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.
BREEDER AND STRAIN

GROWTH TRAITS
YIELD/QUALITY/TASTE
PICS
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
