This will be my personal thread for updating my progress on the Gogi OG Community preservation run. The main thread is located here:
First off, I want to thank @The_Lazy_Hippie for putting his trust and faith in me to do this run. I’m amazed that someone who I’ve never even met before would be so kind as to send me seeds. Not just any seeds… Bodhi’s Goji OG seeds! I’ve been hunting this strain down ever since I heard about it a few years back and I have nothing but mad respect for Bodhi and everything he’s about, so it was a no brainer for me to help out. Plus the vibe here is awesome and that’s why I wanted to get involved. Thanks to everyone so far for offering to help me or send me seeds or do giveaways. You’re all a bunch of beauties are far as I’m concerned and I hope these seeds find you well… Wherever you are!
Some info about this strain taken from JBC Seeds:
Also some clarification from Bodhi about the available cuts below, thanks to @nube for posting this info here: Bodhi Plant and seed guide (Part 1) - #3943 by nube
the 4 cuts that are still in circulation:
the goji b cut (my early favorite, from the original pop) pure goji berry og…
queen mother (most like the snow lotus, not my personal favorite, but for hash or rosin she is tops in production) shes still in Denver…
pinesoul… lemon pine cleaner og
goji raz (big, frosty, muted raspberry)
purple goji (shes bushier and does great outdoors)
it seems the queen mother and goji b are getting mixed up… they are very different in smell…
The Plan:
- Since there is a limited timeline, the first run will be an open pollination
- I’ll veg these plants out to about 6-8", top them and root the cuttings (around week 3-4)
- Approximately a week after the topping I’ll flip the originals to 12/12
- They will be run in a sea of green style in 2 gallon fabric pots in a super soil by a Canadian company called Stepwell (it’s worked out very well for me in the past)
- Identify males and separate to male jail and take extra notes on which ones start showing sex and dumping pollen first taking special notes on any and all observations
- mark all clones accordingly
- I’ll wait till they’re all dumping and then introduce all males to the ladies room for full coverage
- After pollination is complete (around day 28-35F) I’ll flip the light cycle back to 18/6 for best seed production
- Plants will start re-vegging at this point so it’s another opportunity to take cuttings if I need to
After the Open Pollination run has been completed I plan to start selectively breeding in certain directions for more specific preservation and line breeding. Could be a fun little project for me. If you notice any flaws in my plan or have any tips/pointers or specifics about this strain, I’d love to hear from you. I’m open to any and all feedback and I love learning new things, especially about this plant.
Seeds were rinsed in a distilled water and 3% hydrogen peroxide solution then soaked for 24 hrs and onto the paper towel. I also decided to give freeze dried coconut water a try for the natural gibberellic acid it contains and added a very small amount to the solution that I soaked my jiffy plugs in. All but 2 popped for me, so 9 out of 11 isn’t too bad. I have the 2 stragglers soaking again to see what will happen… I haven’t given up on them yet.
Now let’s make some FAT ass, healthy F2 seeds to share with everyone!!
