Are you gentlemen talking about most cookie crosses, or just the forum cut, as having a tiny yield? Bong load buds only?
What's the taste on those cookies> fruity or minty?
As for yields, as long as a pound can be achieved with a 600 watter, then I'm cool.

yeah, people are stupid i agree.
I will say this. After testing 2 GGG strains for them I CERTAINLY won't be in a rush to ever buy anything from them.
Thank god for my bodhi plants.

They really aren't that good? I am glad I didn't jump on the GGG train.

Both were cookie crosses so I wasn't expecting donkey dicks or anything. But I've run several other breeders cookie cuts (alphakronik, bodhi, cannaventure, etc) and they all had cookie flavor and look but nice fat yields. These were pretty disappointing in the yield department.

So GGG is a small flower guy? Or just his tiny cookies?
Sorry just think about future endeavors and crossing names of a long list of maybes.

Keep in mind these were TESTERS. So I think I was just the unlucky one on these.
Never grown any other GGG gear so I cannot comment on that.

Well, I have had more dud test plants from Bodhi than Gage, yet I buy from both because releases and tests are different stories, and because I like supporting them. Clusterfunk rmx went herm in veg. Dank Zappa also yields bong loads. As we know neither are going to release. Dank Sinatra Remix isn't even going and in this case it is potent as all get out, tasty, but. 7 grams or less per bud really even I am re thinking keeping the mum so yeah test gear eh... I dont ever rely on test gear for a crop that is worth while. Had a solid run of brilliant luck with Gage, 13 strains each delivering several keepers before the first one came along where I went 'nooooooooo'

My list of tests for them is longer than my arm and I am yet to find something like Mr Mustache did. As kgp points out it is always quality vs quantity, but I have been over the moon with yields most of the time. My Golden Gage ladies in the corner of the tent yielded just as well as the ones directly under the lamps, Cornerstone gets beastly big with huuuuuuuge Diesel nugs, Giant Steps is really fukin aptly named too. Daybreaker didn't break the scale but scared my friends it was too strong for most.

Salvation and Cornerstone, apologies the quality I just used the phone for some quick snaps and the smaller bud one is my lowest yielder from them ever, GS xGSOG, her sister is looking a ton fatter though

PS them girls are running in a tnt undergoing STRESS TESTING. 100F and only one little fan rolling so far. Solid as tanks.

See I've had nothing but amazing testers from B. I think it lulled me into a false sense of security with testers. Thought they would ALLLL be amazing but that was just silly of me. Especially when I told M4K to throw ANYTHING my way. I said nanners don't scare me neither do strange ass crosses. Got no nanners but certainly some weird ass bud. LOL.
I'm not upset in the least though. I ran enough plants that yield will still be fine. The Quality is still top notch and I'm pretty sure the patients won't be complaining.

Well ya never have posted anything to suggest a dud from either breeders from my viewpoint. Perhaps I missed them.
Nothing I've grown from bodhi has been a dud. Some plants I obviously like better than others, but a dud? Nope.
Eta: not that it's not possible. Just haven't experienced nor seen anyone post what I'd call a dud

I don't report on the failures in public, only to the breeders. Way I see it, if it is good and gets a release then the info is actually very useful. If it is crap odds are it won't make release and reporting on it will merely damage reputations. Then there is the whole fact I am in no way Mr Master Ganja Guru so many failures are down to my actions and it might take me a bit to figure out. Actually, I review nothing I don't like. In that sense I am more picky than any body, out of all the Bodhi types I have run I reported on only two thus far, Gage a few more...

It's one thing to only post successes publicly, but I'm a fan of posting the good, the bad and the ugly.
Otherwise any breeder or fan of a breeder could make greenhouse or barneys look good by omitting the bad.

I couldn't disagree more with hiding the duds. I was under the impression the breeders wanted pictures posted and info given about the good, bad and ugly. I don't send emails privately with breeders because I'm pretty sure they have better things to do than converse with fanboys. Plus their mailboxes are always full lol.
I was sent some other GGG testers. Am I gonna pop them? You bet.
Like I said I'm stoked either way. As long as I get my elbow plus per month Things are good. This still did that (you think I relied only on cookie cross testers for my harvest? See signature.
