Here are the photos of the girls from a few days ago.
SSH#5. She'll give good trim for bubble hash.
SSH#7 This photo doesn't do her justice. She looks even frostier in person.
SSH#8 First a photo of her top nug, then her nugs mid canopy.
Enjoy!

I know, right? Thank you so much! I made almost all the beginner mistakes possible, and they are still coming out amazing.
The dry phase has been my lowest and slowest so far. The average temps been 66.2 with an average humidity of 60.6%. SSH#7 will easily dry first with her sparser bud development and foxtails. She's smelling stronger than she ever did pre-chop.

I just trimmed up the first girl. Surprisingly, SSH#8 dried before #5. The stems weren't snapping yet, but the buds felt dry.
I must say. The frost is impressive. Even the trim is caked. Even before curing, it has a wonderful aroma.
I sampled the two smallest popcorn nugs. The smoke was smooth, surprisingly so. Not much flavor immediately upon inhale/exhale. Instead, the flavor slowly settled onto my pallet. It was accompanied by a pleasant, mentholated type sensation.
Just a few hits, but I'm in a content dreamy state. A smile comfortably sits on my face as I relax and watch a new sitcom. The show is ok... but I find myself laughing effortlessly anyway. The couple puffs have me chasing random trains of thought.
Needless to say, I'm happy so far.

I trimmed up the SSH#7 last night then started on #5 when I decided to try a sample of #7. Wow! I'd had a few Paulaner pilsners prior, barely buzzed. Well, at least I was before my two puffs of #7. I spent the next 3-4 hours praying to the heavens to sober up! The larfe I tried had me reeling. It amped my buzz from a 2 to a 20. Even pre-cure and straight out of the drying tent, it is powerful. Thank goodness it didn't hit me all at once like a freight train. Instead, it crept in like good Sativa's should, slowly settling in over the next 20-30 minutes. I couldn't even finish trimming #5, I had to take care of her this morning.
Speaking of #5, she smells divine! She smells like bergamot and fresh grated lime zest. It's very similar to some outdoor sativa I got in California years ago, which I loved. She is a keeper for sure! I'm going to have to keep an eye out for some spring-cleaning packs. I want to find the loudest version of this gal that I can.
Hopefully everyone is having a wonderful day. Stay high as a kite my friends.

Sounds like a proper SSH to me!
It should become even more stronger and complex with a cure.
Thanks for sharing Diesel.

Lord help me
. I'll have to get handle with care or use with caution stickers for the jars.I'm more than happy with the few early samples I've had. They can only get better with a short cure.

Been puffing on #13 a little the last two days, she got overdried. She is sitting at 44% RH so I figure it isn't worth waiting since she's too dry to cure. Smooth so far. She has a hint of flavor reminiscent to her bergamot scent while growing but it is very faint. She is frosted and one of my best yielders this round. Bit of a buzz in the body with a happy, in the moment feeling.

Hi all, I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. I burned through most of SSH#13 last night while consoling a friend. I'm down to the top nug, so I'm posting a short smoke report.
SSH#13- She was easy to grow, rooting quickly and not showing much reaction to stress during her flowering period. Her flower clusters were small, elongated spearhead shaped nugs. They aren't compact but have nice denseness. She flowered for about 9 weeks and was one of my best yielders. Selective pruning and a better light would have likely made better quality flowers lower down in the canopy, bumping up her yields even more.
She got overdried, but her flowers still continued to improve scent wise over time. She has a slight bergamot scent with a hint of skunkiness. Broken up, her scent becomes a bit more complex, perhaps the dryer softener aspect from flowering? I have had people visiting comment how the smell in my home is "softer" when they visit. Fingers are very sticky after handling and scissor hash accumulated quickly while pruning. Volume wise she is only a 1/10, but overdying may have been why. She is very frosted! I'm more than happy with her bag appeal, any sativa heads would approve. Taste is... minimal, perhaps a bit of church incense? I can't tell honestly. It isn't loud enough to comment on but is smooth even though overdried.
Effect wise, she initiates a tingling in my body with just the slightest hint of fidgetiness. If I sit and relax for a few minutes the body buzz disappears and I become relaxed and often find myself contemplating a nap. She eases stress, and makes it easier to enjoy simple tasks, though a bit of befuddlement accompanies said tasks. She doesn't cause me any anxiety while smoking. I've found though, that she isn't the best to partake if I'm already stressed about something major. Anxiety can spike up a bit until the high mellows. She is best smoked, when elevating an already pleasant mindset and moment.
Enjoy. Diesel840
Edit: the added unknown complexity after breaking up and the smoke, both flavor and smell after combusting, is the fabric softner smell she had during flower. The smell is very pleasant. So far this one has frost, yield, and a pleasantly unique aroma. She is well worth another run.

Here is SSH#7. She had short fox tailed flowers. Even in flower she had basically no aroma. Frost isn't anywhere near as good as #13. Her high is a bit more potent than #13 but is very bland in comparison, may have needed a cure to improve effect. She seemed to develop at the same rate the entire grow, regardless of how stressed her sisters were by my inadequate care. I'm glad I grew her. She was fun to watch.

Nice recovery Diesel 
Also it's nice to see some 'red beard'. Hahaha I haven't heard that name for 30 years......kinda makes me think that the 'red beard bush' that we acquired at the time was actually Super Silver Haze.
It's funny how things take you back in time with a memory
Did you find this strain to help with pain relief?

