Clone only strains

@D619, You're new around here, and missed our grows with the Platinum Cookies, a few months back. AJ, and I, both grew out Dark Heart Nursery's cut of GSC. The conclusion was that the their cut was in fact Platinum Cookies, based on our experience growing it, and how that compared to all of the other available grows we could find.

I agree, this cut is without a doubt, the slowest vegging plant I've even encountered. Oddly enough, it flowers quicker than you might think, at only 9-10 weeks.

To the long time followers of this thread, I apologize for reposting pics that were just up here a few months ago, but this is by request.

DHN Platinum Cookies

When I first got her...

Whatever I have I can tell for a fact my cut does not look like DHN Platinum Cookies, you just posted. Mine looks closer to BWiz. Cheers

They do look awfully similar and I first I couldn't tell any difference but I've been looking at these pics for the past few days and from @D619 second post of pics overtop of them I can say they are different. His cut seems to have more skinny pointy leave as our cut seems to have that slightly but the leaves are fatter. Here is D619 second post pic

Notice how his leaves are more thinly bladed and how some of the point straight out. I can see the difference now.

I remember what @shishkaboy told me about that OGKB 2.0 and I checked that thread out and that s1 pheno of OGKB seems to be a lot better than the original cut. Not a slow poke in veg like original and from what all the people who's sampled her say it's much better than original too. Anybody around here got this one? It seems as if the person who pop the seed and found this pheno is passing her far and wide and wants the same thing done with it just like GG#4 was. Hopefully I can source cuz with the faster veg it defs beats out the original and the DHN Platinum.

Here's a good thread with some good info

I think I see what you're talking about, but I'm not sure if that difference in leaf thickness is solely related to it being new growth, or not.

Yea it's slightly different but not much. Honestly that's all I can see that's different. Look at the 2nd cut on the bottom of the pic of his I just reposted and you can see the older leafset that's overlapping the first cut above it see how thin and pointy it is? Gonna be interesting to see what it looks like once it flowers.

You guy know....feedings can change the looks of plants?
Organic vs inorganic vs hydroponic vs nft vs ect...

And the only reason,someone would say ogkb bag seed s1 is better than the ogkb bag seed....is insane.and more that likely,it just cause they can not get the real cut...
Like the original ogkb

I mean how for sure are they no stray male pollen was flying?

I'd imagine the other environmental conditions can have an effect as well?


wasn't there an article about phenotype expression due to environmental conditions? lighting spectrum, duration, temp, humidity etc
Yea there's def proof about pheno expression in different conditions. I think we all have experienced it cuz all are runs are not exactly the same like now lots of us battling some heat issues and in a couple month we won't. I can say for hand in experiencing that right now wit my Platinum Delights pheno. Last run was perfect 70-80 temps throughout with night temps in 60s. This run of it veg temps 80s with some low 90s days and Platinum Delights haven't missed a beat hell the growth is much faster than when temps were ideal. It's def loving the warmer conditions and I see mor Blue Power coming out of her as leaves as getting super fat and big but she didn't look this way last run and what's crazy the last run didn't look like the first seed run lol. Few people noticed it in the journal I have for it over at the SinCity forum.

@genuity supposedly the s1 of OGKB won some cup. I posted the link on the thread but I guess cuz of the faster veg but still getting the flavor and high is why it's getting some hype. The person who popped the seed said he got it from a batch that OGKushBreath grew back in 2012 when he was supplying dispensaries. Says he's gonna enter more cups so we will see and hear of it more.

Any info or thoughts on Let's Grow Gelato clone? It was at hhcoak a couple weeks ago.
I'm glad you said something about this cuz I went and did some research and I saw a post on Instagram about the Gelato clones from Mr Sherbenski from cookiefam and he said they're fake as fuck lol. Let's Go has a website and they say they have a lot of great clones but who knows about authenticity. Just wanted to throw that out there for you

Listen... there are at least 3 fake cookies floating around BC. That's not how we roll. Names don't mean shit. Respected, large scale growers are showing me fake cookies flowers on the regular, having never seen a real verified cut.

We picked up every cookie cut that could be sourced in California from growers and disps alike, got our hands on cookies flowers from a cookie-fam supplied dispensary, and sent all samples to the lab for a cannab/terp fingerprint and compared each to the authentic purchased sample.

From there I purged the collection of anything that didn't show the exact fingerprint of the original, and then evaluated plants based on structure, flower set, and floral characters and selected the remaining cut that was true to type, flower character, and nose. The pinnacle cuts were selfed, and I'm now screening the S1 progeny.

You have 1 of 30 packs that made it to market, as a teaser for those seeking something rare and authentic in a market supplied by liars, thieves, and charlatans.

Expect Beta-caryophyllene dominant plants with limonene as the secondary terp, followed by a blend of myrcene and linalool in roughly equal proportions and a THCA content of approximately 28% in the flower. These are a segregating generation in which I am evaluating the homozygosity of the parental donor. A rare few can share in this journey, and hopefully will find something distinct in this market.

Fraud clones abound in BC, partially as a result of the market, partially a result of hackjob breeders taking the word of someone who sold/traded them clones. Like I said, that's not how we roll. We collect en masse, and evaluate based on floral chemical profile, so you can ensure what you are getting is derived from the real deal.

You are one of the lucky few 604, so enjoy the hunt. This is not a final product, simply a real look through the recombination possible from the unique chemotypic selection. Enjoy the ride!

That shit right there looks tasty and so good. Would love to get some of that. I heard Chimera was putting out the s1 sounds like he did a good thing with he weeding out of cuts by taking the samples of the cookiefam buds and comparing with the buds of the cuts. That was smart but fakes will always be around and stuff just part of the game until genetic testing is done.

It's a good strain it really is but its not the holy grail. It has great flavor and potency is there. I've heard people say it not potent but it is but strains aren't the same for everyone and if it's not grown good and cured right could give you bad impression of what is actually good. It breeds well and is a good strain but with so many cuts and different phenos it's hard to get what's real and fake and all.
