I'm the same way. I love variety. I run perpetually, flowering 9 girls in a 4x4 with a quick 2 week veg. This means I am basically going through 1-2 packs of reg seeds each cycle to hopefully get the 9 girls I'm looking for. I have no time or space to slow down for clones. I certainly have found "keeper" plants but I have no regrets leaving them as a memory. Instead, I'm more concerned about burning through my seed hoard before they all go bunk! Now I'm at the point where I'll trash sprouts if they don't grow quick enough, or even look at me the wrong way. I've got to say, I am blessed to have tried so many great strains in my life, especially living in an area with very few options.

Funny how different we all are, I take clones of every female before I put her into flower. And even after flowering once I still can't decide which ones to kill off, because they are all different but I wouldn't know if one is simply superior to all. Ive been doing this for almost 2 years now and have over 50 phenos in my veg room backed up. Ive had a couple die and it made me cry, especially when it was the best pheno out of that pack, I look at it like that whole pack was a waste of money, I try to preserve things, Im not a temporary in the moment man, at least with growing Im not, because Im not that good yet where I feel I gave it the full potential expression possible. So I like to know Ive got more chances to improve and perfect. But now Im at a difficult turning point where I want to take a break for a few years and I hate to loose everything.
So what did I do? Take all 20 males from my last seed run, flowered them out and collected pollen this week mixed it all up into one pollen blend, and as I do my final bloom run, I will impregnate and seed the lower branches of every pheno. So now I can revisit every gene pool and combination in every possible direction for the next 10 years at least! With 1000's of seeds Im ok with my germination rate going bellow 100% LOL
Rant Over !

I would probably order SSDD but JB is out of it. Everyone on here seems to talk about how they order from GLG but I feel safer ordering from JB since they are more reputable and well known.

I personally just refuse to send cash in the mail or to have to go the post office to pay for a money order in 2018. I was really tempted by the GLG freebies but immediately turned off when I saw no CC option. No likey.

Yeah JB sends you a discrete link to pay by card. I plan on getting one of those prepaid cards that you put money on. I really trust any of these seed banks.

GLG is solid no reason not to order from them. I’d argue they are more reputable for bodhi gear now. The bodhi freebie list is long compared to jb.

I tested the Herer Hashplant (vintage Jack Herer x 88g13hp) for bodhi last year. You can search this thread for my posts about Herer and probably find it. I know @Rosinallday already gave a little input about the strain (looks really nice - you got an extra frosty one right there!
) but, if you don't want to search, here's a summary of my very positive tester experience with the strain. I'd say phenos range from mostly sativa to good hybrids to mostly indica. Good variety!Again, I just want to reiterate how much I wish BreedBay was back because I'd like to at least archive my tester growlogs from there in PDF files. If it ever comes back, here's the link to this tester growlog: https://www.breedbay.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?201365597-Testers-Jack-Herer-x-88g13hp . I've done strain-specific growlogs for everything I've grown (mostly testers, but not all) in the last 3 years @Baja.Beaches but none on this site. It sucks to lose all that work. They were all at Breedbay and a couple other places. @GreenNucleus I honestly dunno when or if BreedBay's coming back. Things aren't looking good, but perhaps @IggyP can give us a status update on it. He still visits here after building a new LED strip growlight. How's that thing performing Iggy?
So, enough with the chitchat. They were pretty easy to grow. Reasonably vigorous, and great side branching for the most part.
I ended up with 5 females out of the 8 that made it to flower. #1, 4, 6, 7 and 8 from the above pic were female. Due to plant counts, I couldn't run them all at once, so I ran 1, 4 and 6 first, then the last two later. They all went 9 weeks, but a couple prolly could have been taken down at 8.
I let the first 3 go untopped to see how much the JH influenced them. I had one strong Jack Herer leaner, several awesome but unique hybrids, and one HP leaner that still showed a little JH influence. Here's some flower shots. All three from the first run. Left to right - 1, 4, 6 - with #1 being the JH leaner, 4's a great hybrid, and 6 is the HP leaner.
#4 is one of the frostiest plants I've ever seen. The pure champagne mango smell off this was special.
#6 had that beautiful black HP fade and smelled ultra earthy.
#8 was quite the hybrid, golden and purple and frosty frosty frosty.
Here are the dry nug shots and a few smoke report notes, again no filters or editing, taken with LG G3 camera phone under natural skylight.
#1 spice and sandalwood flavor and aroma, heady, not especially strong. Gave away most of this one before getting a good feel for it. Big fluffy nugs that looked frostier in the pic than they were in person.
#4 was some of the most potent weed I've ever smoked, mind warping & super motivating sativa, amazing mango flavor and STRONG smell (people liken it to the Golden Goat smell). I called it the housewife pheno, not from a sexist perspective, but because smoking this immediately made me HAVE to do housework or start cleaning something. Really amazing effects, but don't smoke after dark or you'll be up all night chewing your tongue, polishing kitchen cabinet hardware like a methhead. While they look fluffy, these are actually extremely dense nugs, and just absolutely coated with resin - it looks like velcro. Literally trichs on top of trichs.
#6 was pretty medicinal for pain, caused extreme Extreme EXTREME!!! munchies, and had a minty marshmallow flavor. Was good, but not great. I didn't do her justice with the shit trim job. Smaller, shorter trichs than the others. I thought the nugs would be denser than they turned out.
#7 had a mild mango flavor, and had upbeat yet short effects, but was not standout in any particular way. Least productive of the 5 females. Loose, smaller nugs.
#8 smelled and tasted of blueberry & mint, with great hybrid effects. She was potent and productive enough to be a keeper. These were ultra frosty and sticky, solid and weighty nugs - she's a real crowd pleaser.
I reran #4 a couple of times, was gonna keep it and #8, but then life got in the way and I lost them. But I should note that they all cloned well and performed the same during subsequent runs in and outdoors, even with different soil mixes. I never heard back about my test report after submitting it, but the cross was released so I'll hang my hat on that.
Herer HP was 100% completely rock solid, hardy, and sexually stable, like most of bodhi's 88g13hp crosses. That male is a true keeper!Also, I made F2 from the first run of 3 to revisit if it didn't get released. I saved some of that pollen and called it the Jumping Jack Hashplant (jjhp) in homage to its upbeat effects. When the cross was released as Herer HP, I gave away all the F2 to friends from this thread and elsewhere. @torontoke ran a few of them, noted in his journal here at RIU, and found some heady JH leaners I think. Sad to say, I tried to make more F2 on subsequent clone runs, but my pollen was no longer viable, so the second F2 run didn't pan out. I plan to buy another pack in the future to revisit. Herer HP was that good.
Unfortunately, I don't have the full smoke report anymore. It's lost on BreedBay, but this is a decent summary. Hope that helps @disco pilgrim
Let me know if you have any questions tho.@Schwaggy P - Amazing pics and grow with that chem kesey! That's one I've had my eye on for awhile, and she sure looks great. Please don't be stingy with the updates, harvest day pics, or the dried & trimmed pics, if you have time.

