Well that sucks, sorry I didn't know those were out of stock. Email JBC and GLG and see if they don't have a pack stashed somewhere. It's worth an ask. If that doesn't work maybe try the Dread Bread (Mango Biche x Old Mother Ghana).
super interested in this one whats the smell like?
If im being honest I'd have to agree about mms, I have grown most on your list. Couple good cuts found from others as well. My bodhi or inkognyto keepers had much more vigorous growth as well. MMS has not YET given me that wow factor when harvesting. I am not talking down on them as I have had some subpar bodhi as well. Having said that the keepers I've found in bodhi bean will rival or beat out verified clone only I've held over the years. And I've had ALOT of them.
I sit on alot of beans from many breeders I respect. When looking for that random, exotic f1 cross that's different etc. Bodhi fits the bill perfectly. The money he asks is much more fair as well. Especially considering the freebies etc. That's a good dude not just in it for the money. Just spreading love of seed.
Happy growing!
I still have this stupid Purple Unicorn F5 around because of a cloning mix up while I was away on COVID quarantine and I. Fucking. Hate. This. Plant. Cant be too wet, cant be too dry. Loves high light during veg, hates it once you switch to flower. Terps are just basic purple grapey-blackberry terps, high is generic and super weak. It strikes me as a plant that just absolutely hates being alive and will do anything that it can do die. I swear I hear all 9 of them screaming "Kill me!" when I open the door to my main flower room. I have seen better results with this cut outside, but its still really bad compared to anything else I have run.
Good to hear your feelings and honesty about PU f5, but alarming as well. I'm hoping for better than you describe from my only Purple Unicorn cross. I picked up a couple packs of Purple Star (Jalalabad Star x PU). Purple is pretty, but I'm more into flavor and effect. Maybe the Jalalabad Star will improve those described weaknesses.Always be weary when every damn smoke report describes the purple dominant bud as "psychadelic, trippy, overwhelming, and life altering". Every single time I have grown a strain with purple influence, the LEAST purple phenos were always the best. For that reason I completely avoid purple coloration when hunting. Anthocyanin, the pigment responsible for purple coloration, is a general response to oxidative stress. I view purple plants as analogs to humans who cant go outside because they are allergic to air and sun.

I see purple coloration as a "run the other way" characteristic. Weak, generic, generally very sensitive, and objectively worse than any comparable green bud. The MMS Star Pupil has always been fun to follow. The few who I know who ran MMS gear have always told stories about high cull rates and weak bud. Id never take a chance with a breeder who seems to label everything as euphoric.
I guess I'll put my pack at the back of the queue... glad I decided to run Garfunkle instead. Thanks for the info.

Any thoughts?

Hmmm... PSS is purple and euphoric, takes a beating too. Super stable. Guessing it’s the lush since the Laos is purple. Can’t wait to hear what you’ll think of those Passionfruit Hashplant. My pack has been sitting on the top shelf of my fridge staring me down.

His Phone Home is gorgeous!I've always felt this way as well except rather than focusing on the presence of anthocyanins I've always attributed it more to the lines being selected for the novelty of being purple over all other traits. Often times with anthocyanin rich purple vegetables they taste very bland (newer varieties are always coming out with improvements though) and pale in comparison to "regular" high quality varieties. The novelty of being purple is usually their main marketing strength and when the novelty factor drops off interest in the variety usually goes with it. In a practical sense I completely agree that purple flowers are almost always inferior to the less purple flowers in a line when judged by effect and potency (opinion). Great reviews by the way, moved Phone Home up in priority for next round..

Most of the people I give bud to really liked the PU for exactly the same reasons you hate it. Nice mild buzz, tasted good and was pretty. One guy said it was his favourite. I got really nice yields and monster buds off it. Not my favorite but hey, different strokes and allView attachment 4907066

His Phone Home is gorgeous!
Very curious, did it you get any good Pain Relief effects from GG4 x SSDD?GG4 x SSDD (Freebie) ~approx 65day
I'm excited to see what the effects are like and compare it to Space Monkey, GG4 RIL and SSDD. It looks like she became a little deficient before starting senescence so maybe it would perform better with more food and larger pot. High odor levels but not as intense or as much trichome coverage as the Space Monkey (GG4 x Wookie 15). Leans more towards GG4 odor in my opinion than SSDD. Space Monkey pine smell is still my favorite aroma of the GG4 crosses to date but this smells nice too. Wont have a solid opinion on it until testing the medicinal value but so far I'm impressed for it being a freebie.
