SSDD, for me, had no odor so I'd grow that again in a heartbeat if I had to hide it.

I've seen some great #'s come out of those RDWC's. Good work!Yea, so I made the RDWC a few years ago after using flood/drain trays for years. I wanted a better root system and was failing with F/D. Plants grew OK, but in the end, the roots were not supporting huge growth.
Here is a shot of a root system:
Shortly after, I also switched from 2000 watts of HPS to 900 watts of COB. Both were great decisions, IMO.
I based the RDWC on the 6XL. The cost for the Current Culture system is about $1500- $2000. I made a replica for about $600. I used CC bulkheads, tubing, and pumps. I bought black totes with attached (and hinged) lids. I can grow one to three plants per tote.
Here are a few Gogis:
I love the system, but it is a lot of water to move. I have a garden hose that goes down to the room to fill it and another hooked up to a pump to pump it all out. I used to shop vac the water up and lug it out once a month. This system is WAY better! I also use Fertmax for the system, which is considerably cheaper than the CC brand fertilizer and exactly the same. My cobs keep the room below 80 degrees in the 90+ summer heat.

You'll get it nailed down. You can always go to Build-a-soil for the pre-packaged kits!

There's a few strains that don't get much traction anymore and a few oldies that do, like Blueberry Hashplant. Years ago when BBHP was released everyone had it, everyone grew it, and then everyone moved onto the next new Bodhi strain. Now that it's gone I've seen it's name pop up more and more. Funny how that happens =).Thats pretty crazy that he has 45 packs and you 32, and both of your favorites out of all of them are dream beaver. Thats gotta say something about this strain, that doesn't get too much traction around here, at least for the last month or so Ive been following the thread.
Il def include that in my next order. Also what was it that you liked about it so much that stood out far above the rest?
Heres a smoke report, tested at 28% too.
EDIT*** realised since the appalachia dad is discontinued this one is not in stock anywhere. Did find one seed bank in canada where I live but don't want to shell out $180 CAD for 1 pack no freebies. I get why your upset you didn't make any F2s now!
We should all crowdsource on a pack together have someone grow them out and send out cuts to everyone that chipped in)

Schrews (ICMAG) turned me onto Dream Beaver a few years ago. It wasn't one of Bodhi's popular strains, SSDD completely took over- it was all anyone could talk about so I grew them both out. Two packs of each over a two year period. The Beaver smacked SSDD like a lil' bitch in everyway. Tropical fruit, garlic, hot garbage, motor oil- everything you'd expect a "dirty hippy" (was the mom) to smell like lol. It grew like NL5, made football sized brick-dense colas and tasted wonderfully floral and diesel and citrusy and..... you name it, it tasted and smelled like it =). It was the only strain I was able to hit 1gpw without co2 or AC. I don't often cry when I can't find a certain strain, but I do well up a bit when i think about the Beaver and how good she was to me and everyone else that smoked her. It was a truly special treat.
Now the BBHP, IMO, was B grade bud. Great smell and taste, strong smoke, but didn't get the high remarks like the Beaver did. I long for the Beaver...
Back when it was first released everyone reported getting a single female from a full pack of seeds. This was the only pheno that was going around, it seemed, at the time. It was a MONSTER in or outdoors, finished in about 8.5 weeks and wreacked heavily of burnt oil and santa cruz cut blue dream. I got 6 units from one plant in a 6x12 greenhouse. The plant took up the entire greenhouse. It was an amazing plant, but the quality just wasn't fully there for me.

A different breeder brothers grim has a strain Cinderella xx. Super potent and has zero smell. Even after harvest still no smell.

I have flowered one SSDD and it seemed very average which may well be an odd pheno. I have more seeds and will run it in the fall when I raise my males. With all the legendary SSDD love going around here and other sites I assume fire lives in that pack somewhere. It will be my Legend of the Fall.

I've grown out a couple of packs of SSDD and it is my experience that there are just as many unimpressive females as there were ones worth running again. I want to see more so that other Bodhi strains I have run. Goji OG on the other hand every single pheno I got was worth a second look.

