Seed Run Co-Op Rare or Discontinued Preservation Project In-house Special

It’s in my calendar to start them April 7th. I’m planning on putting them outdoors for an open pollination run this summer.

The following summer I’m thinking about running Bodhi Strawberry Blockhead x Aruba or Bodhi Sensi Seeds NL#5 noof cut x Malawi Gold outdoors.

Got to bring some of these limited released packs of strains back to life. Bodhi only released 30 packs of Big Sur Holy Bud, 25 packs of NL5 x Malawi Gold, and according to big shoe on IG 10 packs of the Strawberry Blockhead x Aruba.

Any other recently departed legends?

I thought I had heard Adam Dunn saying he was planning on re-releasing Big Sur, and another cultivar he has in his library. I heard it was some nice shit.

Federation Seed Co (now defunct) would be a nice company to try and get back some of the original genetics.
Their Hawaiian Sativa was super, and also I had a killer Romulan X Mikado. Kick ass Cotton Candy, tasted just like Haze. Very unique profiles.
If I remember right, I believe their mother stock was stolen?

@50State I would love to see the big sur holy bud reproduced as well. that stuff is legendary for people from the sf bay area to san louis obispo. supposedly it’s a worked hybrid of oaxacan x iranian, and pretty psychedelic.
preserving some of those limited release bodhi lines would be an amazing project.
Landraces and heirlooms are the backbone of all modern cannabis, and the more varieties we can preserve and distribute the better it will be for the future biodiversity of cannabis and the community at large.

I’m hoping to reproduce a few discontinued packs this year, but as always it will be secondary to my medical grow so I’m not sure how much time and space I’ll be able to commit. I’ll plan on letting you all know as the projects are completed.

I’m not sure which packs I’ll be working with yet, the genetics will be determined by my medical needs at the time. I have a small but diverse collection of seeds ranging from landraces to local bay area varieties to a range of bodhi’s crosses including modern hybrids, pure indicas, and heirloom sativa hybrids. The goal was to have enough variety that no matter what happens with my muscoloskeletal condition, I will have something on hand that is applicable to my current symptoms.

My primary breeding project this year is an outdoor open pollination of a real seed co Himalayan charas strain. In my small indoor grow, I’ll try to get through as many bodhi strains as I can. I’ll be making f2’s with the initial plants grown from seed, and cloning all the females for a big sinsemilla batch from each pack. I’ll be putting clones of all selected females outdoors to join the Himalayan open pollination as hybrid out-crosses.

Good luck on the 2019 growing season everyone!

Cool stuff @zephyr! Which RSC Himalayan strain are you going to run? I’m also planning to run some of their stuff this year, primarily out of their middle Eastern lines.

I’ve got the real deal though! And you posted in deeprobs giveaway ole boy!

I got 4/4 germinated & kept a single female, for later this year. I’d love some pollen… :wink:

I’m trying to decide between the malana cream and the kumaoni charas plant. Each outdoor season I’m slowly working on reproducing and acclimatizing their lebanese and himalayan varieties for my local growing conditions in the Pacific Northwest.
I have a few of their strains that were gathered at the point of origin- lebanese, kumaoni, malana, and manipuri sativa.

Looking at their site now, it seems like they have some interesting new acquisitions and reproduction lines.

The Black is a Bld strain that has been in Canada since the 80’s. Long before even bcbd supposedly “stole” it. Been around long before I even started smoking.

Big sur sounds amazing.

Nice dude. That’s a cool project.

I know @cannabissequoia. I have to come clean. I got a pack last year sometime. I put them away for a future run, and haven’t been able to find them since.
You are the only one I have ever told that sad tale. Other than Ms oleskool who helped me search repeatedly for them. Ok I did it!

This is amazing! I looooove what you folks are doing here. I definitely would like to contribute here.

I have a couple interesting packs I have in mind for this project. If things go smoothly for me over the summer I can definitely do one and maybe two single pack open pollinations this winter. HOLD ME TO IT! One in particular I think some folks will get excited for as I’ve seen interest expressed in it for this project on other Bodhi F2 threads.

drumroll…

Cheers!
