IDK my hands are itching right now heh. They look like another week or two wouldn't hurt though I guess? The s1 has much longer to go but those two x's are getting close.
Mostly all milky trichs now couple clear yet. I think I will harvest the tops and let the bottoms go a bit more when I do. Seems like a good strain to stagger harvest.
Nice pictures Tony!!! If you could hold back and let them go a full 12 weeks - you will be very pleased. I noticed with the 1 plant I let run the full 12 weeks it had much much stronger terpenes than the 10/11 week plants AFTER the dry. Even with the cure its noticeable better.
Just my experience - I grew the Strawberry Cough x SSSDH.
Best of both worlds, the small one came down, call it 74 days, the big one will stay up a bit longer to finish out those massive colas and the s1 is doin its thing budding up denser than either of these crosses. Ill post a full plant pic in a minute.
Ojd, I would consider to self your sssdh cut down 2 more times from the s1 to s3, that will make her very close to homozygous.
It is a fine cut! I beleive it would also be superior to use in your crosses selfed down 2 more times. Your f1's are fine work selfing it down a few more times will make them better possibly! They are bad ass as they are!
It looks like I am looking at better than 3 zips from her coming out of a 2 gallon nursery pot! The upper and middle buds are dense as hell. The funk is unbelievable, dank as fuck slightly sweet grapefruit overpowered by thick smells of insense. These bitches yield massive colas of dank. The stems are thick as fuck but they still manage to flop. Ill post a full plant pic in a minute.
2.5 zips, smokes delicious with a thick unique taste and smell of sweet earthy incense undertoned by a slightly sour citrus taste that you get when the smoke rolls of your tongue and cheeks.
Its really frickin dry in my place especially in the winter, I think think radiator heat dont help. If I hang any longer they go bone dry. One day I will have a small climate controlled hanging room. I make sure I give a good watering the day before I harvest to help out, if I harvest when the soil is dry by day 3-4 they are bone dry.
Big girl is down, call it 84 days. This one leans much more haze, lots of myrcene scents, very strong earthy incense undercut by earthy sweet mango scents, here are a couple of shots for those still watching...
The frost is niiiice. A friend with bad judgement got suspended from work, he thought it was a good idea to have a chilm packed in his pocket at work.... LOL.
Looks like a solid 3 zips out of this one, same deal 2 gallon nursery pots grown KISS method with maxi bloom. Flushed 3 weeks, already burning a nice white ash (from the first plant).
Yield is greaaaaat! Early reports are telling me it is the best shit they have ever had even without a proper cure...
The s1 is doin her thing looks like she might yield even harder if you can beleive it, she is in a 2 gallon nursery pot but she was a little shorter than the other girls so I sat her on top of another 2 gallon pot to even up the canopy. (bog method you could call it)
Love the haze I gotta say though the s1 is the winner for me, she has much denser nugs, amazing smell and trich coverage and she looks to yield really well, took some clones off her here at the end. Wow. I would really really love to get a s3 or s4 of this cut.
With a little cure the sharp grapefuit citrus from early on has mellowed to an earthy mango taste that is not overpowering or especially sweet working side by side on equal ground with a semi thick incense taste and smell with more earthy and woodsy undertones. The smell of the bud before smoking remains of LOUD citrus/mango funk. You can not have this on you and go out in public people will be staring you down all day it is ridiculously LOUD and noticeable.
If you are looking for bag appeal the sshxsssdh is not really gonna look too great bagged up compared to other popular stuff. Both of my pehnos showed more haze type growth but in a FAT way if that makes sense, but if your people are used to tight indica golfballs this will look alot different. The funky haze leaner I had that was less sweet/sour was even more so leaning toward old school bud structure while the pheno that leaned more sour/sweet citrus was a little fatter. That being said they both yielded amazingly well both throwing a little over 2.5 zips each in 2 gallon nursery pots grown KISS, coming in anywhere around 12 weeks with the fatter ones finishing a bit faster and the funky haze leaner taking a bit longer to finish.
The smoke starts in your mind but not in a racy way, a smooth mellow attitude overcomes you in a motivating way but not pushing you to action, a nice contemplative undertone without a loss of motivation, it makes you smile when you taste the earthy funk as the thick smoke expands your lungs and fills the air, youwill leave a scent trail as you go even after smoking, heh so thick and nice. With a 3 week flush she burns pure white ash and her buds are covered in a frosting of jewels that melt to a light brown caramel drizzle covering the bud as it ignites and tokes smooth, dont overdue it or youll loose a lung as it expands your chest.
You'll chill awhile and probably be off to do something before you smoke again but if you continue to blaze there is no ceiling until you pass out. A great feeling smoke that makes you laugh and people talk and giggle and have a great time. I kept the earthy funky mom and will run her again for my own personal.
