SSH vs. Satori

[sbd420]

I am looking for a plant that is highly cerebral, anti-anxiety and anti-depressant which i've found is relieved with a good sativa hybrid without the racy/paranoia type effect...which strain has more of a body stone to it? I like a plant with the heady sativa qualities that still retains a good body stone? Both plants are hailed superb by many sativa connoisseurs but which fits my needs best? As a medical user i need a solid strain and both apear phenomenal it all comes down to which has more body?

This is a no contest, IMO.
SSH gets my vote, under any circumstance.

 

[Iron_Lion]

i've grown both, this is like comparing a fine french pastry to little debbie.

SSH all day long, every day no contest.


with that said, satori is good but its not ssh.
SSH is the gold standard in cannabis.

the only down fall with ssh is its variation, its 10 week pheno is my number one, right now i have a like 100 day pheno that is just starting to form buds at day 50 12/12. its a pain in the ass running super sativa phenos but i dont worry that it will be out of this wrold.

Bro I can tell you from experience and dont get me wrong Satori is good but it doesnt have much of a body buzz and the body buz that I did get went away pretty fast, I grew Satori out for over a year with many different phenos and none gave me the body I was seeking. I have a feeling you are looking for something much stronger than Satori, like I said I love the Satori as it serves many good purposes but you will want something stronger for the body.

i've heard very good things in terms of Satori's med properties for anxiety/depession but have also heard its not very strong...thanks all but i'm really leaning now towards the SSH...Iron i've read there is quite a bit of diversity (8-14+wk pheno's) but it could be a positive as i will have a wider spectrum to choose from...keep the thoughts coming

you will get alot of variation in SSH since its a (haze x northern light) x (skunk#1 x haze) hybrid, so basicly a polyhybrid, so you will see phenos ranging from what i would call ballanced indica/saiva to extreme sativa, some of the extreme ones can be quite paranoia inducing while the more indica ones are a bit more friendly on the mind.

i would also suggest getting it from Mr Nice seeds since its the only original, greenhouse only have a femmed version now so it cant be the original parents anymore, but i did hear that their version was more indica so actualy it might be better suited for you, i just know i would want the cup winner and not a remade version of it, but thats just personal opinion and not based on any experience with greenhouse SSH

should mention i have grown 10 different females from Mr Nice SSH and they where all ranging from good to extremely good, but some of them didnt taste that well, but im just spoiled

Satori i have never grown or smoked so cant comment on that

 

[Zoolander]

No contest

 

[vancerz]

Iv grown satori and just got some SSH from a club to be honest the SSH had more of what you are looking for as far as anxiety. anti-depressant qualities go.

 

[love?]

I'm going to have to agree with BrainSellz; if a body stone is important/wanted SSH is definitely the one out of these two you should choose.

Though if you had just asked for an anti-anxiety anti-depressant without paranoia I may have recommended Satori out of the two instead. At least I didn't find it to have that "lazy" quality in the high which is the case sometimes with haze hybrids. People suffering from depression may well be very passive as it is... But depression is a complicated thing and strains affect people differently. I have not grown SSH yet only other Haze hybrids but I'm willing to bet some SSH phenos can be quite paranoia inducing too. Could someone with lotsa SSH experience maybe comment on these things a bit please, thanks.

Btw what do you mean by Satori not being strong? Sure you may not experience something extreme after smoking it like with a very potent haze or whatever, which is what some people may have expected from "a sativa" and then been disappointed, but I think it has been tested at quite high THC content values and also never felt that I needed to consume unusually large doses or anything like that...

One more thing; whatever you choose you'll end up wanting the other. Like now I have a couple of jars of Haze/Skunk but I'm eagerly awaiting for the Satoris I'm growing to finish. So get both.

I've never tried SSH, but I know that Satori has been good for my depression, particularly in terms of getting simple but painful stuff done like housework: one hit, put the music on* and work away!

As for strength, it has subtleties: you might not feel "stoned" but after a spliff and a couple of beers with a mate, it's suddenly moved on from 9 in the evening to 3 in the morning! Definitely a time machine!
And as for doing anything important, I just don't bother. I've fucked up plenty of stuff while high on that shit! hehe.

*Here in Blighty we've got Radio 6 - it's so god that I can go for days without accessing my own music collection!

Like everyone else is saying, satori is good weed, but it lacks something in the high. I've never had SSH (that I've known was SSH) but if you are looking for a hard hitter I would say go with that one. Satori definitely gets you high but you have to take notice of it, if you smoke that and two other strains you won't be able to tell where the Satori ends and the other strains begin.

Have you thought about running your lights at 11.5/12.5 or 11/13? I've read about people doing this to get their sativas to go into flower when they have issues with them doing so.

Yeah i've read about that before but I have many other strains in the room so its not really an option

 

[Noobian]

Yeah don't go 11/13 if you have other strains in the cab at the same time, the change in light schedule might make the others freakout and go hermie. Ask me how I know this :/


The last two weeks it will help speed things up though

 

[ibjamming]

Get 'em both! Satori is only another $30 right?

 

[DRorganic]

go with ssh or try kalimist as kali is in the same league as ssh with a little more calming body.

 

[Lazyman]

SSH is probably my favorite weed ever, I finally got my own cut of it a couple weeks ago, and have two SSH crosses in veg. Dongle69 got 14# out of her aircooled 6 light grow with it too. Is there ANYTHING SSH can't do?

I've grown Satori and wasn't terribly impressed, but i was doing a SOG at the time so it's hard to judge tiny plants.

 

[igrowone]

well, if the strain that exists that matches the OP description, i'm down for it
can't add any useful info on either ssh/satori, haven't grown them
but like OP, i'm looking for medicine, not necessarily the strongest effect
i get the impression that ssh may be a better recreational strain, satori may be a better medical strain

 

[DRorganic]

Plus you can find different phenoms in any pack of supersilverhaze that lean more indaca to more haze. if i was you i would grow both.

 

[daddy fingaz]

SSH is a great all round herb, a nice high for night and day!
