In my shoes would you tear down your stuff?

Damn. Thats a hard questionā€¦ My op is pretty small. I doubt i would catch prison time. I guess this why we should all be using ā€œSAFEā€ addresses.

I donā€™t want to jump to conclusions for you, but if it mentions anything specifically about them being cannabis seeds Iā€™d be inclined to tearing it down and setting up shop somewhere else. If someone recieved your seeds (and knows what they are) and knows it was meant for you that could bring all sorts of problems, not just getting busted. If the packaging is vague chances are theyā€™ll either send them back to the return address or throw them in the trash having no clue what they are after opening them (if they even open them in the first place.) If by the rare chance they landed on another growerā€¦ Well someone is having a wonderful day. With all the crazy stuff going on in the world (like random seeds being imported from China) chances are your greatest loss will only be the seeds. Stay safe man.

Well, it is a JBC seed shipment of Bodhi. It will have nothing on it that says canna on it. Just Bodhi Seeds. Iā€™m not too concerned because JBC wraps everything up fairly well.

The person would have to do some research unless they know what seeds look like. And that may be a stretch.

Though to be fair, its a felony for them to open the package if itā€™s not addressed to themā€¦

I checked my notes for the Strange Brew and I have them listed as outdoor freebies. Not sure why Bodhi makes that specific note about this strain but just be aware to keep an eye on them if you planned on running them indoors.

I have several packs in the vault with no real plans on running them anytime soon. If you are interested in running them and will actually do so Iā€™ll happily send them to you, just send me a safe address in a direct message. Fair warning though they are no longer in their original Bodhi packaging. I have them stored in containers for long term storage in my seed fridge.

Purple Wookie V2 (RKUf3 x Wookie 15)

This one surprised me a little bit. First off, I screwed up germinating the pack in some re-used coco, and most of the seeds rotted or stalled, whoops! :sleepy: Lesson learnedā€¦ Iā€™ve been using Coast of Maine organic seed starter and havenā€™t had an issue since. I was left with four plants that made it and one was runtyā€¦ so I was feeling a little bummed. I let the runt live, and eventually she turned around and ended up being the only female out of the remaining four plants. I culled the males this time, but Iā€™m kicking myself as I always do when I donā€™t make F2ā€™s!

The runt eventually took off and started growing normally through her vegetive state. Once she hit flower, she just exploded. Shot up to about 3.5x her size and flowers started stacking hard. She slowed her stretch pretty quickly once she started stacking. She quickly became the stinkiest thing going in my tent at the timeā€¦ what I smelled is a very sweet lavender floral scent up front and a grapefruit tang in the back with a tail of new shoe rubber at the end. It is very interesting, I kept wanting to rub my fingers on the flowers and shove my fingers up my nose. :shushing_face:

She did end up taking awhile to finish, I think I brought her to something like 75 days total, she really probably could have used five more. But she produced huge colas of dense nicely cone shaped buds. I ended up needing to support them from the tent ceiling. This phenotypeā€™s structure could be a little more stout, she did begin to flop at the end under her weight. Iā€™m running a clone of her again now, so weā€™ll see how bad she flops this time.

Trimming was not too bad on her, but definitely not easy like a cookie or OG plant. She had some lower larf I couldā€™ve cleaned up better, but even the smaller nugs maintained good density. They are a little leafy for my taste, but flavor and effects make up for it.

Now that sheā€™s been in the jars for a while, the smelled has changed, but still very loud and potent smelling. Now sheā€™s taken on more of a grape-y skunk smell. I smell sweet grape first, but others say skunk firstā€¦ lost the new shoe smell unless you really break up the buds, and knew what it smelled like before drying. A friend commented, ā€œgrape skunk berriesā€ is what he would use to explain the smell. Definitely the type of herb that you open up a small jar somewhere and thereā€™s no escaping the stench, and you know someone is holding that good. The purple color couldā€™ve been more pronounced, if thatā€™s what youā€™re going for, you can still see it in the dried buds, but itā€™s not some straight up purple bud. The buds are pretty solid though, you donā€™t need a grinder to break them up, but it makes it easier. The resin is not the dry brittle type, more of the slick oily type.

I usually vape, so the taste comes through really nice on this one. I get a sweet grape berry taste, and on lower temps the taste really comes through. The rosin is kinda weird, I get the grape taste, but also this weird kind of fishy taste that I donā€™t really like. Maybe curing more will take that out, Iā€™m not sure? Iā€™ve been vaping her mostly, but the smoke has good flavor as well, it just doesnā€™t come across as strongly when you burn.

