Your plants are looking great.

Back from a much needed beach break and the ladies were fine without me. A mix of Goji f2 and ssdd x goji pics about to hit week 8. Thanks for the op @syzygy!

I like the look of the bud structure on that first picture, is that SSDD x Goji? Thanks for posting as usual!
–
Popped a few of each : K4xSSDD, Beautiful Day, GoldenHP and Sunshine Queen but they don’t look very good. They were planted in really low quality soil with the hopes they could go longer without water. Took a gamble on a high percentage of a new humus source because I’m too busy right now to water daily and they definitely aren’t happy. 100% fault here and not the seeds though. If they don’t make it I’ll figure out a different project where losses won’t matter as much.
I’ve been thinking about doing an SSDD F1 BubbaShine pheno x SSDD F2 (different parents) project for the early fall if they don’t make it. Or S1s… Or maybe SunRa F2s since I have extra SunRa sitting around. I know there are a ton of ongoing SSDD projects taking place here at the moment so probably not the most exciting news, but it’s the way I’m currently leaning haha. May have just hyped myself on ssdd reading through @HolyAngel and @HorseBadorites threads lately.
Definitely intend to still do more K4xSSDD and Dragon’s Milk in the late fall when I should have more free time.

Nice! Interested to see how the K4 x SSDD does! I have a pack of that to run at some point if they turn out how I’m thinking and not how I’m fearing.
I just went through a pack and a half of SSDD F1’s and… I didn’t find anything I wanted to use to make F2’s or IX’s with, none were as good or better than my F2… I still have @HorseBadorites F1 cut too, along with my own F2. I still one F1 pack left but I think I’m going to look through some of @Sebring’s SSDD F2’s to find a male in before I bother looking at the F1’s again. Make SSDD F3’s and hopefully an IX with horsebadorites F1 cut. Hoping to have something from these by christmas

Photos of a few of the F2s that I went through a few years ago :
And here’s some of what I’m calling the bubbashine pheno, used in the SSDDxGoji OG as well :

that’s what i have too, pretty old and very beat up, i put white stickers on the flash to soften it, manual mode, custom white balance, standard picture style, iso 100, shutter speed around 200 and what i do to adjust the “brightness” is thing with the -/+ right under the iso settings
and goji og is cool

How are you fearing? Nube’s description of K4xOMG sounded incredible! Feels like you can’t miss whichever way it leans.
Ya your F2 does look quite special. So many cool options available as well!
Was going to ask in your thread earlier what you’re using for pictures but decided against it because typing on a phone sucks haha. Your pictures look really nice lately as well, love those SourD shots!

Is that bottom one smell like chocolate or cocoa? That one 100% looks like bubba 
I found something kinda similar in the F1’s, more purple and calyx’s not as fat but overall structure is there, and she smells like straight up chocolate. I kept a cut of her but she throws late nanners and still not what I was after so I’m likely gonna toss her.
I’ve heard some rumors that the “Kush4” cut bodhi and a bunch of others have, is actually a Suge Pure Kush cut and has nothing to do with the real-deal Kush4 cut from Jim Ortega. My goal in acquiring that was the real-deal Kush4 to find a pheno of to use with some NL stuff. If it’s not really Kush4 than there’s no point in that side project. But I’ve barely seen any of it to come to any sort of conclusion.

The bottom one smells like blueberry muffuins - kushy / rubbery. It’s extremely frosty too, all branches and stems get covered in trichomes as well after flip. No intersex issues and incredibly sedative / relaxing / mellow but grain of salt on that because I’ve always taken it day 70-75 harvest.
Ahh, feels like everything is wrapped up in that authenticity game always. Pure Kush x SSDD sounds good to me at least so worth trying for me!

mmm that sounds like the back half of my f2 girl. I usually take mine down at 57-60 for anytime use, 70+ definitely gets more lazy 
Sounds and definitely looks like you found some great ones to use regardless. With the Goji added in there too, that’s gotta be some dank stuff. Think we should work out a trade sometime lol
Yeah no argument there, should still be some great stuff! I’m interested to see how bodhi’s SSDD male comes out in these crosses, I have quite a few of them to run out once I can get these F3/IX’s done… and a bx2 at some point

Yea thanks man, that first one is ssdd x goji #9 and she stacked nicely. Smells like good weed, no berries just some sticky good weed. The next to last pic is ssdd x goji #4, she has lots of medium sized buds on flimsy stems and reeks of sour butter goodness.
I’m glad your tackling the kush4/ ssdd, should be some good phenos and breeding material to be found. Good luck on the seeds and projects, i started a bunch of seeds in jiffy seed starter mix with my veggies this year and it took them a good month to get use to it for some reason.

Ya the SSDD BubbasSine pheno mom used has very flimsy stems that shoot up if you don’t lollipop. When lolipopped she looks quite similar to your first picture though. Interested to hear how effects are!
My biggest issue with the “BubbaShine pheno” aside from being ultra narcotic (will probably revise my opinion in that department when I try it earlier) is that the smell seems to disappear into the cure. Could and probably is my fault but that would indicate that it’s still more finicky than others when it comes to retaining odor. The smell in the pheno that I used to make the SSDD F2s is a very unique rubbery, ultra appealing and a bit stickier. That one is my personal favorite out of 1 pack of SSDD.

@syzygy, @HolyAngel, and @bytheKasiz im fresh outta likes, but I’ll be back to like the shit out of all of this above.

That’s actually a really good idea, I may try that out for the next log. All that other shit you mentioned, though, I have no clue how to do. I have neither the patience nor the smarts to fuck around like that haha. I’d probably smash the camera before I figured all that stuff out.

i read the manual, did you not do that? lol, its pretty simple but fully auto totally works there’s just some picture dont come out 100% how i like, too bright or too yellow, then i go fuck with manual mode, dont do it tho your pictures are more than perfect

Manual? Are you serious? You think I bought that camera? It’s my girl’s, she got it probably like fifteen years ago. Or whenever it first came out. And yeah yeah yeah, I know I could go online and look at the manual, but I can’t be bothered with all that. I kinda like my Terry Richardson-style/late 90’s Vice magazine-type full plant shots… All horrible and shit, with the white walls in the background and shadows everywhere haha. I’m not trying to impress anybody and y’all still get the idea, so…
Honestly, if I had the manual in my hands, physically, I’d read it. But scrolling through manuals on my iPad or whatever really irritates me, I dunno why. It just does.

Goji’s are coming along. Pictured here in the front row. They were transplanted into their respective 5/7 gallon pots a week ago, and are starting to really pick up growth. They’ve gotten a little bit of thrip damage, but they’ve gotten some strong IPM treatment this week, and their newer growth looks unaffected for the most part. First two pictured seem to have longer node spacing, whereas the third seems to be a much squatter structure with denser stems.

That last picture looks like it has the same type of compact growth / internodal spacing as all the 2021 F2s that I tested. Haven’t seen the purple stems other than in ByTheKasiz’s pictures so interested to see what you find with those. Plants are looking very happy even with the minor thrip damage! The first individual picture looks like the phenos that were clawing for me (very “hot” compost was used), so I’m interested in those as well!

My best crosses have been an F2 crossed to a Goji or Goji IX
F2’s breed so much better than F1’s. I see F1’s as a final product as their vigor and resistance make for a great sensi plant. Whereas an F2 or F3 has more of a narrow genetic spectrum so there’s less conflict and more recombining grace in the genetics.
