Bodhi Guide - Seed and Strain Discussion (Part 1)

[nube]

This is a PSA to anyone thinking about buying older or rare gear from people. Be careful with reseller packs. There are several people on this site and IG buying up rare bodhi, strayfox, and CSI packs just to resell them at 200% to 1000% markup, and many people who purchase have had terrible germ rates from those packs.

I personally have grown two packs from one of these resellers, purchased by a friend of mine and gifted to me for preservation, and I had 0 germinate. They were old, but they weren’t that old - the resellers don’t store the seeds properly because they’re just doing it for greed.

So, long story short, the old/rare packs are NOT worth your cash, and if you stick around here and are kind, generous, and knowledgeable friend to the site, you might make friends who will gift you seeds or clones or both, or someone will do a preservation.

I think I found someone with some older Bodhi packs… he has a pack of Iraqi Triangle, y’all think should I snag that one? I was thinking to start with that one at least, as I wanted that Iraq Ranya daddy crossed with something, and what better than tk?

The TK x Iraqi was one I tested for bodhi. Here’s my whole test grow, condensed into a single post:

Bodhi Plant and seed guide (Part 1)

This past winter, I tested bodhi’s Triangle Kush x Iraqi. They turned out incredible, although somewhat unstable. Here’s a rather long post detailing the whole grow and tester report. [00 2018 Bodhi Testers TK x Iraqi.] They had great germ rates, all 11 popping long tails in 40hrs. [02 TKxI 40hr tails.] Those Iraqi beans are the ones rumored to be brought back from Iraq by a member of the armed forces and given to @Strayfox. This particular cross was first made by stray, then a separate …

I and the two other testers (@hamneggs here and @hu_man_and_a_plant_genetics on IG) all had unstable plants from this cross, nanners on many of the females and pistils on the males. So keep that in mind.

However, it’s unbelievably potent smoke if you find the right phenos. All of mine were flavor variations of sour hops minty dill pickle kush baked goods, with the keepers being minty pickles, which are not flavors you reach for. But I favor effects and potency waaaaaaaaaaaay more than flavor, especially since you can get baskin robbins 31 flavors and bland effects from almost everywhere in the hype market these days, but rare effects and potency are special and hard to find.

That iraqi is supposed to bring the mind fire. whatever that means.

Yes, one of my phenos (the small #2 leafy Iraqi leaner) was one of the most potent I’ve ever smoked, like taking a minidose of shrooms. I just toked on the other keeper #7 last night after 18+ months in jars and it’s still exceptional - both relaxing AND mentally stimulating that brings intense visuals when you close your eyes. I prefer the #2 because of sheer potency, but my gf preferred the #7 because it was less intense, more just feel good.

For anybody who doesn’t want to read my long post linked above, this is the #2 iraqi leaner and by far the best smoke:

And here is the less potent but still awesome #7 that was a hybrid between the two parents, with very good visuals:
