Gage Green Group Info Thread

[Jack O'Neill]

here's a nice article, surprisingly HT.

The Cookie Family also have several new projects on the horizon. They are currently building a huge genetic library, though they’re not looking to put it on the market anytime soon. What you will see in the near future is something they refer to as “Pollen Nation,” which will be a program to market the male pollen of the GSC. Rather than selling seeds, they want the Cookies to be a more intimate experience for growers. Jigga explained that, by making the pollen available, they allow cultivators to “find and unlock the different healing potentials that this plant has to offer on a personal level, whether it be its proven medicinal purposes or something that just helps your creativity.”

this is something i would get.

All bullshit to me. Just a ploy to keep things locked down the way they are and not let you know what the genetics are. We as growers want seeds yes there's some of us who like to chuck but most of the community wants to grow so why not put out seeds if people want GSC. No they won't cus they wanna keep it all to themselves. With GSC pollen you will never get what they say is "real cookies" only a cross of it. Wouldn't people who want to breed want a female GSC to breed with? All bullshit and the reason why I don't like them. I saw that article and it talks about it in the video of a interview they did with them too. Just sad how they bottleneck this strain

i could care less about the cookie fam. but i wouldnt mind looking into pollen breeders, if there legit.
i would like some real og pollen. so i can cross it with my other og's or whatever i have, instead guessing if the male i got is worth keeping.

I kinda agree with @akhiymjames money is the main motivator. But I dont see much wrong with that because this idea could branch out into a great thing. I would love to buy some breeder pollen and make a cross. Obviously wouldn't sell it but then you dont have to have their father cut and it almost seems like good papa cuts are more tightly held than moms.

but isnt it the same thing going thru beans, that have certain strains in them? hoping for that certain cross.

i just like the pollen idea. hopefully someone legit would run one instead of a hustler/big company.
i've heard the potency side is on the male side. maybe thats why the father cut is tightly held?

I know you don't care I'm just pointing out their tactics. It is a great idea tho and I would love to be able to get pollen of certain strains instead of hunting for good males.

The idea is a great one but when it comes to them and this GSC strain it's just a ploy to keep us out the loop. Plus most breeders are gonna want to know what they're breeding with and buying GSC pollen you will never know what your crossing your strains with so how can you open up the healing properties if you don't know the genetics of the strain. I think males are guarded so tightly because a lot of strains can be recreated with all the genetics out there. If you know what a breeders male looks like then you can make the same crosses or better ones. If no one knows then it's gonna be much harder to create a strain.

Thats what I am talking about. If tga released jtr pollen I would grab some in a second along with blue power by sin city, yeti by loompa, cherry puff pollen from ggg (that is one of the new males they are using right? ) and any pollen bodhi released lol.

 

[Mad Hamish]

Like anything else I will give it a roll once and see what's up...

Yes it is the same but with this strain and them you will never have a chance at a GSC female. The way they talk GSC is supposed to be stabilized in seed form so why not put out seeds too for the community who doesn't want to chuck and make their own crosses you can have the GSC female. Some people don't want a cross some people will just want pure GSC but not putting out seeds is just hoarding this so called Thin Mint Cookies and no one will ever get to grow it. Just representations of it from the pollen. It is a great idea and if it happens lots of people will jump on it and tbh I prolly would myself if I could hit something a get a great GSC pheno but it's all just a way to keep it locked down

But I agree with you and hydro it is a great idea I would love to have pollen of some great strains

Greetins,
I'm new to this thread and forum, and have been eying GGG for awhile, due to their distinctly unique lines. I see lots out there that have been sold out for a long time..do they remake these older lines, or are they done once they're sold? Sorry I didn't take the time to read everything, there's so many pages. Of the question's already been answered please let me know. The OB Ripper sounds just perfect for me..

Also, any insight on how to evaluate the strain effect when the breeder only says "strong medicinal properties"? Is checking out the parents some indicator, and how do I know what dominance is represented in the seed?

Thanks ahead of time.

I don't think OB ripper is around anymore ive grown ocean beach OG (actually just harvested 2 weeks ago and I have some smokable buds right now) and it tastes minty and chocolatey with a skunky undertone. Good luck with your search.

It's all about the money to some gardeners, once they get it they will still want more. Others like the guy for gorilla glue #4 are more about the community and helping others, big difference you can tell. I would say I don't believe shit anyone tells me at all, don't believe any cut you get until you finish it out and then you know what you got, all the speculation is just that, speculation, None of these people provide facts or back up wild claims.

OB Ripper is long gone bro. That's one thing I wish Gage would do is rerelease some of the old strains. There's a lot of crosses I would love to get. There a lot of people who f2 the gear so somebody may be able to gift you some crosses that are long gone. Hope u find something that appeals to you
