie 15 father. I saw it in a coupleof other wookie crosses as well.

So that's not fun to run across. Thanks for sharing. I'll adjust my plans on numbers to start when I run a gifted GSC cross I got.
I wouldn't say it happens alot. They try to breed out those traits but it does happen. I popped a bunch of thug pug and only one strain- thugs breath had a few runts that I culled off. Also some of the ogkb pheno (you can tell them by the duckfoot fans) can produce fire bud even though they are very slow in veg.

Seeds are like guns and condoms in that sense...better to have them and not need them, than to need them and not have them.
there was a gun store owner in indy that had that mantra. he also used to say " i dont want to make any money, i just love selling guns..."

to keep it bodhi related, i have throughly enjoyed the posts by all, even the spats. i don't know of another forum that has such gratitude & freely shared knowledge amongst its posters. this past holiday feeling uninspired to celebrate, i only picked up 1 pack of beans, hopefully peach hashplant will be something special to remember about the first third of 2020 instead of the current state of affairs in the world. to all the great growers continue on, be it a 2x2 in a closet or a field of flowers with 10,000gallon water tanks, keep searching for kind bud.

I did not have that experience with any of the runts. I am not dogging the genetics, i love bodhi's gear and have popped 1000's of seeds across numerous crosses and 8 different wookie crosses. I am simply stating my personal experience with this particular father.
Ya I hear ya, I killed off a few runts this run, just didn't have the patience. I have to keep things moving...even if they bounce back they can still be somewhat sluggish in veg.

I see 9 tiny seedlings looking alike and one runt or oddball I get excited for the oddball. The 9 are most likely going to be somewhat similar but I KNOW the oddball is gonna be different. More than once it’s been the best plant of the bunch. I had a keeper “runt” for years. Drives me crazy when people cull plants without giving them a chance. If I HAD to cull a plant (for space reasons) it would be one that looked identical to another one.

I hear ya, I have a Grandmas Hashplant that is 4 months old and is only about 10 inches tall. It is a bush and I hope to take cuts of it and those will stretch enough for me to flower. We will see, sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. I like oddballs, probably because I am one, just like most of us on here! Lol.

Well some good with the bad I suppose... my massive stalk took a toll during a SMALL tie down lol...(the women did it)! Been such a rugged plant I taped her up and chopped the top 8-10" out of tops as to not deal with it anymore. Should have done this 4 weeks ago... but wtf right. Cant win every battle... for a 2" split at topping site, it has no sag far as I can tell. Maybe leaves are straight for once and not straight up.. pray for me! Also stripped more low junk out as to only stress it once. I think she will be ok... a week will tell. Back right big girl in tent pic 20200428_201932.jpg
After bout 7hrs, so far so good lol...

Happy growing!
