Ojd's cut of SSSDH so far is very impressing - huge flowers, high flower/leaf ratio, early big trichomes covering stems and everything around the flowers.
Thank you, Jamie! I'm also very pleased with the progress so far, and now that all (but the Thai) plants are fully flowering, it is amazing to sniff all these different buds and smells! I just can't help but lose an hour every time in sniffing one plant, then go to another, then after smelling all the plants get back to the first one and sniff it again with a nose covered in resin by then
Here's a fresh portion of photos.
The Nepal Jam and Stardawg seem to have stopped putting out new flowers after having their main stems broken. So we'll not see the full yield potential of these plants, but they are healthy and maturing finely.
Sweet Tooth #3, which has a surprisingly piney smell. I have ready that ST is supposed to smell/taste sweet, but my plant has the most pine smell of any plants that I've grown, with dank indica "evil but sweet" notes in the background. I asked my friend who gave me the cut if his ST smells piney and he didn't think so, so it must be something in the conditions that made this cut bring out the pine smell. None of the other plants have such smell regardless of being in the same conditions.
Stardawg
I consider soon harvesting one of the branches - it is broken and is connected to the plant by only a string of fibers, and having little juices makes it mature faster than the rest of the plant. The main stem being broken, most of the plant will soon follow the branch - the plant as a whole is producing few new flowers.
Panama #5
I expected to harvest only a single cola when planting this clone in the bushes, but it outgrew my expectations many times and is now a beautiful Christmas tree with many small buds. It looks like a proper Colombian/Haze with just slightly fatter leaves.
And a couple of photos of the SSSDH's . Curious about the effects at this early stage of flowering, I removed a few lower pop-corn buds and have them drying.
I tried both ojd's cut and the Sweet Tooth, small buds dried for 3 days.
The Sweet Tooth is very warm, comfortable, semi-couchlock, semi-mental, nice potent all-around weed. Smoke is smooth, chopped bud smells pine and somewhat rotten/skunky, the taste left in the mouth is very sweet.
The SSSDH is superb. I hope its effect doesn't get heavier with maturation, right now it's a very focused motivating uplifting experience, which is not as clean and "spiritual" as pure Haze, slightly edgy and anxious (like a typical Haze hybrid) but is very functional. Tastes very hazy and has a rich fruity+fuel+incense flavor without any cure. I smoked a whole day from it, right from the morning, about 5 times, this is how I judge weed because a single session can be misleading, heh, and it got me as high the last 6th time as the first toke, if not higher. I was left very stimulated in the evening after a whole day of smoking. Felt pure like rocket fuel! And while not as clear as a pure sativa, this is perhaps the best Haze hybrid I've tried (and I've tried a few). I'm eager to see how the effect develops with maturation.
We had some bad weather a few days ago and on my visit 2 days ago I found the Zamaldelica and Sweet Tooth with 2 big branches broken-but-alive on each of them. This is the first time I see a Zamaldelica branch break, but the whole plant is quite bent and this, coupled with the dense heavy structure, is a lot of stress on some branches' fixture to the main stem. The broken branches now have support and look happy.
How I found Zamaldelica...
... and Sweet Tooth:
The Thai is finally flowering and I'm happy that its wonderful stem smell is even stronger in the resin on the few seeded flowers that I found.
Another year, another great yoss33 grow. I really look forward to your weekly updates.
I opened the last page to see this weeks pictures, and I noticed that it was dated with today's date, so I went back one page to make sure I didn't miss anything. While doing so, I noticed the picture posted and thought it was your Thai Plant because of the leaf shape:
I know there is Meao Thai in the Zamaldelica genetics, but from the pictures I've seen of Meao Thai in pure form, I don't think it looks especially like the Thai that I grew up with. Whenever I found seeds in Thai Sticks, I tried to grow them.
I think there is Thai genetics in Zamal, and the combination of Zamal and Meao Thai, does sometimes produce leaf shapes that I associate with the Thai I remember. This is all just the ramblings of a Thai lover.
Loved your smoke report of SSSDH. I'm not sure what this is. The only thing I can think of is Super Siliver Sour Diesel Haze. I guess it would be a cross between Sour Diesel and Super Silver Haze. If you can clarify, then thanks. It sounds good though.
Yes, SSSDH stands for Super Silver Sour Diesel Haze and I was lucky to receive the famous Ojd's cut from a fellow member here - Everlast. This cut won 2 times the prize for best sativa on the IC 420 cup - in 2010 and 2011. This is the first time a famous cut comes to my part of the woods and while I've tried Haze hybrids brought from Amsterdam you never know what they sell, so I'm curious to try a known cut which is considered among the best.
Today I harvested the Nepal Jam and Stardawg for several reasons: 1)They stopped putting out new flowers after their main stems crushed, 2) It's been a bad season - lots of rains the last 2 weeks, so their resin isn't maturing, and 3) I have security concerns because I know someone has seen the patch with the 3 plants - they were next to a ruining house in a deserted neighbor property and I saw that someone has been in the house and taken some of its roof tiles, perhaps some of the poor villagers needed several tiles to repair his own roof. It's impossible to enter the house without seeing the plants and the white strings supporting them, 5 meters away from the house entrance. I left the Sweet Tooth because it's still very fresh and gaining weight. I'll take the risk to have it stolen, I just don't want police to get involved.
Hi Yoss,
..
I think there is Thai genetics in Zamal, and the combination of Zamal and Meao Thai, does sometimes produce leaf shapes that I associate with the Thai I remember. This is all just the ramblings of a Thai lover.

Hi man Indeed, I too find a lot of Thaish presence in Zamaldelica, at least in some phenotypes. Here's a zoomed-up part of a photo I posted before, where a small but mature leaf (on a branch of a branch of a branch...) can be seen with that typical SE Asian shape and serration. The big fan leaves have a more fat hybrid look though.
