Seed makers will say anything to manipulate a situatuon
Not saying what he says is a lie but i think the reason why bc the bar is set so high now with ogs
Maybe in the 90s when it was rare a s1 would have been viewed better bc it was still new in a sense so anything similar to the mom would be standout .. most ogs came from bagseed or selfed other half is random shit no one knows for sure mixed with something
I look at growing like cooking bc one chef says the meal isnt possible doesnt mean another chef cant make it
It is well known that GSC has hermaphroditic potential.
And by selfing such a strain can expose recessive genes.
Sure he may be saying this to discourage, but the reality, if you growing Dosido or Wedding Cake, or any cookie cross, you gonna get some herms.
I have run cookie for a while, and made some stellar crosses, but herms will appear!
I would never sell seeds of that strain without some kind of disclaimer.
Though, if you know where and how she potentially herms from, and when she will do it, you can pick them off and never get seeds.
My experiences have been, around week 4 some balls can appear on the lower stem/branch junction. They will not come back once plucked off. Then again as she approaches weeks 9 and 10 she might throw out some nanners. They are usually not the most viable pollen.
That said......I love the cookie and her crosses, bit you have to be honest about the strain.
