yeah i am going SOG again... next time around will have mr nice and the perps in my journal, also hassan. im not sure on the growing style of these plants so it will be somewhat of an expirement to see which two strains will best be grown together for a more uniform canopy.
I think SS is well suited to SOG, it grows quite a big main cola, doesn't get too tall and not too many side branches. I think I've got a great Satori Mother, ideally suited to SOG and I may well end up doing a SOG grow next time round.
Your experiences with the SS high are similar to my own. It is a very tasty weed, It's difficult to describe the taste of it but it's just kind of nice! The high is as you said. I think one of the problems with it (and typical of dominant Indicas) is that it has a ceiling on the high, which effectively means once you reach that ceiling you won't go any higher no matter how much more you smoke.
It was good to grow the Sensi Star and I learnt a lot from doing it but it's not a strain I'm in any hurry to grow out again. I will do though, because I think it takes several grows to really understand how a plant grows and what it's nutrient requirements are and I'm not sure you always do a new strain justice in only growing it once. I'm happy at the moment though to experiment a little with the Satori's and Kalichakras I'm currently growing particularly considering the nice variety of phenos I've got from them.
The Satori phenos are all quite different and vary considerably in height. The smallest (12-14 inches tall) clearly expresses the Indica squat bushy fat fingered leaf characteristics. The one in the middle (the potential mother plant and last Satori to pop) at about 16-18 inches tall sits between the smallest and tallest, and expresses a mixture of Indica and Sativa traits. The two biggest things going for this one is the sheer vigor and fast growth potential as well as it's very strong and quick growing side shoots for clones. The tallest is classical Sativa, tall slim and slender narrow fingered leaves, currently standing at about 2 feet tall.
I'll obviously smoke test the three of them, but fully expect the first to express the most Indica, the tallest the most Sativa and the one in the middle hopefully the best of both worlds.
Regarding the flowering times of my Sensi Stars, I can tell you exactly what day I chopped the seed plant and the two clones -
The recommended flowering time for SS is 56-63 days. I chopped the seed plant at day 62. The clones at day 59.
So I chopped the clones 3 days earlier than the seed plants and that was to try and get more of an 'up' high from it, I think I allowed too many cloudy trichs to turn amber on both of them.
