Bodhi x Cookies

Wanted to get everyone’s opinion on this since there are so many Bodhi fans here, including myself. I heard that he confirmed a sort of collaboration with them, but I have also heard that he has been hired under contract to be their head geneticist. Which makes sense since all of his gear is discounted and he is releasing a bunch of untested or NFT stuff to empty out his collection.

I have nothing but respect for him, and wish him the best in whatever he does. But be sure to grab all the Bodhi seeds you can before they are gone, because if he is under contract he will not be able to release any seeds under his own label for the duration of it.

If that's the direction he wants to go in , more power to him. I like cookies, I like bodhi. So let's see what he cooks up. I'll try the wares out at least a couple times.

I agree with you on the stock up on your bodhi or bodhi f2's. Because you're right he might not continue with his personal label if he's under contract with someone else.

Not a huge fan of cookies, but I think having Bodhi on board will at least boost their integrity a little bit. I don’t think I will be spending the dough on packs if they release seeds though. Their prices are pretty outrageous if you ask me.

It will certainly be interesting to see what comes out of it though. Hopefully they do good work together!

Well I've never bought a cookies pack of seeds but have ran crosses. But if they are not marked up astronomically then I'll try them out. Should be something interesting coming out of that collab.

I'm all for people selling out. I know that's not a popular opinion in the cannabis community with all these older breeders raging against corporate money, and I get that it sucks to see your life's work get buried by guys with Marlboro money, but if someone offered me a six digit salary with bennies to breed for them I couldn't say yes fast enough. If the rumors are true, kudos to Bohdi for finally getting paid.

That being said, his stuff goes on sale all the time so I think it's still a wait and see situation. Doesn't effect me much either way, me buying more seeds at this stage borders on insanity.

I completely agree with this. Rumor has it that he was unable to attain a license and wouldn’t have been able to continue his work. I am all for that man getting paid, and like I said maybe he will actually do some good for the company. Cookies seems more about the brand than the plant, and Bodhi is the complete opposite, so maybe he can help turn the focus back on to the plant that made the brand.

I get what you are saying there, but with this information coming out and the release of all the NFT stuff it seems like he probably has a grace period to offload some of his unfinished work and any other stock before going under contract. I grabbed a couple of the NFT packs, just in case. Got the Banana OG x 88G13HP and the Cherry AK x 88G13HP.

Bodhi will have my support no matter what he does, simply for his love of the plant.

Why are people surprised a privileged kid who was paying $20,000 for cuts years and years ago would take the money? It has always cracked me up how much people love Bodhi and buy into all of the white guy living in the suburbs in California spirituality stuff.

I think you are mistaken here. If what you are referring to is the Nepali OG cut I have heard him state that he never paid for that cut, but people were paying that amount for it.

I respect the work that he does and his philosophy behind the work. I could care less about his spiritual beliefs or any of that.
 
It certainly is an interesting development. The way Bodhi approaches the plant has earned him a great deal of favor in the community. Berner is certainly a different type of character and is pretty easy to make out to be a villain amongst those in the underground scene.

If Bodhi’s seed lines were to be discontinued F-gens of his lines would be preserved and people would continue using his gear in hybrids. It would be a bit of a bummer, but there are so many good people putting in effort to offer interesting work that we will all be fine no matter how it plays out.

I dont know that being privileged has anything to do with it. No one should be surprised if someone who grew up poor from the city or farm country cashes in either. Getting paid to follow your passion isn't the evil crime people often make it out to be. Personally, I know nothing about Bohdis personal life whatsoever. Didn't even know he was a white dude until you just said something. No idea what he looks like. Cause none of that ever mattered to me. I liked that he made interesting crosses that are fun to hunt through for very reasonable prices, and he kept his prices reasonable even when he rose to a level of prominence where he probably could've charged more. He's also responsible for my all time favorite cut in Hippy Slayer.

I disliked that he way over used that 88g13hp male though lol. It quickly got to the point where I only cared about his preservation work because so many of his "new" crosses seemed kind of redundant. Should've used the Snow Lotus/Dirty Hippy stuff more imo.

I haven't been on the gram much lately but I can imagine. Part of why I stopped bothering with it is how sanctimonious and emotional so many breeders are on there. Just constant beefs and petty grievances lol.
Sir, excuse me, sir, but due to your preferences of terpene profiles and components of the high differing slightly from mine, well sir I now must inform you of the many flaws your mother does possess, and let me assure those flaws are both full of substance and foulness.

I would bet that if he is under contract with cookies he will have pretty much unlimited resources and space to be able to do a hell of a lot more work than on his own. I wouldn’t be surprised for him to break out males that he has been wanting to work with more to make some unique stuff. I mean cookies is all about the exotics, and I can’t think of too many people that hold as much true exotic stuff than Bodhi.

Can someone fill me in what this Berner x Bohdi collaboration actually is? Now I'm seeing people get all bent out of shape about the genetics behind it but NO ONE IS SAYING WHAT THEY ARE.

Also, Bohdi publicly confirmed that he took a job at cookies as the director of genetics about an hour ago just FYI, so guess it's more than a rumor now
