Is the SSDD hype legit? It seems like many love this strain. I've had my eye on those beans since stumbling upon B, but I always put off getting them until it was too late. The description seems like something I'd like to have in my garden (structure/flavor/effect). Can anyone weigh in on how common the desired pheno is and its finish time? I recall reading about a late finishing pheno in the past, if that's the desirable pheno, I might have to pass it up.
The bean buying urge is getting to me again, I was considering seeds of compassion's gorilla biscuits, but I've found little info on that company, or some Hazeman strains, but there seems to be many mixed reviews despite the majority being positive. As always, I place my faith in the breeder that has thousands of posts out there praising his work. I personally don't like the recent trend of (female x bodhi male) x (alternate bodhi male), and feel I might kick myself in the future for not acquiring a more 'original' strain..
btw I know there's countless ssdd journals on BB, but its down and I want to place an order asap.
SSDD does not disappoint. I don't think.
I grew out a total of five SSDD females, got two definite green crack dominant phenos (smell of rotten buttery mangos) which are mostly noticeable by the very dense and hairy buds, one that was kind of the classic appalachia pheno with good yields of somewhat fruity but heavily chem influenced sativa buds, and two bubbashine phenos. The bubbashine phenos finish fastest, then the more green crack phenos, and then the more appalachia/tres dawg dominant phenos. I am not sure, but I think Bodhi lists his finishing times as the time in hydroponics, which is kind of an industry standard, or maybe every breeder just underestimates their finishing times and they happen to be how long it takes in my hydro system. Either way, I definitely never had one go longer than 10 weeks (in hydroponics) and some were definitely done by 9. My keeper is best at around late 8 early 9. The bubbashine phenos have the most powerful high, for me and my patients, and it can make it hard to be functional for even the most veteran smokers. My keeper is the bubbashine pheno with the least amount of stretch, the buds are insanely frosty, smells and tastes like a sour buttery bubba kush, and has an excessively potent dreamy high with excellent pain relief. Bodhi is definitely right about it growing like a big og, All phenos had great potency, but my experience is that the ones with the more indica look, but fuzzy chemdawg resin profile, have the best effect. I never observed any kind of intersex behavior on any of the phenos, and I've run my keeper 5-6 times.
not the best pic, but it looks like its the only one I have lying around: this is my keeper.
