I have not tried the Dank Sinatra yet. @Punisher84 swears by it - but I don't think he has run the 4th Gear.
I'll be able to give you a better answer after the Dank F4's hit the market

I have been watching several of the breeders, and a lot of them seem to be "strain-locked". I don't mind that a bit when someone finds fire, then breeds everything else they have with it. But then the strains all tend towards the same variety. So if you don't like stardawg (for example) then a lot of Heisens gear is out. But he has other stuff. Variety. (I also have never met a strain I didn't like, I have heard others that are picky)
I have also only been in the game for a few years so my opinion is not worth a lot. But I think these trend-starting/following/continuing things are a good business model, if you find something that people like (and buy), you go with it. But if you get pigeonholed into a certain genre, you will maintain a certain clientele. But since I have only been in it for a minute I haven't seen the strain progressions that got them to where they are now.
What I have seen so far from @J.James is variety. Nothing he has sent me to grow has been remotely similar to anything else he has sent. If you look at what's for sale now, there are 9 strains that have very little similarity to each other.

I love the variety. I mean even in the 90s there were a large amount to choose from but nothing like now . I agree same strains get old but I get it, especially if it's a stellar cut. There are only a couple strains I've kept over the last couple years and I will keep popping new shit till I find another winner . Thx so much for the response man!What I mean is that he doesn't have 5 different 4th Gear crosses. Stuff like that.
Then again, that might have to do with production volume and the ability to do that many different crosses at once - well. Hell, I'm just a stoner that grows plants.

So far, I have only found one strain I didn't care for (ILGM Skywalker OG) - it got me high, but it tasted like dirt. There are some that really stood out, and I'm all about the variety.
The 4th Gear was a memory lane type thing. There was some "sticky-bud" we got a hold of in high school (no one new strains back then where I was) and the 4G gives me that same buzz. This might play a lot into peoples favorites.

Thought of a better name for the smaller hippie - Flower Child. I have a very fine layer of coco chips in the bottom of the pot. before I dunked it into the new soil I brushed off most of the loose stuff.
And the G13 Genius (fem) showed me this asymmetry which is why she flipped. In veg and trich's starting on the fans as well
And speaking of the G13 - there are three crosses in here now.
One is almost ready - getting some milk, with an amber here and there
The other looks to go another few weeks and get wicked shaped tops.

What I have been calling Hydra Hobbit (3-headed dragon x Longbottom fighter) by @Bad Dawg is DANK! The buds are fluffy feeling, but heavy if that makes sense. They had the long "calyx-ladders" or whatever those things are called, but they definitely are full of resin and didn't dry up larfy.
It's just dry enough to smoke. I can't pinpoint the smell now. It was like Italian or Caesar dressing. Now it's like homemade pickles with the fresh dill and onions.
No telling where it'll end up when it's cured, but this is the funkiest stuff I've grown. Thanks! And what is weird is that it didn't smell up the joint when it was growing.
This pack will be right back on the grow list, and I'll be setting this aside for evening weed. It packs a punch, but I feel muscles relax as it kicks in. Nice.

I was going to try the White Grape next, but the Dulce Cherry Punch is dry, and I had to see what it was about. I have no problem figuring the smell on this one. It was from "Chuckers Paradise" which I learned has no affiliation with the site, and that the site caused a wrinkle in this dudes mellow LOL.
This smells like Chick-Fil-A nuggets. In the jar and ground up. I saw someone post recently about a "poul-tree" pheno and I thought it was a joke.
Found it I'm actually getting a little sweet on the exhale, but it has an aftertaste a little like chicken. Decent buzz. Pleasantly surprised.
This was an ugly ass plant until I trimmed it to a single cola. Ended up with over half an ounce from it. I know that when I grow out the pack this will be a one-off and I'll probably get all the sweet cherry stuff.

The DCP is interesting smoke, but the buzz is nothing to write home about. I like the smell more than anything, and the taste is delicious. It still has time to cure.
The White Grape by hazeman is primo.
I think this is like the LBF cross. It's gonna have it's place. NOT chill in the evening weed. It's a little on the racy side, but hits all the good 'sativa' effects. Uplifting, want to go do stuff. Not necessarily productive stuff with a goal in mind. Just stuff.
It smells more like wine than just grapes to me. It has a sour note that gives it that fermented quality you get from a white wine. Frost for days, so the keif from this and the HH will both end up as budder, and I'll see if they actually rock it like dayquil and nyquil

I was gonna do a big update - here's pics instead. I have work to do...
And this is the work. Haven't been keeping track of these well other than watering. Both have too much amber on the leaves, but milk most everywhere.
This is the tops, but underneath there's no new growth with it's new trichomes. Watching all the calyxes stack up got me mesmerized.

The G13 x Hashplant were 165g and 175g wet. Tiny plants, dense as hell.
Here is the one limb that had the whorled phyllotaxy all the way to the top.
This plant was more "clumped" and the heavier of the two. I couldn't clean the nugs well without breaking the lowers off.

Out of the three by @SCJedi I think the G13xHP will be the best.
The Blackwater x Mystery hermed, but is pretty frosty. I'll end up using it for hash or edibles though, smokes a little harsh.
The Nigerian Sunshine x Bodega Bubblegum had promise (smells great, grew healthy) but there's just not a lot there. It's not larfy, and looks like dense buds- but it's hairs. There's a fat layer of pistils on it which I guess means lots of small calyxes? The early smoke was good and it has potential in the final cure, but it didn't wow me. This plant might benefit from a manifold/4-top to force some plumpness. Left to it's own devices there was no gusto
But the '88 G13xHP looks like my kind of smoke. There were two different looking phenos, but they smell the same. It's an 'almost citrus' that may cure into it, with some fuel and spice. And it is rock hard nugs. It was an easy grow, but next one I'll veg longer and prune it before flower so it doesn't "clump up" when they get fat. The 4-top, manifold type grow where you snip all the bottom shoots ain't for this weed. Unless you need to save space. Those two little 12" tall plants got me just under 3oz of goodies. On the down side it did look a little light on the trim frost - for a "hash-plant"

Growing on a dime
Might be a dumb question but when u say wash ur buds , whats the procedure and the benefits of doing that?
I just chop plant, hang for bout a week, then maybe paper bag it a day or 2 then straight to jar.
Just curious man
Thanks
