Triple Sunshine C



Medium High to High potency - not as strong as the first time I grew it but still strong.

Smells - Sour , Metallic , Fuel in order of intensity.

Medium strength generic cannabis taste that lingers for quite a while post vaporization.

Trichome type is sticky, but the flowers are only mildly sticky.

Mostly head high. Starts with a rush that gradually creeps up in intensity for the first 30 minutes or so. Long lasting. I like it but it doesn’t stand out as something I need to keep.

Don’t want to keep spamming this thread but figured I should still follow up with thoughts about the cured buds since I posted flower pictures in here earlier. Think this is the last or 2nd last one anyways.

Chem 91 x SSDD


Creeper effects. Initially felt it was pretty weak until about 30-45 minutes in. Not sure what to make of that.

Would say it’s a Medium-High potency sample with a duration of 2.5-3 hours. Smell intensity is moderate and consists of sour, metallic and fuel notes. Effects are mostly in the head, with a slight couch-lock component. Seems good for stimulating appetite as well. One of the stronger SSDD crosses I’ve tried (like Triple Sunshine) but Trip Sun resonates with me a bit more.

Not bad but doesn’t come across as special enough to run again. Would sort through the seeds again though to see what else is in there. Will probably use the remaining flower to make edibles or something as I don’t see myself reaching for this bag much.

As far as herming,
I had the best success growing pure-ish tropicals when keeping the lighting closer to nature and closer to their native schedule.

Ive learned how important the schedule is at germination and the begining of life.
That made a big difference from germing at 24/0 or 18hrs.
Germinate at a schedule close to what harvest time would be, then increase light hours as needed until Veg in maintained. Sometimes thats merely 14hrs, sometimes 16-18.
Its an experiment i started in 2014 once I started popping a lot of seeds…and started doing mushrooms while chilling in the garden. In Nature, plants usually begin to germinate in “Spring” which will have similar environmental conditions as “Autumn” and then the light hours slowly increase til “Summer” then waning hours initiate flowering.
Some of the best results in those experiments were from germing at 10.5 hrs, increasing to 13-14hrs for Veg, then work back down to 10.5. Some lines are more particular, some lines want different schedules.
Most lighting schedules are made out of compromise and laziness, and they become canon in the industry

TLDR,
Try a more Tropic oriented lighting schedule that mimics Thai/Viet and/or Oaxaca

What a lovely experiment and well typed response. Love the thought, man. And that you’re actually doing it. Super interesting.

Sidenote to all: 2 eternal sunshine bebes up. With any luck the other 4 will be there this afternoon or tomorrow and you’ll be seeing my log.

I’ve always kinda felt like 16/8 was a sorta “happy medium,” although I have (unintentionally) vegged on 14/10 for a month before and some of those plants straight-up started flowering after a couple weeks on that schedule. None of those plants were any kind of “equatorial Sativa” or anything, though. If I remember correctly, they were two different Diesel crosses and a Blueberry/Silver Lotus hybrid.

I know what you’re saying and it does make sense, but because I’m always growing a few different cultivars, some with more “tropical” origins and some without, it’s kind of like,”Alright, well, everything’s gonna get what they get,” whether it’s the same light cycle or any sort of “feed” or whatever. I do have two tents, though, so I could probably separate stuff and veg the ones that would respond positively to a more “normal” or “natural” lighting schedule apart from the ones that don’t care haha.

Anyway, yeah, I get what you’re saying. Makes sense!

Smells : peppery rubber leather minty cocoa/coffee notes

Trichomes : A bit powdery. Definitely not sticky at all.

Smell intensity : Medium

Potency : Medium

Effects : initially high alert - feel good energy boost that mellows out quickly (10-15min later). After that it’s all calm, mellow and mildly spacey.

Duration 1-1.5 hours

I like the effects. I think most people would find the bud kind of weak and short lived though. Don’t know that I’d run it again because it doesn’t come across as that special to me in any area.