Effects are pretty damn good. Iā€™ve always heard that purple cannabis was kind of weak. I donā€™t find that to be the case with this cultivar. I wouldnā€™t say the effects will blow your head off, but I get a super nice daytime high. My creativity and creative energy levels almost always go through the roof with this one. I want to pick up the guitar, or work with my plants, or write this write upā€¦ my brain starts feeling alive with new ideas faster than I can process them. I get feelings of excitement and a big appreciation of all the life going on around me. I donā€™t get any couch lock or behind the eyes heaviness, sometimes I get a slight headband effect, where it feels like my skull is expanding or contracting, I canā€™t tell. Effects last about 2 to 2.5 hours, tapering off, without leaving me tired or super hungry.

I think thereā€™s some magic in the Purple Wookie v2, and it makes me even more bummed now that I didnā€™t get to try a couple different girls. Iā€™d even consider buying another pack of it, because the Wookie dad definitely seems to bring the heat. I doubt I could find one now thoughā€¦ Running this pack definitely makes me more excited to run the Space Monkey and Lemon Wookie v2 packs I have, to explore that Wookie 15 dad further.

Bud Structure/Bag Appeal - 7/10 - Little leafy, but trichome covered and dense
Smell/Taste - 9/10 - Doesnā€™t get much better, except for the weird taste in the rosin.
Effects - 8/10 - has been my go to daytime, could last a little longer

I think youā€™ll be alright. We tend to think the worst because we know exactly whats in the package. But just keep in mind that it is a felony to open mail not addressed to you so that will dissuade most people from opening it to see whats inside.

Even if someone were to open it all they would find would be some packs of seeds. With spring coming alot of people are getting their vegetable seeds mailed to them so I am not sure a normal person would immediately jump to the conclusion that they were cannabis seeds.

Has anyone grown out the Acapulco Gold? Apologies if Iā€™ve glossed over it, getting some in a trade and not sure if I want to attempt it indoors.

Beautiful bud man!

I wouldnā€™t be worried then. Thereā€™s a decent chance they will even show up for you. The mail is in chaos right now. A family member who lives 15 minutes away sent a card and it took 6 weeks to get to me. I ordered some other plants (not canna) and Iā€™ve be dealing with getting them reshipped to me after some confusion. So yeah, no worries theyā€™re just seeds.

Was gonna mention this also. I almost bought a pack of the tigermelon along with several other older Bodhi packs from another member here. After tons of hours of research I asked that the Tigermelon be excluded from the deal, which they were. Im grateful for the friends Ive made here and all the information that we share with each other.

I wouldnā€™t be too worried either man. Hopefully, if they did end up at your neighbors or something, theyā€™ll do the right thing and return them. The mail has definitely been messed up lately too. Probably worth waiting it out for that MDS!

JBC got back to me and said that this happens and the package always ends up getting to itā€™s destination. He said give it a few days and it will probably show up.

Thanks everyone for the words of wisdom. I was having one of those crazy ā€œWar on Drugsā€ level panic attacks for the past few hours. I feel much better meow.

I grew the snow lotus bx last summer, there are pics in this thread. It finished at around 6 feet tall and looked like a christmas tree, not a squat plant but it had fantastic structure, large buds, and stank around the block.

This is a very very good point . Because it would take an illegal action to actually verify what is in that package , any legal action that would be attempted due to that would be thrown out of court based solely on that .
@Tommy_McCain
Anything used against you from that point on would be inadmissible evidence. Same as an illegally gained wiretap or search warrant.
The way my mind works I would be more worried about a sack of shit receiving those seeds , knowing what they are , then concluding that the address must have a grow they should rip off.

I always error on the side of caution but ya it is your call.

@iamyou_youareme beautiful job on the report and growing those. Thank you for sharing

Iā€™m not a person or location you would want to come looking around for a grow. I would see someone from a mile away, literally. Iā€™m a paranoid veteran from a war in Afghanistan. Pleaseā€¦come by.

Letā€™s just say my dogs are not friendly and neither am I.

The boy was on the run a few years back, lost the mother.
Thatā€™s not saying he picked up a clone of her some where cuz I knew a few that had her, Manicgrower for one. Possibly DocD.
But Iā€™m relatively certain the dad is not.

Used to talk with Karma quite a bit at the Club and after a couple times the club closed down.

Very generous guy came into the club dropped a half dozen different strains.
I ended up getting Headbanger, headstash and there was one more.
While he was on hiatus talked with and was gonna send me some more heā€™s but fell thru.

This reminds me of that famous line from the DeNiro/Pacino movie ā€˜HEATā€™. ā€˜ā€˜Donā€™t let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner.ā€™ā€™

@Tommy_McCain Hold your fire. Wait it out, before you hit the eject button. Have a backup plant to breakdown everything in 10 minutes. Buy a bunch of wardrobe moving boxes, keep them in the room - outside the tent/tents. That way if they return with a warrant, everything is broken down and all of the vegetable matter is on your compost pile, out back.Take it even a step further. Leave the grow tent and lights up. Start growing at least 2 tomato plants under each light/alongside your plants. If HATERS Incorporated comes aā€™knocking you only have to dispose of plants and show them your ā€œvegetable gardenā€. :face_with_monocle:
