No offense taken, I am always learning and enjoy when others have differing observations/data than I do; it keeps the mystery and fun of growing alive for me. I wonder if it has to do with the original plant and the "strength" of its genetics? An example of such would be the chemdog cut; it's been around for a few decades and I assume everyone holding onto a cut at this point has a clone of the original seed mother. The oldest mom I had, before the CA fires took her, was about 10 years old. I can't remember any issues with her, but the exception I made with her versus my other plants was every May/June I would take her out into the sun and let her veg out there for a good month or two. My buddy who I got the cutting from told me this was a necessity as "she was originally grown outdoors so she has to be outdoors for a little bit". Unfortionetly, he passed away a couple of years after giving me the cutting. He was a wealth of knowledge and out of respect, as well as his memory, I kept the tradition alive of taking her out to see the real sun. I wonder if vegging her in the sun is what kept her around and so vigorous for so long?
Think it was a podcast with karma I believe who said the old cuts are put outside every year to kind of reboot.

I think this has merit. But it should be clear that I put these plants through a high EC crop steer with significant drybacks in order to drive tight node spacing and better bud set. It worked well for 3 weeks but they couldn’t take the heat on week 4.

I like the cut but the smoke/terpenes just aren’t good enough to warrant treating it like the diva it is. My dad hand waters in sunshine mix so he will run this one.

Sunshine Daydream on the other hand.. Once I got the PM taken care of she is happy happy! This is definitely the best cut to come out of the hunt. It’s basically just a pure butter muffin SSDD pheno.

I notice that she is much more susceptible to PM when she is growing/stretching. Once she stops and her leaves darken/build up a waxy layer, she gets much more resistant. The super yellow new growth trait seems to be very common with SSDD.

I hope to pass a SSDD steering wheel cover around to those who haven’t been able to find a good one. It’s a genuinely special plant and I can see why it was hyped up. My favorite indica and I can’t wait to have a gallon jar full in the personal stash.
I'm just about to flower 2 SS DD out of a pack that copa gifted me. I have a squat bubba pheno and a taller pheno with great open structure and has that nice deep green fans with that nice shine. Shorter one has the better stem run of the two.
You got me excited with your comments

Man I have a sealed room and can perfectly control every environmental parameter that I choose. But when I throw a plant outside in the summer and properly water it, it looks AMAZING no matter what the temp/RH/whatever. Like it makes my indoor plants look like deformed runt mutant things. The leaves on the outdoor plants just look.. Correct, healthy, and perfect.

I 100% agree with this practice. I will veg all moms outdoors once a year to rejuvenate cuttings. Plants that live inside for too long start to get a little weird.

Lot more than lumens in that light from the sun. They hold cuts of hazes over 30 years doing this.
Just make sure you don't drag shit back from the outdoors. Keep on top of your ipm or you'll get bit in the arse

I really gotta pop that SSDD pack I have and just F2 it then spread it amongst the forum peeps... Too many beans, not enough time; what a problem to have
I planned on doing the same with mine but I had some viability problems. I'm going to attempt making some fems if either is decent. I told copa I'd pay it forward, so my friends and those in need will get to try them

I gave away over a hundred f2 ssdd recently. Lots of variety in the strain. But well worth growing.

Talking about sunshine daydream! Those hybrid of ssdd as the male with gorilla glue and blue dream are insane!! Out of all my Bodhi Gear(Soul mate, time bandit, clusterfunk, guava Wookie, temple of the apollo). The SSDD came out stellar!! The Gg4 x SSDD came out with a banana sweet smell and the bluedream is straight gas terps! Lower on the yields but worth if. Can’t wait to cure to give a more in detail terpene profile. The Guava Wookie came out terpy but after a rough trim the ssdd surely has greater appeal.. may possibly be the different indoor environment, great also slightly heavier yield the the ssdd.. With Soul Mate coming in 4th in my book! But still fantastic, I got a heavy piney body odour type smell from it. Grows vigorously! Had a soul mate pheno still show white pistils after everything in the room was basically done.

That Guava Wookie outdoor when left to cure goes from a sweet floral smell to that STANK like that appalling stank face type of smell lol! The SSDD x Gg4 smells like bananas muffins to me.. Clusterfunk came in with the bag appeal but didn’t stand out as compared to the Guava or ssdd hybrids. I ran temple of the Apollo but the potency wasn’t high with more fluffy buds, the smell was amazing tho! Turned a whole plant into some delicious full melt!

I’ve only grown out one SSDD female as I had a lot of males when I planted the first half pack. But the one I had was killer. Pics are in this thread but I had the same issue advanced had regarding the light yellow new growth , drove me nuts , plant was seemingly happy but I couldn’t get it to darken up until it was done stretching. I fed it a steady diet of fish emulsion and compost top dressing and once the plant was done with vegetative growth it darkened up a bit. What a great plant, super bud rot resistant and the effects are awesome, total stress reliever. The bag appeal isn’t great after the cure. The buds turned a darker green but my full sun stuff always seems to do that. Doesn’t matter to me as I could care less what it looks like.

Guava Wookie is extremely loud curing with stinging terps of Pine and Lavender with strong fuel tones. Sticky, so much that clipper started sticking in fan leaves, strong fast hitting high with no couchlock. No ceiling so far! Leaves a very heavy sour presence in a room when vaped, and the sour citrus comes through on taste. Wife loves it!
