Mine during flower were sour sharp lime, deep skunk asshole and deep roast coffee. Now after almost 2 weeks in the jars I get sour sharp skunk and dark coffee with lime peel on the dry hit of a J... Smoke is rich and smooth and it sticks to you big time in all forms... :)
Now that made my mouth water..

2/2 males on the BX2's, vigorous plants with great structure. No space for males sadly, will be popping some more beans later on in the year as I loved what I saw.

O
14 count in the GBbx2 received today, and a bunch of stickers, a pin [ why ? ]. This spring I'll start looking for what gets green dog so excited. Also got the TG tester 5 pack, and the long bottom leaf 10 pack freebie, which I have no interest in.....if ya know what I'm sayin'..:eyesmoke:
Only 1 pin I got 2. This makes 2 of each in my collection. 1 set for both of my Fedora's, lol.

I received my Ruby Reds today 15 in the pack.
I also got 2 pins and a bunch of stickers
Same TG tester pack and the long bottom leaf cross as mentioned above.
Going to pop some RR'S and see what happens.
I think I am going to gift my stickers to unsuspecting random people by putting them on the bumpers of their cars

Great Lakes did honor their special with me and sent me my requested SSSDH X NYCO X SFV X ECSD X SFV X CHEM BX freebies along with my Ruby Reds, even though I ordered 7 hours before the promotion started. I'd like to see thank DBJ for that.
I'll hopefully be starting them up in a few months.

So...I should ditch plans of trying to work GBbx2 into the spring grow, and go w/ the long bottom cross? It can't be both.
I think it was just being said not to overlook the LBL crosses because there are some very nice cultivars coming out of them.

On a side note I got a call from an old timer a state away that got some of the Gorilla Bubble I grew out and he had nothing but good things to say. He was really happy with all it offered... :)

Oh, I got that, amigo, Tony giving some support to his compadres, and probably meaning every word. Then I got to thinking, after seeing his list of projects for 2017......are these expected to be better than the choices offered now? Tell me if I'm wrong, but I'm bought in because some good cats here are saying the GB is not just a good strain, but an elite strain. Good enough to launch a business around and ..."invest 4 years of my life" etc. More strains = more varieties to sell, but is there going to be better, or just variety?

Bodhi, as an example, must have 200 strains by now. Business, sure, but could someone put him on the spot and get him to declare. "In my opinion, _______ is the best one" ? I don't know him, but I'd guess you'd get the typical 'all good, depends on what you're looking for' answer. Am i Right?

I'm just exercising my buzz here [purple animal kush], but with pheno varieties a sure thing within a strain, why the need for most every breeder to have dozens or hundreds of offerings? Is there any reason that floats except business reasons? What does Tony Green smoke, when he's in the mood to smoke the best? Or Bodhi, Sub, Soma [ the dude ], ...or green dog? :mrgreen: As to the long bottom freebies, sure, could be something worthwhile there, but I can't use them. Would swap the whole pack [hypothetically, of course] for 3 good RP/DNA/IHG fems that I don't have covered.[ My go to is goji, and I'm counting on GB to be as worthwhile.:joint: ]

I hear and see where your coming from. Being small time here has its advantages for sure with being able to flip flop on what you want to try and run. All the feedback I'm getting from the GB is great. I had one cat cat and say it was bunk just to get a half unreadable text 10 minutes later saying never mind. The GB is going to be a legend here for sure.

A keeper Goji is a legit smoke and somewhat easy to find, and there are enough phenos to give most everyone something they like or love. I'm have the Black Raspberry Goji x Wookie in flower now and two of the girl for me will be keepers. That being said a keeper for me "small time grower" and a keeper for someone counting on the cut for paying the bills is two completely different things.

Tony's Bx's and his work with selection has brought out the best of the glue with a deeper back end of the Sour Bubble. Just look for the taller more vigorous plants from seed and flower out the females. I haven't seen or heard of a dud females yet in a pack of GB. Like Tony says they perform very similarly, just pick the one that smells best to you...

As for go to smoke for me, the GB is there. I call it my grown up smoke but I love some hashberry done right too... Lol

I suspect that TonyGreen like the rest of us, actually enjoys crossing his wares, looking for that ultimate cross. Plus I'm sure it opens up his strains to a broader market of growers. However, he still keeps working the Gorilla Bubble. I think I remember TonyGreen saying that he planned to keep working the Gorilla Bubble to the Bx4 F4 generation, about another 4 years of selection. This makes him a completely different breeder than Bodhi.
Don't get me wrong, I love what Bodhi does, introducing all these great and not so great, genetics and even encouraging others to improve and refine his wares.

my gorilla bubble bx2 update:

started 4 seeds. all germed no problem

disruption during veg made me destroy two plants before they could be sexed. destroyed the two smallest.

of the remaining two plants one turned out to be male one female

male was destroyed

the final remaining mom has been my favorite since germination

very easy to manipulate into a shrub which is great for my grow. tops everywhere

took 4 clones.

vegged them for a couple weeks after they rooted

to be continued....
