Does anyone have a sense of what the Longbottom Fighter brings to the party as a breeding male? Any particular characteristics it regularly adds in crosses?
Sharp lemony potent goodness!
Out of all the BD freebies I grew, those Starfighter/Longbottom crosses were the most memorable.

The first round of seeds I grew gave me one plant in particular that was top shelf in every way. Easy to trim, dense flowers, and greasy trichs.
And its not soft or sweet lemon - its sharp, likely from the JC2 parent.
If Jeff selected a male to work with from those, its likely very nice.

I wish I had I'd kept mine.

Excellent! <makes Mr. Burns gesture> Thanks....just the summary I was looking for.

Very grateful for the Bad Dawg GLG freebies, so wanted to post a few images. Planted two seeds of LVTK x LBF and Stardawg J x Apollo 13 f4 and got one female for each. I have limited space, so they stayed in solo cups until showing sex (~5 weeks), were repotted, then flipped to 12/12 a week later. These pics are at 32 days after the flip. They are some very frosty girls.

Have to say, I am blown away by the quality of these freebies, so far. Thank you! Will try to post updates and maybe a smoke report somewhere down the road.

Awesome! Thanks for posting these. I just got some of those LVTK x LBF's. What kind of scents do you get from them?

Yea that was a good description from Tangerine of what I got with my LBF too.
My last seed was the best and it was lime green color with straight candy cane peppermint smell and taste. All were easy to grow hardy plants. Here’s a pic for ya. This one was chopped on Christmas too, ha.

Y'all are making me envious of the Bad Dawg crosses you haven't that I don't have!

Somehow I'll manage.

Given all the lemon in the LVTK x LBF family tree, I was expecting some citrus. While I may not have the most discerning sense of smell, what I'm getting is a sweet, kind of (blue?) berry smell. This could change as she finishes, but I'm not complaining.

A few other comments. I accidentally broke off the leader while doing some LST, so there is no main cola. Was bummed, but crap happens. Anyway, she made up for it and stretched a fair amount after the flip to 12/12. Internodal spacing is about what I'd expect for side branches; buds are medium sized, though still fattening up. Foliage was light and easily managed. Picture isn't the best and doesn't really do her justice, but FYI.

I got 20+ of the LBL pheno and 20+ of the starfighter pheno of the LBF, I got to get to work soon!
I got a pack of each of those too. I'm trying to guess which one I'll like more. My impression from listening to people is that the LBL side might have a sharper lemon flavor and the starfighter might have a slightly sweeter, lemon cream sort of thing. Do I have that right? But then what about the buzz? Should I expect differences between an "LBL high" and a "Starfighter high"?

I also got one of the LVTK/LBF packs. Does anybody have experience smoking or growing the LVTK by itself?

Oh yeah. There seems to be varying phenotypes but funky og to lemon cake have been the terps. The lvtk I keep around is all gas og funk, no lemon, and she hits hard. 20200204_165550.jpg

Im always interested in the phenos the breeder keeps / intends for the project vs what the consumers find and keep as their winners
Yeah, this seems like a case where tnse's pheno might be the best of the bunch by itself but Bad Dawg might choose a "lemon cake" pheno for this cross if he wanted to maintain that flavor across all the offspring. I love the breeding strategy stuff myself.

Same. Im curious about more experienced breeders strategy because I normally just do open pollination's for preservations. Or when I breed two strains, I just will pop 2 packs then throw em all in 1 tent and come back in a few months and harvest seeds and see what I got. I figure doing specific line-breeding is more beneficial and also yields results quicker and more noticeable; I just don't have too much experience with it and don't have the time to do projects like that. For example, the next open pollination I have on the books is @Useful Seeds Black Cherry Soda x Ancient OG F3 to preserve that line, then depending on what I find in the males; I wanna keep some pollen and hit the Chem D x Banana OG I have going. I figure with the Fuel from the Chem mixed with the sweet OG and BCS, it should come out sweet with a back of fuel so I'm imagining it smelling like Dr. Pepper mixed with Jack Daniels. If that is the case, id call it "Grandma's Sunday Drink" or GSD for short.
