These strains are moving quick not only because of buyers, but also Bodhi is to blame. Surely if it wasn't such a tiny release theey'd last a bit longer.

Maybe we should all blow up avenues of communication with Bodhi for proper sized releases of these works.

these are probably the worst posts ive read in this thread.
stop with the sympathy comments and look in the mirror to being part of the problem of them selling out to mostly resellers.
resellers absolutely read these threads. Don’t think you posting 10 times in multiple threads acting like you’d give a limb for them go unnoticed.

I cheer for more with brotherly warmth from my heart, and I'm the problem eh? Your opinion of me has been noted. More than once. Now, I wont even notice it anymore.

I'm not entirely sure I catch your drift here... are you suggesting that because @mawasmada posted that Bohdi should increase his runs on limited releases resellers are going to buy more? Cause... that doesn't make much sense. That's like suggesting not telling anyone you like the Rolling Stones so the scalpers will drop their prices. It would have no effect... theyre popular either way. The only way to reduce the resellers impact on these drops is to not buy from resellers. Or have the vendors have a limit on the number of packs sold per order, but I don't love that idea for a variety of reasons

thats not what I suggested.
guys like him hype everything limited up. Then crying about production numbers even though he got his because he cares so much about others. Lol
idk Bodhi but the guy seems like he got lots of life issues and this clown @mawasmada talking about it’s his fault and harassing the guy.

Word. I personally didn't see it as a suggestion to harass the guy. Letting a business know it's customers would like to see more of something is what I consider feedback (as a small business owner myself).

I do feel bad for the people who can't be online right at a drop and don't get a chance as well. It would be nice to see bigger production runs on some of these things. Personally, I'd rather see him make releases like this more broadly available than see 15 more g13hp crosses I don't care about. And from what the vendors I know tell me, they'd like the same. It's genuinely hard for them to move some of this stuff he makes in volume while these limited releases are so popular they create a rush on their resources and bandwidth.

And in the long run, the lack of availability is on Bohdi. It's not always by choice of course. Like with the Metal Haze he was only working with 5 females and 5 males total, which obviously will limit the amount of seeds produced. But if he announced an F4 was in the pipeline it would reduce the pressure on people to get in on this drop. But it may be intentional, hype is good for business. People often buy things they don't even want out of FOMO. I almost ordered the Zap from JBC today because it sold out so fast at GLG, not even because I wanted to grow it. Fortunately for my wallet I caught myself and was like, when the hell do you have time or space for a 14+ week sativa? You already have a bunch you'll never grow idiot lol.

And also, singling @mawasmada out for hyping these limited releases up seems oddly targeted. It's not like he's the only dude on the internet that loves Bohdi. These limited releases get hyped on every forum and Instagram relentlessly.

Anyways, that's my 2 cents, brought to you in overly verbose fashion by this Hippy Slayer I've been toking on. So it's also Bohdi's fault lol.

I get excited for the sativa stuff. I get excited about Bodhi's stuff. Sharing my excitement in a community of fellow Bodhi fans is causing friction, and that sucks!
It was a call out to a business owner, that he has a market seeking more. My intent wasn't to bash the Wookie and HP dominated menu, only to balance it out more.
We all grow for our own reasons.
If only we could all enjoy a dinner, drinks, smoke together...and hear and see each other.

As a pig tail, the intention i get from Bodhi is he wants the community to release the next lineage of these works. He is able to start his next project.
Lets see some open pollinations and work of the lines. That way everyone who missed out will be able to share.

Yeah, that does seem to be the gist. Unfortunately, a lot of these packs just end up in people's fridges. I just wound up with a pack of the Yunan Chinese Highland Sativa from the Nierika drop and I can barely find any documentation of it being grown out online, nevermind preserved. Too many seed collectors these days (which I'm 100% guilty of myself, so no one take that comment personally please lol)

Amen. Don't just grow a pack. Put energy back into the cycle. Turn the wheels. Make some seeds and give them away. It won't hurt you to dig a couple out of a bud before you smoke. Everyone is taking away. Who is putting it back for someone who comes next in line?
My 2 cents.

I hear ya, but let's be honest, most seed buyers are small home growers. Preservation runs require a lot of space and resources that not everyone has. It's rarely a few seeds in a bud lol. It's usually hundreds of seeds. Then you actually have to have the time and money to send them to people. There are communities actively doing this, it's just not really encouraged in RIU. I'm doing a Bahlki preservation right now for a group actually. Doing a Kunduz landrace next. I may take the Metal Haze to F4 but I'll have to do a trial run first and see how they grow. Sativa are tough for me because of the space requirements.

The jokes on the guys hoarding seeds. Bodhi is selling some seeds that’s been in his fridge for years as stated in a podcast.
Ive bought bodhi seeds from multiple bodhi seed banks that had problems germing as soon as they arrived.
Funny reading people knock 2 of his biggest males 88g13hp and wookie.
The guy has made a living off those 2 males.
@Gentlemencorpse what vendors are sayin they don’t want 88g13hp?
same ones who sold out all his new releases and restocks like Black triangle, red eye jedi, mothers hp remix, and golden hashplant.

The "problem" I see with Bodhi is that his seeds are severely underpriced compared to other top breeders. Would anyone be surprised if these sold out at $150/pack? It's crazy how cheap you can get packs when you figure in sales and free packs. Hard to get mad a resellers for passing on such easy money.

I'm not saying anyone said they don't want g13hp at all. In fact, I regret saying anything about vendors. I shouldn't put words in people's mouths or take private conversations online. That was my bad. I'll stick to my own opinion, which is that especially when your mostly releasing F1s, cranking out tons of crosses using the same males gets old. Even if they are all great, they don't excite me as much as they used too. Im sure many people disagree. But I get excited when I see Bohdi do something completely new these days.

And I agree on the age of the seeds comment. And that kind of goes back to what I'm getting at. From where I sit, Bohdi seems to over produce some crosses, and under produce others. I feel like striving for better balance would be appreciated by many. But since I obviously have no idea what it's like to run his operation, I could very well be overlooking a very valid reason why it is this way, you know?
