I know that I’ve changed my mind a lot recently and have been all over the place but I have finally decided with a level of certainty what the next lineup will be. I don’t want to start a serious project but I also don’t want to be careless with the remaining K4xSSDD beans. My schedule here is still a bit chaotic and I’ve already accidentally disturbed the light cycle twice prior to pistil formation on the current genetics. This has led me to the conclusion that it isn’t a good time to make seeds where stress-induced nanners may form and go unnoticed. K4xSSDD project is on hold until I am better able to tend to the garden regularly. A stress free run of something there is a backup pack of seems ideal to me and is now the plan.
This has led me to Field Trip (GSC x SSDD) for a whole host of reasons.
- Thematically it seems appropriate given the current situation going on with B.
- Have read overwhelmingly positive reviews on the strain from people who have grown it.
- I have little personal experience with cookies genetics and would like to evaluate and form my own opinion on it rather than rely on the passionate anti-cookies sentiment here. Not a fan of the personalities or culture surrounding anything mainstream cannabis but that really has nothing to do with genetics at all.
- The SSDD male sounds more attractive than the male used in the only other cookies strain that I’ve grown (Granola Funk)
- Nanners won’t really bother me should they appear with no seed project going on
- Have a backup pack in the event something spectacular is found or really enjoy the strain.
My introduction to gardening was over 20 years ago with extremely powerful dutch genetics that were gifted to me as cuttings, some of which were too strong for comfort. Over time I grew receptive to the idea of selecting varieties of lesser potency but with interesting effects and that led me to some pure sativa strains as well as a lot of Dj Shorts work. I’m no stranger to the idea of the importance of effects, but at the same time you have to try a lot to know what effects you actually like. For a good amount of time I dismissed the OGs as hype without trying them which was a big mistake as they actually turned out to be favorites of mine, and notably the effects really resonate with me. This was a lesson in humility and I don’t want to rely on the word of the passionate anti-cookie sentiment here, especially considering I already have the seeds.
For me almost everything I’ve had from Bodhi has had similar and satisfactory effects. The variety is fun to explore and keeps it interesting, but for me the biggest variation of concern has been in the physical form, smell, resin type, and calyx to leaf ratios. Calming, mellow, relaxing, focused , functional flowers are what I gravitate towards rather than the trippy and introspective. In my mind if that is the goal then psychedelics would provide a much more powerful and effective experience rather than just dipping toes in the water with Cannabis.
So with all that said 1 pack of Field Trip has gone into wet paper towels…
