Nice pics, Vic! Got any higher rez pics? That pheno deserves a closer inspection. ;)

Here's my smoke report for 2 out of my 4 GG4 x LBL ladies:

Evaluation & Smoke Report
Strain, Lineage & Breeder?

Gorilla Glue #4 x Longbottom Leaf (SFV OG x Jack’s Cleaner #2) by Bad Dog Genetics (house breeder for www.greatlakesgenetics.com seedbank)

Indoor Grown or Outdoor?

Indoor under 12x Cree 3590 3500K COBs @1400ma in a 4x4 tent

Organics or Synthetics?

Recycled Organic Living Soil (ROLS) in Sub-Irrigated Planters (SIPs) - 7gal ROLS in cloth pots on top of 18gal SIPs reservoirs

Harvest Size, Bag Appeal & Density

Pheno 1: TBD

Pheno 2: 113g. Harvested at day 60, very stretchy, but was done at day 56. 8/10 bag appeal: no big colas, but no larf either – all bowl to joint sized nugs. Incredibly frosty, and solid as a rock. This one has “dry” trichs that feel like sand and aren’t sticky at all. Surprisingly solid yield from this plant.

Pheno 3: 100g. Again took at day 60, moderate stretch, but needed another week to 10 days. 7/10 bag appeal: some big colas, but it is not as dense as the other. Sticky. Expected these nugs to weigh more, but they need finishing time to plump up.

Pheno 4: TBD

Odor Level & Description

Pheno 1: TBD Smells like #2 with more lemon at day 30F. Grows like it too.

Pheno 2: Smelled like nothing for early flower, then smelled like wet ashtray, then hot concrete after a fresh rain, and finally like rich earth with very light lemon. Cured, it smells like butterscotch pudding with overtones of the dirt in an old growth birch forest below the decomposing leaves.

Pheno 3: The best smelling pheno so far, alternated between a green apple scented sharpie and mint chocolate chip in flower. Cured, it smells like sweet dirt mixed with chocolate and sharpie. Delicious!

Pheno 4: TBD Smells like #2 almost exactly at day 30F. Grows like it too.

Smoke Report and Ratings (Taste, Effects, Smoothness, Duration, etc.)

Pheno 1: TBD

Pheno 2: 6/10 This one has a very mild “earthy” flavor, with a slight hint of lemon in the finish. Not tasty, but not offensive. Smooth smoke that is full on the palette, perhaps “creamy.” It got labeled “creeper reefer.” It’s not super strong, but very relaxing, albeit short-lived: 45min effects at most. After vaping a bowl, you won’t get higher the more you smoke.

Pheno 3: 8/10 This one tastes just like it smells, which is a bonus. Maybe more early chocolate tones than synthetic sharpie in the smoke. Very delicious! Not harsh at all, but not “creamy” either. The effects are just like #2, slightly creeper, but its effects last longer and it has no ceiling – it’ll take you to another galaxy if you keep puffing it.

Pheno 4: TBD

Medicinal value?

Pheno 2 might be good for anxiety because it’s short-term. Pheno 3 might be good for PTSD and pain because you just keep getting higher and zone out.

Keeper?

So far, #3 has potential to be a keeper for the flavor, but it’s so slow to finish that I’m not sure it’s worth it. I’m looking at #1 and #4 to be an upgraded version of #2 – fast, good yield, and good flavor with nice effects.
I havn't unfortunately bud. The full plant pictures were deleted a while back. I'll be flowering a cut fairly soon so I'll make sure to get some decent pictures then.

Just a couple of days ago, I not so subtly offered up a 10 pack of starfighter F2 x lbl for 3 decent fem beans - the biggest reason being that I can always use fem beans to back up regs turned males, and that I'm flush with beans that I can't get to as it is.

Just took a smoke break while reading this thread - thanks for the help, amigo. Your grow pics on my freebie stopped me from making a big mistake. :oops:
Any time my man!! Honestly bro, it is really good smoke, must be grown to believe :)

I have the other two phenos of GG4 x LBL going this round, along with another run at the #3 chocolate mint sharpie pheno. Here's a photo dump at day 47F.

The two new ones are structured like the damp earth pheno - very stretchy and strong red stems that I had to supercrop to keep them below the COBs - but have more and better smell: earth + lemon + slight berry.

Your name may be the biggest misnomer I have seen on any forum. They look fantastic (as usual) :weed:

The last two phenos of this turned out pretty good. Pheno 1 smells of lavender and mint, but didn't yield that great. It has a good taste, and a nice relaxing high.

GG4xLBL1 No Cure.jpg

Pheno 4 leaned more gg4, and yielded 108g trimmed and cured. It has an earthy, slight gasand lemon smell that doesn't translate to the flavor, which is just sweet and mild but not distinctive. The high is a little racy, but settles into a cozy meditative stupor after awhile. Very nice.

GG4xLBL4 No Cure.jpg

It was also really pretty up to the end:

The rerun of pheno 3 was decent. The buds didn't fill out as much this round, but it still has a great green apple sharpie smell. This one would be nice outdoors.

so a 1 month veg @24/0 ?
Yeah roughly. I "may" continue to veg the best looking one after sexing because I've been impressed with DBJ/BDGs crosses and have no worries about wasted space.
I need to decide soon too because these are starting to get a bit stretchy, so its either top again or throw em in the bloom room. Right now, I'm really just waiting for the opportunity to grab some decent clones from the bottom. May have to LST to get that to happen though.
I dropped my last 5 Starfighter F2xLBL seeds a couple days ago too and that's influenced my decision to cut the veg on the DHs from 8-10wk veg to 4wks.
Whatever I decide I'll update because DBJs work and generosity deserves the review.

:leaf: :D

i like those lbl crosses also. if you decide to top, how long do you plan on keeping a mom before flowering her? i plan to run the kosher kush#1 & blackberry banana lbl crosses outdoors. last years starfighter x lbl served me well, hopefully i can monster crop the ones i have finishing up now. dbj & glg is the way to go. i completely respect the other banks i have used, but glg is #1 to me.

If I decide to top again I would give them approx. 2 wks to recover before flipping. Of course that's all dependent on how the plant responds. So far all 3 are very uniform.
The Kosher Kush x Blkberry Ban LBL sounds promising. I cant wait to see what GLG does for this yrs 4/20 promo. I've already started adding packs to my cart and there's what....4 wks left before it even starts!? lol
