Welcome to the Haze/Sativa family, you can't beat a good Haze/Sativa for exotic taste/Highs.Hi guys, long time lurker poking my head out my mole hole. Feel like I kinda know most of you already from the countless hours reading through various threads such as this. All I can say is much respect, you guys represent the real heart and soul of cannabis culture. The passion for the plant we share is plain to see.
Unlike 99% of my generation, I've realized there is more to cannabis than cookies, zkittles, runtz, and indica hybrids in general.
Many years ago on vacation in Vancouver, BC, by pure chance my naive young self decided I'd try some Super Silver Haze from one of the pot shops in the city. I barely knew what it was, maybe heard the name online one time and it was one of the few strains on their menu I slightly-recognized. The staff at the shop offered no insights and I didn't ask! The 'store-bought cannabis' experience didn't exist in my home country. I was just happy to be buying weed without legal worries, not much thought went into product selection.
Really had no idea what I was in for with the SSH, and lets just say it was a happy accident.
I had smoked a decent amount of cannabis up to this point, but I was not growing at this time, and the black market access I had would never yield anything remotely hazey or properly sativa.
The market was drowned in commercial 8-9 week indica dom big bud type strains that they would still pull early. Most of the market was outdoor crops and the climate is not very suited to sativas, so outside of home/personal growers, at least in my era and in my circles, a good sativa was practically unheard of.
I had a friend with me on the vacation who didn't smoke, so on our way back from dinner I lit up a joint of the SSH and enjoyed it all to myself. The smell and taste didn't leave an imprint in my memory, but I paid less attention to these things back then, only total standouts stuck with me. I was just trying to get high.
As I smoked the joint, it seemed like any other joint to begin with, but shortly after finishing it and walking back to our hotel it really hit me.
I was taken on a wonderful, euphoric, soaring ride, that totally caught me off guard, in a good way! It was potent! Almost was a bit psychedelic and also reminiscent of MDMA. Unlike my experience with your typical psychedelics like LSD and mushrooms, this was so warm, gentle, and positive, without a care in the world, and the 'body load' I always hated on typical psychs was replaced with pure euphoria and waves of electricity pulsing through my body. You couldn't wipe the big goofy grin off my face if you tried.
After getting back to our room, we decided to go swimming in the hotel pool, and I've never had such fun swimming in all my life! All I was doing was mucking about in a rather mediocre hotel pool, but the water felt amazing on my skin and it was a joyous experience. To me, it felt more 'genuine and real' than say MDMA induced happiness/euphoria, even though clearly drug induced. Sex was unbelievably good too.
To say the experience left a mark on me would be an understatement.
Many years later, some serious health issues led me first down the pharmaceutical route (no thanks), and now down the plant medicine route. I've been honing in my greenthumb, as I've realized a good chunk of therapeutic potential is in growing the damn plant! Not just consuming it.
Since the Vancouver SSH, nothing close came across my radar, but now I'm much more involved and passionate about cannabis than ever, I'm taking matters into my own hands!
Starting my hunt with; Dutch Dog from Connoisseur Genetics.
On the mother's side we have a 'wild' Nevil Haze x Mango Haze from old Mr Nice packs via @l33t, crossed with Soma's G13 Haze Male.
On the Father's side, we have a SSH x Chem D (SSCDH) from old Reservoir Seeds stock.
Have two girls here at day 46 of flower, grown in water only organic soil (30L pots) and a 480w LED.
#1 smells woody and beginning to get spicy. #2 is full on fruity, sweet green mango and papaya.

Please excuse the dirty little indica dom hybrid sneaking its way into the shot
Looking great
One correction is the Nevil Mango I used for this x was not the L33t version I'm running now , was a pheno I grew/selected from Mr nice seeds years back when making the Nevil The G strain ( Nevil Mango pheno, Mr nice seeds x Soma's G13 Haze male).
Then a pheno of the Nevil The G strain was hit with the Super Silver Chemdog Haze Male to make the Dutch dog.
