Take Jalalabad Star, an Afghan landrace out of the Jalalabad area, and put it over Wookie 15, Bodhi's Lavender and Appalachia male. That is Jhana (jalalabad star x wookie). The father here is not incidental. Bodhi select males for what they do to other plants, not for what they are on their own.

Order matters in a cross name. In Jhana (jalalabad star x wookie) the Jalalabad Star side supplied the seed and Wookie 15 the pollen, and the reciprocal - the same two plants the other way round - is a separate breeding decision with its own results.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: Jalalabad Star. An Afghan landrace out of the Jalalabad area. Afghan valleys and towns each developed their own reputed line and traded on the name - Mazar-i-Sharif for its sieved hash, Kandahar for its effect - so a landrace identified by town is a real distinction rather than a label. These are hashish plants first, selected over generations for resin rather than for flower.
• Father: Wookie 15. Bodhi's Lavender and Appalachia male. Built from Lavender crossed to Appalachia; Appalachia is Green Crack over Tres Dawg. It is the male behind Bodhi's more perfumed crosses.
• Why these two. They are not variations on the same idea. They pull in different directions, and that spread is what makes a pack worth hunting through rather than just growing.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Two distinct smells, and a pack will give you both plus everything between.

• The Aroma. Musky, earthy, woody and spiced rather than sweet or fruity from the Jalalabad Star side, against incense and lavender with grapefruit over it, and a bakery sweetness underneath from the Wookie 15 side.
• The Taste. Earth and spice with the hash character behind it up front, turning to floral and citrus over a fuel base through the exhale.

Where the parents disagree

• Where the nose comes from. One side gives musky, earthy, woody and spiced rather than sweet or fruity; the other gives lavender and incense with grapefruit, bakery sweetness and fuel behind it. Plants landing in the middle are the keepers.
• Build. On the Jalalabad Star side: the Afghan build - thick main stem, hardy, dense resinous flower, and seeds noticeably larger than tropical stock. On the Wookie 15 side: it hands down complexity rather than structure - the plants get more interesting rather than bigger. Select early rather than trying to train your way out of it.
• Opposite ends. Jalalabad Star is reported as sedative; myrcene leads, with caryophyllene and pinene behind it; Wookie 15 as the perfumed, floral end of Bodhi's catalogue. The cross sits somewhere between and moves plant to plant.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. The two parents disagree here, so plan for range. Jalalabad Star is the Afghan build - thick main stem, hardy, dense resinous flower, and seeds noticeably larger than tropical stock. Wookie 15 is it hands down complexity rather than structure - the plants get more interesting rather than bigger.
• Vegetative Phase. Top or train before you flip rather than chasing the canopy afterwards.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Jalalabad Star as sedative; myrcene leads, with caryophyllene and pinene behind it.
• The Body. Wookie 15 is reported as the perfumed, floral end of Bodhi's catalogue, and that is the side supplying the weight here.

In the pack

Regular seeds from Bodhi Seeds. Bodhi's catalogue is organised around a handful of selected males - Snow Lotus, Appalachia, Wookie 15, 88g13 Hash Plant - put over heirlooms, landraces and held clones. Reading a Bodhi pack means reading which father was chosen and why. Sold as authentic Bodhi Seeds.
