Girl Scout Cookies

I'll definitely get some stakes ready then. I figured with the small buds she puts out she may be okay left alone but the branches do seem a bit weak. Here she is in week 2.

This came to my hands on these days, supposedly Girl Scout Cookies. I,ve seen that there are some cuts and crosses so... Does someone to know if it seems certainly a gsc cut? If yes, wich one?





Thanks in advance.

ahhhh cookies... good weed, it's fine but just another expression cannabis can have nothing more. I've tasted a few different cuts and can taste the relation and comonalities between them and other weed too.

I can also see where the cookie fam percieve their strain descriptions though I think they are way over exagerated and over emphasized. What I think is hilarious is how when this all started it was thin mints, that cocoa mint flavor was how you knew you had real cookies and not fakes... then it was that sweet doughy flavor that stood for real cookies... now berner is saying it has to have that soap smell and taste LOL.

any of you got that soap?

the hype is so funny, I figured the craze for the cuts would die down now as more and more pheno's are found and bred with but the mainstream is just catching on within the last year or so ti seems. Heck I bred a standard M/F line completely independant of GSC and before I even knew about cookies... that has that soap (way more soapy than any cookies), dough and cocoa smells and tastes.. among other componants of it's terpene profile. IMO it has a more intense well rounded flavor than any cookies I've had and a high I'll take over chem's, OG's or any cookies. So I guess I just dont think GSC is as special as other people may believe... I think proper pheno hunting and breeding can make anything obsolete.

LOL, I dont want to hype it/derail the GSC thread promoting my stuff and I dont have anything to release yet anyway... but you can easily find it if you look through some of my strain specific threads, hint hint. I only even mention it to point out that through real breeding similar and better things are to be had.

Not to really get into a pissing match but berner is talking about oil and how cookies has that taste in oil not the buds.

Thanks in advance.



like most plants.. it needs to be flowered before any more info can be given lol.. only a few plants are really distinguishable as a clone..

for sure, I have a shy bladder anyhow :D... I noticed that part, but in my experience the best flowers produce oils and hashish that smell and taste exactly like a concetrated version of the flower itself and those typically tend to be the best oils or hashs also... sometimes some phenotypes may need to be concetrated for some terpenes to reach levels detectable by the nose and taste buds others may produce enough in the glands so they are smellable and tasteable on the flower... and some terpenes are so volatile that they may not be preserved in the proccessing of the oil, uncovering less volatile smells and taste that were hidden (a similar thing can happen when curing flowers too)

but IMO with proper proccessing and preservation of terps oils and buds should taste the same, in their essence, especially if the flowers already taste good and strong... because of the quantity of terps in such a case as a "loud" variety it becomes a math problem and if there are enough of these terps in the solvent solution then a significant quantity may still survive careful processing and retain full flavor of the floral essence

I'm not hating on cookies, its a good clone to spread around to the masses and the product is better than what most people are used to... but for the enthusiasts there is much more out there and much better to be found through the right work.

You are right well atleast I know when I make bubble hash with cookies it taste and smells just like flowers just not as strong smelling so I get what your saying.

I personally can't stand the main dudes behind the cookies. I mean did u listen to some of there videos when they were making crosses on Instagram? Its funniest shit ever the dudes in the video sound like total freaking weirdo tools that most likely play butt darts with each other while smoking cookies, gelato, sherb, y-life and whatever other damn strain they wanna hype next.

With all that being said u can't take away from what they created the hype is real and cookies are a very unique tasting strain that I haven't ever tasted in weed before I had cookies or a cross of it.

for sure... it's a conplex profile smell and taste wise. components of which I totally recognize though... I think everyone recognizes the kush in it. And there are other aspects that are familiar.

the expression known as cookies, is a minoirty in the population for sure... but that doesnt mean the terpene profiles and the genes responible for them are new. the gene's already existed before GSC its just that GSC was the first expression of genes in that specific combination, brought to a public arena .

in a simliar way that blonde hair and blue eyes in humans aren't exclusive to just one family that, if you want blond hair blue eye'd kids/grandkids, you'd to have marry into... if you get what I am saying. the gene's responsable for the smells and tastes and resin already existed prior and can be found in lines and combined to find new superior lines and expressions along the same terp profile.

Any chance a local could taste the real deal?

So do tell...what brings that particular terpene to the table. Who would not want to add that taste something

fair question,
first let me expound so the answer is more clear...

think of this... terpene; quantity, composition and relative ratios are controlled by so so so so many different genes that all must be present and in a specific arrangement or you dont get your desired phenotypic expression, so if just one allele isn't present in the right place in a gene sequence of a particular individual it wont be able to produce the full desired pheno...

think of all the bagseed fortune cookies, shitty cuts and cookie crosses that might look like cookies or kinda smell like them but they dont fully represent the smell, taste and potency of GSC...

techinally the genes responsible for the terpene traits above are polygenic quantitative trait loci, following co dominant inheritance patterns for the most part.

so with how complex cookies' smell and flavor profile is, there are numerous aspects to the full terpene profile, each genetic ancestor contributing to part of "the pie" (so to speak).

Cookies and no strain for that matter is just one terpene so you have to be a little more specific about which part of the terpene profile you want to find and use to breed with?

then you have to find that specific terpene profile heavily expressed in a variety to some degree of homogeny and use that line to breed with, its pretty simple once you understand it...

but that is the work/creativity of breeding, I am happy to help people understand how things work and empower them to use the understanding but I am not going to climb near the top of a tree just to bring the fruit down to you, in other words learn what I am talking about and you should be able to figure it out yourself... but I didnt take the time to learn what I have learned just to give away all the easy answers to whoever in the world views these threads... as far as what varieties they can use to create such and such

I hope ya understand

So you can't explain it is what you are saying? You talk about being able to beat the taste but one simple question and you use mucho words to say nothing. Sorry...I ain't impressed. I am going with the happy accident that is gsc

what I am saying is:
1) your question wasn't specific enough for me to give any kind of satisfactory answer, it was either innocently nescient or loaded.

2) that there are expressions of all sorts to be found in all kinds of lines... if you know what to mix and match, you can do so with a degree of certainty as to what the possible outcomes are going to be then look for your desirable genotype and stabliize if one chooses to.



would you prefer I just told you what variety to use to add the dough terp?... or the cocoa terp?... or the soapy terp?... or the minty terp?... etc. etc. which one?


I dont come to the forums impress you or anyone, I already simplified the info enough so that the average person might get the picture... that fact that some don't and others won't is to be expected and doesn't bother me in the least.

So back to some actual cookie related material.

Here's a tk x forum cut I took down tonight. Have four more to take down yet but none look like this one. The scissor is straight minty dough with a kushy aftertaste. Looking forward to the flower. My first time growing a cookie cross. Went too heavy on the nutes and a little too close with the light. Next run will be better. I just got my hands on the forum cut so will be fun to compare as well.

68 days.

To me, Cookies smells similar to minty lipbalm (like carmex), sweet dough and OG to me but I've only worked with seeds. Occasionally I've gotten a but of cocoa.
