Week 2. Looking good, SSHx lighter green than the SSSDH s1.
SSHx all look same so far. 1 SSSDH s1 has OJD cut like leaves and leaf stems.
2 SSSDH s1s showing male preflowers but now showing female flowers on upper branches. SSHx showed only female preflowers.
I wonder if the male preflowers thing has to do with whether the seed was produced on the plant that was forced to make males flowers versus using fem pollen on a regular untreated female.
So far I am super excited, the smells and resin coming through are really old school haze, the one I love. The smell is pretty consistent with the SSH cross, comes on as early as week 3, now all have it. Strength correlates with resin production, 3 of the 6 are cranking, other three are starting to res up.
4 look more stretchy and hazey, so I'm expecting very hazey flowers. 2 of those are sticky already. I switched to HPS once these looked to slow down. The transition expended the cola sites a bit, so more space for flower. If I hadn't managed these on height, the would have been 2x tall. Topping, pinching, MH for 4 weeks, and nutrient trucks were required.
1 looks medium height, denser flowers, mild smell. Very NL like.
Then there is the special one, shorter and coated in resin at week 4. Smell is just bam!
Short spacing stacking early, did not stretch much. Flowers look somewhat hazey but it's stacked. Producer I reckon.
SSSDH S1 relatively uniform, some flowers stretchier thrown others. 2 have similar smell to SSHx and two are sweet lemon candy. Saw more male preflowers than SSHx.
A few of these variants will be become my all time favorite..... For sure.
Thanks OJD for letting me have a crack at these. I am honored by your comments above. Ill do your gene pool right!
So these are really starting to differentiate themselves. Of my 6 SSHx:
1 (#4)is very NL leaning in structure, shorter with really leafy indica colas and that sweet NL smell. Likely a 12 weeker, maybe 11.
1 (#5)looks like a Sour Diesel leaner, bubbly calyxes starting to tower up with less leaf on buds.. Some haze mango funk, but has a little sour overtones. Tall but looks to be a true 10 weeker.
2 are showing a skunk phenotype, large thick colas that have less leaf. Starting to really pack on the weight as the calyxes develop. Both very resinous and have a sweet hazey mango funk. These are my favs so far. 12 weekers. One is tall (#2)and one is shorter (#6).
2 have very hazy flowers, long and fluffy. Good resin, have more of a Limey mango smell. Not as funky as the skunk leaners. Def 12 weekers, one stretches (#1) more than the others. The taller one is a potential keeper (#3).
The 4 SSSDHs1 are showing as well. 3 of them have similar skunk/haze hybrid like colas, but 2 are a sweet lime smell and the other a more mango haze funk.
1 is much more NL bud structure, big thick leafy buds with that sweet Mango funk.
Def see a keeper in those as well. Decisions decisions.
Anyways, it's really cool to see all the phenotypes come out like this, I have a huge choice in keepers.
The SSHx is genius. These genetics are solid, and throwing the expected phenotypes.
Only issue is finding the sweet spot on feeding for these. Next round I'm running the 2 skunk SSHx leaners and the better haze. I got a new feed plan I will try.
FYI those pics are from lowers I snagged from #2 and #6 respectively, as described. Ain't touching the tops until 12w. Sampled one of haze Leaners, the fuller bud pheno #3 (other is super stretchy haze poddy flowers #1)with beautiful fluffy calyxes with that mango incense funk. I can just I am VERY pleased with the early smoke test. Not even cured, but it's heady stuff and the smell when it burns is awesome. Like 1976 you just walked in on your uncle and his pals burning some. And they are afficianados.....
Lookin good man had a couple haze leaners myself, smoking delicious with that sweet earthy incense hashy goodness with slight undertones and after taste of slight sweet citrus. Bangin.
Thanks bro. Seems like we are on the same gear, sweet. How did you SSSDHs1s go? I found a sweet citrus hazey skunk pheno (#5)that put me on my ass this weekend. Strongest smoke I have had in a awhile. Total racey high. Crazy. Winner. That was just the first of 4 I ran. More exciting smoke tests. This S1 throws some consistent traits, plus I have one with the mango incense funk like the SSHX. At least from a group of 4.
As for the SSHx , I think I'm going to rerun #2,3,and 6. 3 seems most potent haze with great resin, while 3,6 seem best producers with solid resin output with that incense mango(my best description) funk, each varying on the citrus.... And they have the fluffy calyx look to some degree, #3 being the most extreme.
Quick update! Initial smoke test is huge success.
SSHx #3 is it. Church incense funk, increfibly potent haze. Beautiful. Grows like a well behaved haze.
#2 and #6 will get another shot as they are solid too. Still need more testing.
Now, the SSSDHs1 batch has awarded me something special. #5 is a lemon candy resinous lady that has a potentcy I have not experienced. Ever. I am a heavy smoker and have toured the Dam many times. Never have I seen a haze this strong. Crazy. Cuts through any other high. Slams me to wall, yet is highly energetic. It's just I am so damned confused. It's hard to be productive. But fun.
I love this. Don't get me wrong SEHx #3 is a close second, but this SSSDH s1 #5 takes the potentcy cake. And it yields...
I'll add more info once I can get my head out if the fog.
