Deep Line Alchemy 15 by Bodhi Seeds
Unknown
Deep Line Alchemy 15 (DLA 15) is a hybrid strain developed by Bodhi Seeds as part of their Deep Line Alchemy project, which focuses on preserving heirloom genetics. This cultivar is recognized for its resin production, sturdy structure, and balanced effects, suitable for day-to-dusk use.
Appearance
DLA 15 typically presents a medium-tall growth habit with moderate internodal spacing. Its buds are often ovoid to conical, featuring a high calyx-to-leaf ratio and significant swelling late in bloom. The flowers can display a slight genetic fox-tailing and are noted for dense trichome coverage, giving them a frosted appearance.
Coloration ranges from green to deep green, with some phenotypes showing purple hues under cooler temperatures. Pistils mature from cream to copper or rust. The overall bag appeal is enhanced by visible resin 'glare' even in neutral lighting.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of DLA 15 is often described as a blend of classic hash and incense, complemented by notes of pine needles and subtle citrus peel. Upon grinding, a pine-resin scent may emerge, layered over an earthy, spicy base with hints of cocoa. During curing, the aroma can deepen into incense and sandalwood tones.
Flavors on the palate include pine sap, black pepper, and incense, supported by an earthy, slightly nutty foundation. The inhale is described as clean and resinous with a faint citrus brightness, while the exhale can carry a gentle peppery sensation.
Effects
DLA 15 is generally characterized by hybridized effects that offer both body relief and a clear, steady mental tone. It is often considered a versatile cultivar suitable for daytime and evening use, providing a sense of relaxation without excessive sedation.
Users report a balanced experience that can facilitate afternoon wind-down and evening unwinding. The effects are typically not overwhelmingly strong, allowing for a functional yet relaxed state.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific lab data for DLA 15 is limited, its aromatic profile suggests the presence of terpenes such as beta-caryophyllene, alpha- and beta-pinene, myrcene, and humulene. Limonene may contribute a citrus lift, and linalool could be present in more floral phenotypes.
THC levels are reported to range between 17-24%, with CBD content below 1%. The strain is noted for high trichome density, making it suitable for concentrate extraction.
Growing
DLA 15 is described as having a sturdy, resin-forward structure, often displaying indica-leaning architecture. It typically grows to a medium-tall height with moderate internodal spacing, building a strong main cola and multiple side branches when trained. The plant is noted for good calyx expansion and high trichome density, especially late in the flowering stage.
The flowering time is not explicitly stated, but the strain is known for dense resin heads suitable for hashmaking. It is considered to have a high keeper rate in phenotype selections, indicating consistent production traits.
Origins & Lineage
Deep Line Alchemy 15 is a specific selection from Bodhi Seeds' Deep Line Alchemy project. This project aims to explore and preserve heirloom and landrace genetics while enhancing resin production, plant vigor, and balanced effects. The project often incorporates classic indica hashplants and allied landraces.
The exact parentage of DLA 15 has not been widely published by the breeder. However, the strain's characteristics suggest a foundation influenced by Afghan-type hashplants crossed with a partner that imparts brighter aromatics and a more complex psychoactivity.