That truly does suck to lose valuable work like that. not just for you but for all of us. I agree with Reallybigjesusfreak, I get a lot out of your posts. I hope you are able to get them back! I operated in a stealthy vacuum for many years, this exchange of info with other interested parties is a game changer.

I debated if this pic was appropriate for the Bodhi forum, but since it is his genetics & in the spirit of open info exchange I thought I would share it.
Like many of us I grow way more than I need. It is not for sale, it is a fun labor of love that I try to be generous with. Flowers don’t keep well, but hash does & it is also my favorite smoke. It is seldom that I smoke flowers alone, a tasty bowl with a little hash on top is my go to.
This pic is my Blueberry Hashplant reincarnated. As I have said in the past that BBHP was gorgeous but not dank enough to make my daily rotation, BUT as hash it is amazing. Super resiny, not crumbly. Full melt with the consistency of play dough. Hash aroma with a slight berry smell. A crowd favorite. I had some f2 seeds that I was not going to run but after smoking the hash I changed my mind & have a few going now.
I did the same thing with the Prayer Tower Indica that I have mentioned I managed to nute burn, ugly but it made good hash.
So when it comes to trimming I cherry pick only the prettiest flowers off each plant, all the rest goes straight to hash. Sure has made the trimming easier & cured in glass the hash just keeps getting better.
Another quest now is finding the best strains for my hash, hoping to add more CBD to it, next up will be the Healing Hashplant.
Fun stuff.

perfectI tested bodhi's kush 4 x old mother ghani (omg) cross that remains unreleased. Instead of hunting for all the posts I made about it here, I'll just summarize my experience with it.
Kush 4 was given to Nevil Schoenmaker by Jim Ortega, and became Nevil's matriarch to his later kush lines. It wasn't used very extensively by itself; it was just a step along the way to Kush's future fame. Here's the whole quote from 2010 Nevil on the Mr Nice forums:
No idea how bodhi got a hold of Jim Ortega's / Nevil's Kush 4 cut, but like everything he procures, it's been extensively vetted before he uses it. Nevil in the 1980s and 90s was the owner of The Seedbank, head breeder for a short time with Sensi Seeds, and the co-founder of Greenhouse Seeds before Arjan turned it into a cash grab scam and Nevil divested his part of the business and cut ties.
Anyway, that's the same Kush 4 used in bodhi's DLA9. I really wish BreedBay was still around, because all of my other notes on the Kush 4 lineage are there. Here are some pics of the two Kush 4 leaners out of my 4 female testers from K4 x OMG:
They were twins. The Kush 4 imparts that very blue, steely look, and thick coating of trichs.

Here's some of the dried & trimmed shots, taken with my LG G3 phone's camera under natural skylight, 100% unedited, no filters, not nothing. The point I'm making is these were pretty photogenic nugs.
View attachment 4197764
View attachment 4197765
I saw a few nanners on both of the Kush 4 leaners during the first run, and they resulted in a few selfed seeds. Many of the unreleased OMG crosses suffered from nanners or herms, so what happened is genetic, I'm assuming. I was able to reveg the selected pheno #5, which I called the K9 Kush (4+5=9) cuz it made me feel happy like a golden retriever. Really awesome party effects, like a throwback to when you first started smoking kind bud with your friends and it made everything great, fun, exciting, and silly.
Unfortunately, the selected cut hermed again when run a second time, so she was not kept. I attached my whole smoke & test report as a PDF to this, so if you want the details, they're in there.

definitely cant lose with jb, but dbj & glg has no reason to screw you over, the bad rep & word would travel like the speed of light. i really cant see burning someone for gear over a couple bucks, theyll lose more from people no longer heading there due to the bad rep.

no doubt! i have placed a couple of orders thru GLG and have not had any problems what so ever. if you are ordering Bodhi, i think GLG has the best prices, selection and freebies. and i actually prefer to pay cash for seeds, it cuts down on the paper trail. also, some places like the Attitude offer a 15% discount for paying with cash.

does anyone have any pics or a smoke/grow report for clusterfunk? i have grown a few Bodhi strains that were very good, but i have this pack of clusterfunk that i have not tried yet. it is going to make it in the grow room in the near future.

I love using James Bean cause he's just such a friendly dude, and has always given me advice what I"m looking for. I'd also order from glg in a heartbeat if I felt they had something I needed. So many people vouch for them. Seedsherenow was also good to me, quick too.

GLG is as legit as they come. I just send cash in a plain envelope and they get it every time.
