Quick Strain Reviews

It can be hard to dig through tons of long threads to try and find info about a strain you’re interested in. I thought it would be cool to have a thread where people can give quick reviews of strains they’ve successfully ran.

I’ll start with a rough template, and a few strains I have run in the past.

If anyone likes the idea, please contribute! I started this with selfish intentions, I’d love in a few months to be able to scroll through a thread of real peoples experiences with strains.

BREEDER AND STRAIN

Jordan of the Islands - Blueberry Cough

PHENOS

Only had one that a friend selected from 5 seeds

FLOWERING TIME

8.5-9 weeks

GROWTH TRAITS

Vigorous. Shorter and branchy. Made a nice cup shape with minimal topping, really great for LST. Thick colas from base to top of larger branches. Liked heavier feeding.

YIELD/QUALITY/TASTE

A good yielder (3oz/plant from a 400HPS). Very potent, almost too much for me lol. A strong floral/perfumey type flavor and smell with hints of gas.

BREEDER AND STRAIN

Barney’s Farm - LSD (feminized)

PHENOS

From 4 seeds all were pretty consistent with only minor differences in height/structure. Potency and flavor were all quite similar too.

FLOWERING TIME

9-10 weeks

GROWTH TRAITS

A bit stretchy. Very frosty smaller ‘clusters’ of buds on med-thin branches. This strain seemed to be a lighter feeder. Fan leaves turned a nice purple in late flowering.

YIELD/QUALITY/TASTE

Moderate yield (2oz/plant under 400W HPS) - the buds looked huge, but were very airy. They had a really nice citrusy lemon smell and flavor but were not potent at all. It was below average in potency.

BREEDER AND STRAIN

JAH Seeds - Bluberry x Island Sweet Skunk (feminized)

PHENOS

4 seeds started. Plants were pretty similar in general structure and size. 1 pheno had larger more sativa like buds with foxtailing, 1 was more smaller and very dense nugs. The other 2 were in between.

FLOWERING TIME

10+ weeks

GROWTH TRAITS

Really vigorous in veg and liked being topped. Medium stretch. Very thick sturdy branches. Large, pretty dense buds that are very frosty. 3 out of the four threw male flowers. One pheno made them almost constantly from about 3-4 weeks to finishing.

YIELD/QUALITY/TASTE

Good yielding (1lb from 600WHPS), could probably be a great yielder dialed in. There is some variation in taste potency, but the most prominent smell is ‘lime koolaid’. Flavor is perfumey and thick. It’s all high potency with a middle of the road satia/indica buzz. One pheno is VERY potent…head crusher high lol

BREEDER AND STRAIN

BC Bud Depot - Girl Scout Cookies (feminized)

PHENOS

3 seeds, 3 different phenos. 1 was very stretchy with big buds that were foxtailed and fluffy with a non descript hay/grasslike smell and taste - mild potency. 1 kinda stretchy with more dense, foxtailed buds - citrusy smell and stronger smoke. I shorter and bushier with very dense golf ball buds and a hazey/licorice type taste and smell - very potent.

FLOWERING TIME

9-10 weeks

GROWTH TRAITS

Stretchy, a bit nute senstitive - lighter feeder. Tendency to form one main cola, much better structure if topped. The hay pheno threw out the odd male flower throughout budding, I didn’t find any seeds but was plucking them off a couple times a week.

YIELD/QUALITY/TASTE

Average - good yielder. The hay tasting pheno was very mild potency. The other 2 are quite strong with a sativa leaning buzz. The dense golf ball pheno has a thick hazey flavor and very intense hight.

PICS

Hay pheno outdoors didn’t foxtail and was a denser than indoors with a bit better sweet smell/taste. Still mild potency

Hay pheno on left, short bushy pheno on right

The short dense pheno, thick heavy colas with a hazey smell and taste.

well i do enjoy blueberry cough.it does beautiful outdoor as well as inside.
outdoor it’s main claim to fame is it doesn’t get bud rot. which is a very good thing.
very potent and produces 125-150 grams per plant outdoor. not a huge producer
but big fat nuggets.makes some tasty oil.this id a picture of one that is coming down in about 2 hours from now.

and a top shot from a week ago.

that’s my review . thanks beacher for letting me show those.appreciate it.

Wow that’s nice, beautiful colors! Thanks for contributing :+1:

I hope no one minds me digging up this dead thread. Id like to give it a chance, i think its a very useful idea.

BREEDER AND STRAIN

GG4 (Gorilla Glue) S1 - GG Strains

PHENOS

I have grown 7 of these plants, and I wasnt able to distinguish more than one pheno (earthy smell).

Maybe bud structure differed but nothing that you would prefer over another, just different.

FLOWERING TIME

9-10 weeks

GROWTH TRAITS

pretty healthy plant, rooted easily, out of the seven only one hermied a bit (less than 10 seeds) and most likely my fault from light and heat stress.

YIELD/QUALITY/TASTE

Yield is average, I got about 240 grams out of 300w light on my first grow. And one fan fell over an entire plant and decapitated it, so it could have been far worse .

Quality is really good, it cures into an earthy/sweet and grinds to an earthy/chem smell.

EFFECT

It has a strong mental high at first that turns into a very heavy body stone.

nice one. its got that gg look for sure, love the structure and frost. no herm issues?

not on that run. the next run had a couple seeds but i also suspect a frequent light leak and/or heat stress could have been to blame.

thats acceptable for modern genetics imo. i always save those random seeds so i can never start them one day lol. i think theyd be extra herm prone vs the parents
