the truth behind girl scout cookies

Honestly . If I had the actual fact ,I'd let every breeder and farmer know on IG who the real creator of girl scout cookies is. It takes time , effort and passion into isolating keeper genetics. To do the work and someone else come along and claim they ate the breeders I'd be mad. To me cookies is over rated anyways. But to each is own.
It's def not holy grail by no means but it makes good smoke and crosses so I'm good with it. People cry about herms and stuff but just fail to realize all that comes with it. Like you said to each his own

Wiz Khalifa says the first batch he got from Berner was "fruit punch"! :-D But I can't describe it as a fruit punch. It's more of a sweet/minty/earthy/spicy smoke.

Ok.
I will share what I know about the strain, not the other bs, cause who cares who takes credit for it. Prideful people need to leave the cannabis scene!
Now, I scored some GSC from a dispensery in southern California on a visit. It was some serious dank! Some of the best smelling bud I had come across in a while. Like OG Kush on steroids! I twisted a fatty and took a couple small puffs. Nice spicy,slightly fruity, kushy flavors, very smooth, but not strong or loud flavor. Not much stone. So I relit the joint and power hit the remaining two thirds of thhie joint.
BAM!!!!!
So strong, almost psychedelic, but relaxing enough to enjoy without the heavy speedy affects usually associated with psychedelic weed.
Found a couple funky seeds, and was super pumped!
Got one to go, and she was identical to the mother plant the bud came from.
Now if you have grown the cookie, you can spot her in veg a mile away! Slow started in bud, but makes up after 5 weeks. Unfortunately she herms around week 4 pretty consistently, so lots of people pull her. Big mistake for two reasons. One you haven't seen her magic yet. Two, her pollen is not very viable. That's why most people who find bag seed only find a few.
So 9 to 10 weeks, if you make it, you will be in awe of her abilities and yield for such a little stumpy plant.
Ok. Genetics.....only thing that makes sense is Cherry Pie x some OG Kush.
Durban, wacky spice and soaring affect.
GDP, purple color and fruity scent.
OG Kush, pod size, mega resin, punch on potency and dank kush smell.
I have also grown Bodhi`s Strange Love, and it's the same cookie.
Also it dominates everything it's crossed to. You will always get super resin, purple, dense crusty dankness and reduced stretch.

I have some studies on neurochemistry and pharmacology, but I've never heard anything about relaxing the BBB! Can you explain a little more about that? How does Myrcene help THC to cross the barrier more efficiently?
Not sure on the exact science behind it but it is quoted a ton of places. From http://www.fundacion-canna.es/en/terpenes "It has also been shown that the myrcene alters the blood-brain barrier, favouring the penetration of cannabinoids in the brain and increasing the effects." and from http://steephilllab.com/resources/cannabinoid-and-terpenoid-reference-guide/ "[Myrcene] also has some very special properties, including lowering the resistance across the blood to brain barrier, allowing itself and many other chemicals to cross the barrier easier and more quickly. In the case of cannabinoids, like THC, it allows it to take effect more quickly. More uniquely still, β-Myrcene has been shown to increase the maximum saturation level of the CB1 receptor, allowing for a greater maximum psychoactive effect."

I concur. The high is nothing to special. But it's some tasty ass smoke.
That's if you use her to much.
Only meant to be smoked on special occasions. Won't have the same affect if that's all you got to smoke.
Must get that from the GDP side, as that is the same affect I get from that strain.

Wonder how it synergistically affects with other psychoactive substances? :-)

You know I'd be willing to bet it works a bit with them, I always found Shrooms to work best when they're blended into a Mango smoothie, and mangoes are high in Myrcene so who knows, but I been mixing shrooms and mangoes long before I knew about terpenes so I'm inclined to think there may be a connection haha

I kinda have to disagree with GSC pollen not being very viable. I think it is very viable since every major pheno is used in reversed R1 crosses. I think you just have to run her best as possible to limit many seeds it any at all. I've seen great growers grow the many cuts and still get seeds. They self themselves pretty easily which is why there are so many pheno of it out there. Everyone is finding bag seed and popping them and some are turning to be stellar phenos lots not so. I think it all depends on the cut, pheno of a cross plus how much you smoke and the person really as to how he high would be. Every person is different so just cus we both smoke a 1/4 doesn't mean it will affect us both the same. I think it's just all around good smoke. The Platinum Delights pheno I run is pretty good and doesn't build up too bad I thinks it fits whatever mood your in at the time when smoking. Grown DHN Platinum but would like to get my hands on the Forum cut.

agree too. my gs nookies is bomb smoke. i find the out crosses to be better than the orig. other peeps i talked w feel the same. & cookies' potential in a cross has already been defined by farmers playing w/ her... that nug, that terp profile, etc

I think a lot of the herm problem is stress no nutes for first month 300-400 for next 3 weeks should be good long as u don't stress during transplant or over feeding but that's just from my exp

Too many strains.. Too many other strains..

I was always able to find something better on the menu. Id always grab a bag or two of what they label GSC and a couple other strains and inevitably prefer the skywalker or some other OG leaner over the "cookies". I'm guessing it's because there are probably few to no storefronts that were actually holding real cookies..

And really who cares.. Take it back to the top..

Yea some of that is in there especially if you are flipping around after starting like that but it's mainly cus it was a herm fest that created it hence why there are so many of them. Crossed with a stud male and it can be worked to bred those qualities out but I I'll take a while and many pheno selections to do it
