Super Silver Haze XXX Ambrosia

background: I wanted a weed smoke that was potent and uplifting. I also wanted a strain that was not going to flower for 3 months. i choose SSH because i know that the original haze is one of the strongest and SSH is a nice plant with great characteristics. The flowering time of 12 weeks is too long. So i chose ambrosia for the shorter flowering time.

seeds are cooked, waiting for them to dry, SSH mother, Ambrosia father. What can i expect from the seeds? what can i expect from the genetics, stability, sativa/indica, hermies ect?

i still have the original mother and same seeds as the father, Any tips on backcrossing/ crash course in breeding if i see some traits that i like in my SSH x Ambrosia seeds?

thanks for any input.

If your input is particularly useful i will mail you some seeds as a thank you. I have about 40 drying right now and another 1000 or so in drying buds.

I haven't grown or smoked SSH at all, but I grew Ambrosia for a while. It was very strong and resinous, with a unique smell and taste, but I wouldn't describe it as soaring or uplifting...more numbing and heavy, but with a mood lift.

The flowering time for the Ambro was around 9 weeks, which should help with your goal of speeding up the SSH. I had no herm tendencies in either of the two phenotypes I kept. One pheno was solid green (dark), while the other was purple/red in the stems, with speckles of colour throughout the bud.

If you're looking for a flying sativa buzz, you'll be looking for phenotypes which didn't take on characteristics of God Bud (Ambrosia's "mother") It's a heavy, knockout type Indica. On the other hand, it's also the fastest flowering part of the equation.

I think you will probably have a lot of variety in your seed batch, but there should be quite a few keepers in there. You should grow out a few females from the Ambro seeds if you haven't yet. I kind of regret getting rid of it.

Thanks for the input Freddie,

With ambrosia, With an indica mom and a brumese father, could be considered 50% inidca 50% sativa. that is similar for super silver haze with a NL and Haze crossing. That all taken into consideration the particular parents i was working with was a tall male ambrosia, with slim spaced leaves. Node spacing a little more then i would have liked, but the plant was at the back of the room, so i can assume some of the extra stretch was for more light. The mother was a SSH that is still flowering as a write. It is a very head stone ( harvested a week ago so i guess its getting better) i would put the cross of the mother more sativa than indica. more haze then NL.

but for the seeds i can expect anything from all stativa to all indica?

From the seeds you'll get all hybrids which can lean towards either Sativa or Indica characteristics, with the majority taking on the traits of whichever features are most dominant in the cross.

You won't get anything which would be all Sativa unless both parents were pure Sativas, or vice versa.