No I have gone too far making my own mix from scratch. Not gonna give up that easy. I spent $800 CAD on bulk ammendments that will last me a lifetime. Il get it dialed in for sure. I hate paying for shipping so build a soil is out of the question for me, I tried to get everything locally i bulk from regular stores. Thanks tho compadre.

I cant comment specifically on your mix as theres many ways to skin the organic cat. I like to use balanced npk ammendments and shoot for diversity so I have a mix of release rates giving a steady rate of availability of nutrients. Also many ammendments have other benefits like insect frass, neem meal, alfalfa, kelp which are good to have. I think when you do a couple runs with reccycled soil it will get better and better. Ive noticed big improvements on my second run already.
For sharing and recording purposes I suggest keeping things on a per cubic foot basis. makes it easy to share and analyze for other people as well as making adjustments and comparing runs.
Here is my mix i made up today. I usually have 8 loose filled gallons make up a cubic foot, but added some perlite last minute making this mix 9 gallon as one cubic foot. I also make my own compost and ewc so that will play a big part in the performance, especially when you have enough of those to be able to make compost teas every week or as needed.
PER 1 CF = 9 LOOSE FILLED GALLON
NPK MACRO MEALS
[]1 Cup Kelp (1-0-2)
[]1/2 Cup Bone (4-10-0)
[]1/2 Cup Fishbone (4-18-0)
[]1/2 Cup Alfalfa (3-1-2)
[]1/2 Cup Neem (4-3-2)
[]1/2 Cup Insect Frass (3-1-3)

[]1/2 Cup Glacial Rock Dust (0-0-1)
[]1/4 Cup Basalt (0-0-1)
[]1/4 Cup Azomite
CALCIUM
[]1/3 Cup Gypsum
[]1/3 Cup Dolomite
OTHER
[]1/2 Cup Dehydrated Molasses
BASE
1 CF = 9 LOOSE FILLED GALLON
6 Gallon Recycled Soil Mix (33% Peat, 33% Organic/Humic Matter, 33% Perlite)
.5 Gallon EWC

.5 Gallon Vermiculite
.5 Gallon Expanded Clay

Hey super helpful informative caring organic hearted fantastic individuals of the Bodhi seeds thread, I decided to start documenting my current flower, and next run in my own thread: https://www.rollitup.org/t/holy-smokes-the-lords-got-a-head-stash.965235/
Im sure some of you are sick to death of seeing me mention ASS, Bingo Pajama, and Purple Wookie in flower, which you can see in there. I also have 2 week old Soar, J1HP, and Hells Angels OGx SSDD. If I get testers, I will be chronicling them in that thread as well. I'd love any advice and criticism and insight any of you may have to offer. Thanks! I know some people on here were interested in SOAR, which is really who I hope sees this, I'd like for yall to be able to see how it grows.

Debating between Space Cake, More Cowbell and SSDD. Seems like SSDD is the favorite on this thread but I've always wanted to run a GSC cross. Suggestions?
Btw I ran Sky Lotus v2 recently and I got 2 phenos. One sativa dom one indica dom. Best strain I've ever ran. Got a pack of Soul Food on deck.

The 88g13HP dad in the More Cowbell can tend to be somewhat dominant in his crosses, so if you were looking for something that would be alittle more gsc leaning you might go with the Space Cake.

This should be a lot of fun, I have a very TK dominant love triangle so will be fun to see what the orgasmatron adds to the mix.

Definitely something I want to toy around with as well ^^
I didn't get some freebies one time I wanted and instead got 6 packs of love triangles given to me. To be honest after watching things unfold with it...I am no longer disappointed lol.

Anybody ran any Pinesoul crosses? I dug around and found out that Pinesoul is Bodhi's select cut of Goji.

There are a few Bodhi selected cuts of Goji OG floating around, Pinesoul is a very lemony, pinesol F2 cut. There’s a Bodhi tester thread on here where people are raving about 1 or 2 of the Pinesoul crosses. Based on those initial impressions, I’m surprised I don’t see more grow reports of it.
This thread goes into some of the more well known Bodhi cuts if you scrolled down some.

Here’s the tester thread:
