Gage Green Group Info Thread

[Amos Otis]

How can you not think of flavor? Have you only seen pics of og and not smoked any?

Somas NYCD can't be compared to tahoe. And not even close to ecsd. Try a good mouth coating og or ecsd, you'll forget all about nycd I guarantee.

Okay...before the thread is jerked back ' on ' topic, how 'bout naming your 'go to' og and ecsd? Does your guarantee cover the cost of packs, should the NYCD indeed be the winner?

I guess I should have thought of the terms first, right? I guarantee you'll like it, if not, you got to burn a free one. lol My personal fave OG from seed would be between cc's tahoe, og 18, or Greenthumb;s ghost s1. I gotta say though, the good good phenos of tahoe and the 18 aren't the majority, but aren't that hard to find if you're choosing out of decent number of females, like 10+. Greenthumbs ghost was pretty stable. I haven't found any good representations of ecsd from seed yet, so I would say the real deal. A buddy had a good one from RP a while back, but it was a bit different from the clone. Didn't yield as much, different structure, very similar taste though. Don't know what the other phenos were like. I've seen better crosses with sour d than most breeder;s versions of it.

 

[Mad Hamish]

OK so I just KNOW you haven't had the D if you prefer the Tahoe ROFL... Last time I will mention another breeder on this thread, but anybody suggesting CC as a viable choice from my lab is on a whole different planet from me reefer-wise. I like DANK. As a medical user with another in the house with totally opposite needs, CC does not make the grade. Greenthumb - same story. Medical reefer, bred by medical patients. I kinda stick to that. I don't like bling-weed. Rapper ganja, just drives you crazy.

So to try get back on topic a bit here. So there are a few things you guys mentioned you had issues with as far as Gage goes. Sweet taste, low female counts, beanpole structure, and an OG that is not OG-like in your books, an pheno variation. So, having been blessed to run some tests for them, have a look at this. Stuff they are working on right now...

Don't like it sweet? Smoke reports for two types I ran:

https://www.rollitup.org/t/gage-green-lemon-thai-x-freedom-baby.822823/

Sweet... but gets blasted by pepper right after lol

https://www.rollitup.org/t/gage-green-os-afghan-haze-x-pck.821441/

Low female counts?

Golden Gage, 9/11 girls. She also is no bean pole

Look at this batch of clones here

... Salvador x Mendo Montage, from seed. Looks pretty damn stable to me at 5 weeks! Both sides are known for passing on their grape soda flavours so StOw I would watch out for this drop if I were you.

Looks like they are working on almost everything that was mentioned as a little niggle my friends. Kgp, perhaps the Golden Gage will convince you of sweet flavors. I hate to say it but I think the guys at Gage like it as syrupy sweet as I do lol... There HAS to be an exception to that rule of yours I have pretty big expectations of it. Golden Goat x Joseph OG, I expect it to be akin to inhaling slushy syrup hehehehehehehe....

 

[Dunbar Santiago]

NYCD isn't "The D". And yes, tahoe blows it out of the water. You just dumbed yourself down to a whole other level. No point in talking og's with someone that's never had any and calls it "rapper ganja".

Can we leave the insults please? My first ever OG experience was two packs of Tahoe OG. So if you really tell me a type that hardly EVER delivers the claimed 'Lemon Pledge' phenotype, herms even outdoors from REG seeds, has zero vigor and in my opinion a pretty mild high even taken to 77 days like Swerve said is BETTER than a type that delivers only two phenos, BOTH good, consistently, gives all that toke it the sweats from pure potency, has insane vigor and is so stable you can, as I said, chuck it through a dryer with a strobe light on and get no herms, then yeah buddy. Enjoy your Tahoe.

 

[Mad Hamish]

Fact is, 3 packs of Tahoe and you might get a decent mum. One seed of NYCD and you are guaranteed an excellent mum. I don't know man. 25 years experience talking here. I don't fall for the bling-weed. I like MEDICINE like I said.

 

[Dunbar Santiago]

First you say you don't think of flavor when you think og, then you say nycd is light years better than OG. You know damn well you've never had og and are making shit up. That's ok, it's obvious to me and I'm sure it's obvious to everyone else that reads your silly comments. Your nycd would end up in the compost heap around here. I've had nycd many times, and guess what, it's nothing special AT ALL. 25 years experience my ass. Lol. More like 2.5! Keep on making shit up to seem cool on the internet.

Hey...it's not my flame war ! But I'll admit, I don't mind reading [or participating] in a good one, and this one is pretty entertaining.

Just one thing, Dunbar, and it's no big thing......but I always deduct style points when someone does this: "I'm sure it's obvious to everyone else"....

See....you really don't know what is 'obvious' to everyone else, and it's a rather pointless statement anyway. It's the sort of thing, that if I were in the battle, I would site as claiming support when there has been none, and question why you can't defend your position w/o the 'invisible ones' on your side.

Anyway.......as you were.

 

[Dunbar Santiago]

I hear ya amos. Sure that statement was a flaw on my part, I shouldn't assume what might be obvious to another individual. Sometimes things are that obvious that you assume others would see what you're seeing. I'm sure one could go through your posts and pick them clean and come up with similar flaws in logic. Unless you're AI of course. If that's the case, would you help me play around with some stocks and bonds?

 

[Mad Hamish]

Whatever mate. Amos is a GURU.

Actually you can ask anybody what I was growing when I joined here. Total Noob Using Teas thread has pics of my Tahoe and me talking about it. I loved it but not half as much as my Diesel lol. CC thread has me talking about herms and shiwing oics of them. You never saw my diesel so how can you comment. Your arguments birder on absurd, and I will ignore you from now on....

 

[Mad Hamish]

apologies for spelling errors, not good on phones.

Oh, hell, DS, it wouldn't be hard for you to find flaws in my posts [ though the amount I'm aware of after wake and bake equals who cares?]

I don't have a frog in this flim flame, but that doesn't mean I can't be entertained while you and MH do yer thang. Just trying to help you tighten up so I won't lose interest.

 

[Mad Hamish]

Amos you are a Guru man. I trust you when it comes to weed that is fir sure. Seriously going to ignore any crap on here, if guys want to argue take it to pm please i have no problem with that.

 

[Amos Otis]

OK....I love ya, man, but in all fairness I have to flag you for referencing others. Less blatant use of uninvolved members, but still outside the soccer field.

So...who besides me is hitting the last bits of their sweet pineapple c-99? Oh wait....that's not a GGG strain. Sorry....let's get back to NYCD vs OG.

 

[Mad Hamish]

ROFL... Yeah man, I kinda just gave in a while ago already. Friggin RIU I tell you. How many threads outside the organic section stay on topic beyond 5 posts? Woulda helped if a few Gage growers actually rocked up, I just wanted to get the ball rolling. Like the wild west out here. Not so sure who exactly I was referencing that was out of place but anyhooo. I feel it was perfectly reasonable to point out that I have indeed grown OG and indeed the particular one mentioned and I can indeed prove it Amos. Using sense. Not like that will work out here, sigh...

Yes, I don't doubt you, MH. But see, in a top flight flame bout, those folks should be here testifying on your behalf, rather than you mentioning them.

Sorry to be such a nitpicker, but you and DS show potential to be the Ali/Frazier of RIU, and I won't always be here to help. OK...I probably will be....... but giving pointers to you heavyweights is disappointing. Probably along the lines of hiring a $500 an hour hooker, then having to explain where Prince Charles goes.

Very, very good point...

 

[kgp]

Definitely entertaining thread.

I would have to agree with Dunbar that "to me" its obvious that when talking og there is a very distinct taste that I correlate with og.

I like diesel. But the og I personally find far superior. I think more gasoline than diesel.

And mh yes, the sfv cut. I do have and love it. That is one of my all time favorite. Still not coming close to tahoe. bimo

It took a long time to source.

Every one on the thread, let's do our best to be open minded.

Respect others opinions, even though you might not share the same views.

No matter how much you know, or think you know, you can still learn from others. Knowledge is power.

Whether this thread is off topic, its interesting to see the views you all share.

This is a place to discuss and express opinions. Tone down the negativity and nit picking that I too am guilty of. Happy Friday everyone.

See this is a great attitude. At first we did not understand each other, but we made the effort to at least see what the other guy MEANS by what he says. Instantly earned my respect kgp, see I am even not writing your name in caps on purpose anymore hehehehe...

To me, the goal is to try understand what a person is really describing by his choice of words, then making your choices in future purchases relative to this understanding. So if you don't get what a guy is saying, simply say you do not understand, no harm no foul.

We are all going to come here with different preferences. And we will all be VERY passionate about it. WE ALL LOVE GANJA. And by now we all have our own unique little niggles and delights. So really, the only purpose in creating this thread was to aid people in making a decision whether or not to go for a choice on Gage's menu.

So in that sense, some VERY useful info has come to the front. If you would like something a little different, good place to look as far as OG goes. If you want it traditional, then maybe look at a different choice. This is excellent info. But we don't need to re-hash that point.

So to bring this all to a close, I will make a deal with you fellas:

I will run the Tahoe a third time, but Big Buddha, I can't touch CC gear for moral reasons as much as past experience. If you try some NYCD, we are all around the same table. After we have all done that, let's open the discussion again. If we cannot do that, we cannopt realistically REALLY be on the same page. It is not about which is better (anybody look up which has taken more Cups?...). Variety is the bomb after all! To make you even more happy I will run a seed you send me so you can be sure I am getting the right thing.

And yeah things might be off topic, but the last thing I am into is inhibiting the free flow of information. And try to get a pot-head to get past nit-picking about ganja lol... not going to happen. No matter how I resist, I fall for it 3 minutes later...

Every thread I've ever come across Dunbar participating in he's arguing about something. The type that is an expert on everything. He may be right (or wrong) but his message is lost in all of the bravado. I have a hunch that he would be a lot more polite in person
