Hi folks. I had the chance to grow out the forum cookies x lbl and have been looking for info since. I was pointed in this direction and it's great to see that the other crosses are being well received.
I had two females, one witch I kept. Flowered for 13 weeks. Really complex flavour and aroma but lavender, marzipan and earth are about as close as I can get.

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.
