[Solved] EditTemplate Model Issue

[Chad]

hello, i am stuck as i have the following EditTemplate for  model caled MarijuanaMenuItem,  when i click the edit button on the grid it opens the MarijuanaMenuItem.cshtml template i created just fin and every field that  put with a @Html.TextBoxFor(s => s.<fieldName>) shows up fine .. the thing i have a couple dropdowns that i need to depend on data n one of the other fields, i have the @model at the top of the EditTemplate but when i inspect it the model s empty, so 2 questions 1) where is the data coming from if its not in my model? and 2) Can i access another fields data using whereever that is coming from ?

EditTemplate Code:

@model my.potlocator.com_mvc_.Classes.MarijuanaMenuItem
@using Telerik.Web.Mvc.UI

@Html.ValidationSummary()
<table>
<tr>
    <td>
        @Html.LabelFor(s => s.StrainType, "Strain Type")

        @(Html.Telerik().ComboBoxFor(s => s.StrainType)
            .Name("StrainType")

            .DataBinding(binding => binding.Ajax().Select("GetStrainTypes", "Menu"))
            .Filterable(filtering =>
