Bodhi’s Barefoot Doctor (CBD Blessings) is a cross of Harlequin x Sunshine Daydream. Posting this mini growlog & smoke report so it doesn’t get lost if another site goes down. Organic recycled soil under 600w of Cree 3590 COBs in a 4x4.
I started out popping 6 beans, but one didn’t sprout. Here they are at day 3 from sprout.
Day 10 looking vigorous compared to other sprouts of the same age.
Day 30. Upgraded to #1 pots around day 17. Still vigorous and the smell is heavenly - pink cotton candy, except for one that smells like a wet ashtray.
Day 37 right before moving into 17gal SIPs with #5 cloth pots.
Here they are 10 days after flip. From the left, BfDr 3 & 1 are in the back. I could only fit 4 plants in the tent, and wanted to run a couple Great Lakes Genetics freebies (dragboatjeffy’s Bad Dog Genetics GG4 x Longbottom Leaf), so BfDr #2 had to wait until next round.
Day 19 of flower, these two girls here turned out fairly stretchy, up into the lights and rigging. Most of the canopy ended up 2-8" from the COBs, which helped contribute some bleaching. These ladies were not happy with my soil going more alkaline and getting a little extra moist from the SIPs. That finicky side comes from the SSDD dad.
At the end of week 4, they’re smelling fantastic, like berry muffins. Until now they were beasting, but here they settled in a little and took another week to change much.
Here’s a garden shot right before lights on in the middle of week 6. Natural fade setting in all around, although a little accelerated for the Barefoot Doctors in the back.
Day 52. Faded but very stinky. Both are blueberry muffins & floral.
Day 56 and #3 turned out ultra frosty! Pale ghost.
No. 1 ain’t no slouch either. 
Harvest day 60 for phenos #3 and #1. Despite not liking my environment much, they produced pretty well. These are big solid chunkers. Here’s a couple pics of #3 before the chop.
The next round, I ran the #2 pheno. She had the same finicky nature and was not happy with my soil or watering, but still produced a good harvest. Here she was at day 58, about a week before chop:
In the end, I wasn’t too excited with the smoke, but the yields were pretty decent. There’s a partial smoke report over at https://www.rollitup.org/t/bodhi-seeds.518143/page-1475#post-13270923. Wish BreedBay was up, as my whole updated smoke report is there with the results of the other lady I got. Here’s a summary.
The #3 pheno was the best producer and most frosty, a big beast of a plant that went hard the whole way, despite being unhappy. The pale ghost #3 was a yielder and a frost MONSTER.
They all were harvested smelling like fruity berry muffins, and developed a combination of tart raspberry, blueberry, and cheese scents in cure. All three are dense like styrofoam. They don’t really grind up well - they kinda powderize no matter what you do, so they’re better in a vape or whole nugs in a bowl than ground and rolled up.
Pheno 1: 95 grams. Less photogenic than #3, smaller buds, less frosty. Mostly hard popcorn to 1g nugs. Mostly blueberry lemony muffins in flower, it’s cured to a tart berry with fresh cheese, like a Ritz cracker with soft stinky cheese and tart berry jam spread on top. Has some foot funk in the finish.
Pheno 2: 117 grams Decent nugs, resilient plant. This one turned out more tart raspberry than anything else. Very delicious flavor after a couple months in jars. Very tart raspberry. She had the most relaxed effects out of the 3, but extremely mild effects, so it might have had some CBD in it.
Pheno 3: 125 grams. Very pale, but frosty as anything I’ve seen. Larger nugs than #1, very dense. No larf. Very cheesy in the end - tastes like a sweet cheese with no hints of berry. Very smooth smoke – no coughing or harshness.
The effects are where this one falls. It was not at all what I was expecting. Phenos #1 and #3 caused a rush of severe chest tightness and shortness of breath immediately upon vaping. I’m not prone to anxiety about anything, ever, but these phenos make me feel bad physically. For me they’re not racy or heady at all, there are no forehead or back of the neck tingles. The only way I can describe it is uncomfortable body effects like you’re getting a painful bear hug and can’t breathe. They give my lady anxiety and chest pains. About 15-20min after enduring those really uncomfortable effects, sleepiness sets in, and then they’re narcoleptic. If you can manage to stay awake, or just take a short nap, you feel drugged and incoherent with chest heaviness for about half an hour to an hour. The #2 pheno has really mild relaxing effects, but none of them do much for headaches or body pain for me. I was not able to get it tested, so I don’t know if any of the 3 phenos actually had any decent amounts of CBD.
But, I want to add a disclaimer that other people DID like its effects, including people I shared the flower with and people who tried my F2. @torontoke grew out several of the F2 from these ladies and found them to be very heady, racy, but not super enjoyable, if I’m remembering correctly. Super frosty tho! Overall, not what I was expecting from a cbd blessings plant, especially one with SSDD as a parent, but that’s just how it goes sometime.
