Super Silver Haze F2, freebies from fritillary seed collective.

It tastes like sweet mango haze i reccon, not very citrusy. I havent smoked the original mango haze tho so I wouldnt really know. But sweet mango haze comes to mind when trying to describe it.

Look close and you can see some beans in the bud, the father is a pehkuruder male.

 

[nukkumatti]

Mmm sounds good with the mango Artctic. I'm still vegging mine.. How much strech did the ssh's get in flower? How's the high?

 

[nukkumatti]

SOrry man didn't read too well.. I'll find the another threads

 

[arcticsun]

oh sorry mate, ill gladly describe it for you. Ive not given much of a detailed description of it really.

I ran them in 5 liter pots, and they reached approx 1,50 in height. These F2's seem to me to have less of a stretch then the Mr.Nice SSH i have run before.

picture:

Nice and tight bud and internode structure. Dont go bigger then 10Liter pots, 5 liters is good, you will have to water often, but you will avoid major branching. Mine got approx 3 weeks in veg, but I kept them in small pots even then to limit the growth and stretch.

Growth is vigorous as with the original SSH. I found myself an indica pheno which hasnt been flowered yet. Ill bring updates when I start flowering it.

 

[nukkumatti]

Thanks for the info mate!

I'm having them in 7l and going to pot the up in 15l ..But it's vertical, coco and I'm gonna fix a modular scrog on all the individual pots.

Got some nice scents off when was trimming them a bit.. Strong smell on stems..But no mango yet.. Hope we get to that in flower
