To me (and I’m no SSDD expert by any means) the most appealing SSDD that I saw was not lanky. It was less attractive, smaller leafy buds with smaller slender calyxes. The smell was an incredible and unique rubbery smell that made me think of a shoe factory with a very powerful dark coffee-like notes in the background. I’ve smelled quite a few rubbery smells throughout the years and this one was very unique and the most appealing hands down. Hard to describe fully and I’m not sure which parents contributed to that smell. I assume the coffee notes came from Bubbashine based on Bodhi’s description but that’s just a guess. Thankfully there are a few F2s to explore…
very old low quality pictures of the rubber smelling pheno
There was a nice photogenic pheno that I remember had a more sour chemmy type of smell but didn’t stand out at the moment as anything that special when compared to a very uplifting Goji OG at the time. This was stretchier than the rubber smelling pheno, but not quite as lanky as the “bubbashine pheno”.
The Bubbashine pheno that I found has lanky branching yet the flowers have tighter internodal spacing. Stems , leaves and calyxes are completely covered in trichomes and smells strongly of “hashy”-kushy blueberry muffins. Buds are on the small side and very tight, with large calyxes. To me the smell is not as unique as the rubbery pheno. I’ve smelled very similar plants with that blueberry smell in DJ’s lines and other crosses. Great calming effects for sure, but in my opinion the rubbery pheno is more desirable.
I definitely suspect that the “magic” of SSDD is in the hybrid phenos where each parent is contributing something, otherwise why not just go with straight Bubbashine instead? I guess it all depends on preferences and what you’re seeking as well. Definitely excited to see what comes from all those BX tests!
She’s finicky but the smoke is interesting enough to see if she wants to stick around. This round she’s happier than in the past, but still not dialed in. Probably not worth the trouble…but she sure is pretty:
I have thought about a dehuey, but how would I dump it while we’re gone? It would be good for a single use and then do nothing the rest of the time, and since we rent I couldn’t rig a hose to drain anywhere. Also, our electrical is terrible and we pop breakers all the time from just running the vacuum or a blender, so I don’t think it would work since it’s basically an AC condenser. Good thought tho!
