Some scatterbrained thoughts that I wanted to post as a re-cap and thoughts about future possibilities.
After sampling for a while now I am gravitating to the SSDD or wookie15 crosses over the 88g13hp for what I’m currently seeking. Nothing at all against the 88g13hp male but I want to take a break from it for future tests I think. Currently have a few more going (Redeye Jedi, BB HP) and I already feel my interest fading a bit before flowering has begun. Sort of like if you’re looking for a specific song in a playlist just because you skipped over a song doesn’t mean it isn’t good or worthy, something else is just the focus at the moment. I have more 88g13hp crosses hoarded than any other bodhi male and want to keep exploring them in the distant future for sure.
In my mind I’m interested in either going in the direction of more SunRA + a F2 effort or K4xSSDD + an F2 effort, in addition to dusting the SSDD F1. Not a “breeding” or goal oriented project like some of the other very impressive SSDD efforts around here, I just like to have F2s of strains I like on hand. The only pollen I’ve chucked on that SSDD “Bubbashine pheno” has been Goji and I feel like that is a mistake.
With the recent Bodhi news my thoughts about the unlikelihood of him reproducing SunRa are reinforced. I love the clear and upbeat effects, vigor and ridiculously high odor of the SunRa in addition to wanting to find my lost “keeper” pheno again. This is in the back of my mind always as something I want to F2 but there is comfort in knowing @Greasy is starting his own SunRa project right now, which I’m really interested to see which phenos he finds. I’m looking for anything to give one strain the advantage over another and that to me pushes me towards the K4xSSDD.
I like everything that I have sampled from last round but for me the K4xSSDD is the clear favorite. Really love the comfortable and very long lasting effects. Also it tastes great with a good enough calyx to leaf ratio in order to make trimming tolerable. It has the wonderful dark “rubbery” SSDD smell that I miss and is very strong in aroma. The pack was a freebie and the dad is discontinued, which makes it an appealing choice for F2s and in-crossing(?) to the SSDD. It would be really cool to find a pheno as frosty as the Bubbashine pheno with the smell of the K4xSSDD rather than the blueberry muffin type terps.
