drama dropped….theres no way to test the cut so pointless to keep arguing about it. and at the end of the day they are subjective opinions….some people would even argue that they like blue dream better than any OG cut. sour kush sounds good thats my kind of favorite terpene profile in nugs anyways. acrid if you ever have some nugs you wanna get around we know mutual people so pass them around. and my offer still extends you can always send some into the ICmag cup thats coming up this year on 420.

Without starting more drama with this seed release..
I can without a doubt, and have plenty people I smoke with,, say that my keeper from cc fake cookies are better than the forum, and platinum.. people can say what they want,, it tested higher, tastes better.smokes better... only thing it may be lacking is bag appeal compared with real cookies..
Only cut we haven't tried yet, is ogkb so I can't speak on that..
Cc might be some lames but some of those beans is some flames :)

I have grown both CC & BCBD GSC, both were from seed.
I knew nothing about the strain & grew the BCBD first, both were UFO freebies from the tude, so i'm not sure if i got the allusive phenotype.
I have to say, for me the GSC from BCBD was definitely better, coated in frost on large calyx swollen buds, it tasted like sweet cookie dough.
The CC streched so high in such a short time, it outgrew me (6 feet)
I had to re-pot & put on the floor in my room.
It became purple on leaf tips & in the calyx sacks as well as the stems (probably something to do with the cold air blowing up against it)
It had a very perfume type scent & was tasty, but i personally preferred the CC version :)

hi,

i don´t want to sit it on the discussion about what´s real or not..

i spend about 20€ (i´m from germany) for 2 feminized single seeds of CC GSC. one of them was a straight male, the other one a female which starts to purple between week 7 and 8.

considering that this is apparently no real cookie genetics (maybe some related), i should think about giving it a new name..hehe

anyway, these are pictures of my CC GSC pheno i took today (day 51 of 12/12)
i will show up with some pics of the final product in a few weeks

ps. there were actually some bananas in some buds..just a few in some lower buds, found about 5 seeds by now..

The plant was in a full flowerroom (4ftx4ft) and there were no seeds on any other plant in that room..so it´s still tolerable..

Those buds don't look that bad for being a swerve creation god knows what plant reversed on whatever bag seed cookie cut one of swerves friends found. Those nanners and beans were swerves way to pay u back for the male and the exspensive price tag that u paid for those 2 single seeds. We all know swerves practices if u told him u got a male or that u got a hermie he would probably try to call u a scammer trying to get free seeds or say it was growers error that caused this to happen.

Either way your buds look nice subrovka I would smoke them nice grow.

i read through the whole swerve-cookie thing not untill i purchased the seeds..so i definitely agree with you, this is really a suspect kind of practice..

i´ve never been a CC fanboy, but i guess at least i´m a lucky guy with this plant..the weed is amazing! Smells actually like dough with hints of peppermint, hard to describe but totally different from anything i smelled..

this were also the only 2 seeds i ever bought from CC, so i can´t say anything really bad or good about them..

Cali connections cookies I would say it's s half brother. I would call it a Gsc

Cali connections cookies I would say it's s half brother. I would call it a Gsc

I've grown gsc for about 5 years and I've seen half brothers strains using the cookie name And some with no relationship and some with identical smell to the forum cut gsc. I've seen it all lol.i have animal gsc which is a pheno with a stronger og dominant leading cookie. I have them all in s1 seeds which I've made. I like the fourm cut my self and I've back crossed it. So I have s2 seeds now. This summer I'll back crossing it once again to pick up better yields. It's working so far. I have plenty of seeds with out Hermes and no plants easily stressing out as before but I use seeds not clones once again.It's becoming stable.i only grow in my green house which I like. Beats being in a room with high plant counts and worrying about pg&e bills.i have a 30 1000 watt hirtalux Blues with a propane generator for the winter.

Thought i'd post what pheno I got. Let me first tell everyone that I do not agree with misleading people. HOWEVER, when I buy seeds I know that I am buying a gamble that I'll find a good pheno, and good phenos can come from ANY seed stock.

So yes, I was misled and bought from CC. 3 of the beans I sprouted all died when the taproot got about 1/2 inch long. Using normal sprouting method for myself (damp paper towel in ziploc bag) just had a chemdog (greenhouse seeds) from 2008 sprout no problems using this method.

I was able to pull 1 good pheno out of it. Just smells skunky to me. Incredibly low yielding. Hasn't been smoked yet, here's pic, we just chopped her down (at a friends house I had to move everything out of my home because my wife was trippin.)

It is one of the better phenos I've grown out. However I still think the Greenhouse seeds lemon skunk (orange pheno) was one of the best I've grown to date. Stems even smelled like oranges when i rubbed them in veg and all. (Again, I got lucky with this pheno, I got 3 lemon phenos, all different flavors, 1 lime pheno, and the orange one.) All interesting in their own way.

I'm not trying to promote people buying seeds that have been misled. Just trying to show anything has a chance of being good. I will not be labeling this as "cookies" to anyone I know here in AZ.

GSC

GSC

I've been reading growers Slag off swerve and Cali Connection for awhile now and until recently never had an opinion on his tackle as I'd never grown anything of his out. I'm currently into week 6 of the famous GSC and I can honestly say these pips were a waste of my hard earned pennies. £80 these cost me, and out the 6 pips only 3 germed. Also 1 of these was a runt, but I was left with 2 healthy looking girls. So said to myself as long as I can get a keeper out these 2 then won't be so bad. Only to my horror the bigger budding 1 is chucking out bananas. Great, so yes these are completely over priced. Personally I'm staying away from feminised as there's too much chance of Herm's. I'm sick of these sub standard companies putting out inferior genetics polluting the gene pool with there poor standards.
Cali connection are a over hyped an priced con artists.