@Jammy Git Thank the kind words. I'm sure there were alot of bud going around 30 years ago that was likely SSH renamed, or related to it.
I hope this helps.
Diesel840
I did find that most of my SSH plants did help a bit with pain. Keep in mind, some of the relief was becuase the herb would make me so happy and content that I wouldn't neccessarily notice as much of the pain.
I hope this helps.

Hello, all. I hope everyone finds themselves, well. After months without smoking any haze, I decided yesterday that it had become time to dip into my stash. I chose SSH#8 because I've only three phenos left, and this particular jar was already down to three nugs. Time to finish her off!
Firstly, this was the only girl out the entire straw I popped, who had more of an indica nug style. Instead of the long running flowers on the other girls, #8's flowers grew like little triangles. All of the other girls began to foxtail when the temps and humidity became extreme. Not SSH#8, she retained the same flower structure throughout her entire growth. Unfortunately, I placed far too much stress upon my gals. Ok, I fucked up every rule of growing in the book! This caused most of the girls to show at least a few nanners. Again, SSH#8 took the abuse in strides and refused to herm, no matter the stress I threw at her.
After harvest I was a bit less impressed by SSH#8. Though her density and nug structure gave her an edge, appeal wise, over her sisters. I found post-harvest that the lower half hadn't performed like I'd hoped. Don't blame the poor girl, almost every plant in that tent underperformed yield and density wise. But I hadn't pruned the plants like they needed, and the growing environment had been far from ideal, along with the light being too far away. In all honesty, nearly all of the various SSH phenos had better nug density than the Medicine Man, further down the plant. I Think this is because of the open structure and very little leaf matter of the SSH vs the MM. SSH#8 was an outlier and bushier than the other phenos, a sort of hybrid growth wise between SSH and MM. The MM were all very bushy with crazy amounts of leaves. Verses the SSH, which had far less leaf matter and nodes spaced plenty apart, receiving more lumens. I think had I kept the light closer to the tops the SSH#8 could have performed very well, yield wise. Mind you, I was happy with what I got, it was just less than I expected.
Anyways, after that crazy stoned tangent, I think I should start a new paragraph, lol. Most of the mid-canopy nugs kept the triangular look. These flowers hold acceptable density for a sativa dom hybrid. Unfortunately, the smell isn't very strong, and it doesn't smell much like it did while it was growing, post-harvest. The smoke was initially smooth enough, but there was an edge of anxiety to it which would make me bloat up. Last time I smoked this pheno, was several months ago when I had some friends over.
Fast forward to today, and these three nugs have been curing for roughly eight months. Wow has the cure helped bring out the best this flower has to offer. I only wish I'd let it sit a few months longer, before deciding it was time to finish off the jar. Eight months has done wonders with cleaning up the aroma and flavor. Unlike before, when she smelled green and muddied, she now has a faint smell of citrus. Still, not much flavor, but very smooth with a light mentholated sensation on the back of the palate, after exhale.
After loading the steamroller, I take a hit but go back for another before exhaling. I want a good, first hit. Within 20-30 seconds, a smile is stretched across my face which easily reaches my eyes. As my stress melts away, I can actually breathe easier. This stands out to me since before the cure, she'd often make me bloat and have a harder time catching my breadth. Almost immediately I feel my hip settle into place and my sciatic improves.
I notice several minutes after my initial puff, that I can smell and taste the aroma of the SSH through my nose as I inhale. The scent as I go about, is actually stronger than when I smoked. Much more noticeable than when I took my single hit.
I can still feel the tenderness and tightness in the middle of my back, but my left hip is much better. I don't notice it as much and can comfortably move around. Along, with a light buzz of energy in my body and each step.
It takes a good 15-20 minutes of reveling in my music as I cheerfully take care of tasks in my home, before my back pain and sciatic begins to flare back up. With each step, I can feel my left hip with increasing volume.
My second hit brings along more flavor. I can taste Berrgamot, lingering on my palate with something a bit deeper. Hmm, it's not totally incense I taste on the back of my palate, but it reminds me of it. The smile is plastered back onto my face and surprise, I'm able to pop my back a bit when I twist. Ahh, relief! I find that I can stretch down a bit further, though my back is still tender. After stretching for a few brief seconds, a wonderful sensation begins to shimmer in my lower back. I can't tell if it's the weed, the blood flow, what it is. It's the weed!
Aside from easing tension and stress, loosening up my muscles a bit. I feel like most of the pain relief from this flower is its ability to raise one's spirits and let its user immerse themselves in their projects. It brings me into the moment, allowing me to shift focus from the pain. It is still there, but in the background. More than anything, this weed makes you happy!
I'm happy with this gal. She performed nicely. I hope to find an amped up version of her in my next straw, whenever that happens. lol.
Enjoy.

Been puffing on SSH#8 this morning, while on my balcony writing. In small doses like before, she was a clear smoke. Today, I'm finding myself having a difficult time keeping my train of thought when puffing multiple hits, at once. My serenity is complete, and I find myself lost in the moment, having a difficult time tearing my attention away from the breeze and chirping birds to the task at hand. Along with the larger doses, I find greater pain and tension relief. I casually twist my back from sides to side on the balcony, and my back obediently pops a dozen or more times. The tightness and pain which has accompanied me this past two weeks, melts away.
Wish I had more than one nug remaining of this pheno.
