Iv seen the swerve pie guy vid, its pretty hilarious, but if you get past the jokes there is some good cookie lore info in there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eb2ghQy4O_8
Girl Scout Cookies, Cali Connection, or BC Bud Depot?

I like this, but after watching the video and some other pie guy footage he claims that the "F1" was an OG cut that someone sent to Florida from Cali and it was the only clone that survived the trip, and was thus named the F1 as in the only 1 that survived the journey and F for Florida. Which would explain the OG genetics behind the strain as well if this was true. so, I would take out the skunk in your equation and add in OG(pie guy's cut, or friends cut that they sent to FL). Possibly a cherry flavored OG that brought out the cherry in the cherry pie?
It also makes sence for these guys to not share their genetics, or secrets to their genetics because the story and the mystic is a lot more interesting than just telling everyone that its an OG cross. Instead everyone wants to try it because its "cookies".
Yeah I saw that video. Cali connect got pissy and kicked him out of the booth lol. Hug I think you're getting the F1 mixed up. In the berner video pie guy does the "math equation" and says its f1xdurb + flo-rida kush = cookies. Flo rida kush is the og cut that they got. Im sure F1 is completely different genetics maybe not though?

ah ha, that makes more sense now
. thanks for clearing that up. Im glad this thread has turned into the thread for cookie lore, lol. we need to collectively do what we can as rollitupers to uncover the mystery and put it on the internet for everyone to see 
and why cant these guys do a normal cross with some normal genetics that teh rest of us can get our hands on like normal breeders, lol

My cannaventure flaming cookies #2 is awesome. At 20 days cure the menthol has faded some but still the loudest flavor. But an earth and lemon has come in on undertones. Fucking awesome! And shit is soooo fucking sticky!!!

The cookies cut I have is amazing smoke, and ready at 55 days but the yield sucks due to the legginess. I crossed my cookies cut with LA Confidential at the beginning of the year, and I'm growing four of those offspring now, and ready to throw into flower in a week or so. I'm hoping for a winner male (and a winner female too of course) to use as a stud to cross back to my parent cookie cut. The goal is the same quality smoke on a shorter plant that yields better.
Money. That is why they won't lol. All the hype around the strain just makes it more and more valuable. I think I am going to try my hand at the cut I have access to and see if its legit. If not I'll grow a couple out and cross em with whatever strain has what its lacking and see how it turns out.ah ha, that makes more sense now

Pics or GTFO! lol, JK of course, sounds fucking rad! please keep this thread in the loop on your project! legginess is hard to cure, its probably one of the biggest problems I run into growing hybrid crosses from seed. Of course the nice stocky producers are out there, but i seem to find more of the leggie thin plants when I crack a pack of beans. It could be the genetics, I have been growing a lot of TGA gear the last 6 months, and thought I have grown teh best buds of my life I have been doing so at a production loss of about 30% compared to running a local heavy producing citral strain that I used for a year prior to phasing it out for room on my medi card for more experimental genetics. Kind of regretting it now, but I have learned a lot the last 6 months and especially the last 4 weeks with having to deal with the fallout from the hermie bitches I was growing form my cookie crop.
but whats the point of gardening if you always get the same boring shit. The TGA shit is on the way out though and Im full up with Gage green testers. Platinum OG and Purp Alien OG to the rescue. I hope Iv got some producers in the mnix somewhere, pretty stoked after seeing the thick ass indica leaves the Purp Alien is putting on. my thread for it is here, https://gagegreen.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=2410.
What TGA strains have you ran hug? A buddy of mine was extremely interested in some of their seeds. How did they turn out overall?

Ace of spades is goodshit
You think so? I had a half of it awhile back. It wasn't so hot. Could've been the grower though as well.

iv read that some people dont get potent phenos and im sure it happens, but the hash made from my plant was also rediculous!

Right on. I'll try to post some pics up soon. LA Con is a pure Indica, so we'll see what comes up in this initial cross.. I'm just a few weeks into flowering a small Purp Alien OG for the first time tight now.

Well, I harvested my 3 GSCs (Cali Conn) 2-3 weeks ago. I posted up some pics of them in a couple entries of this thread back in early to mid summer. Anyway, Too bad I fell asleep at the wheel and quit with the vigilant HERMIE Patrol about 3 months into the grow, 
because at harvest I found evidence of TESTICLES... and moderate seeding through all three GSC plants.
This WAS a test grow, and as such I had NO expectations other than to prove or disprove what it says on the tin. I DID pollinate a couple selected branches on each GSC with a 'Chocolate Trip' (Dutch Flowers) hybrid. It'll be near impossible to pick those seeds out now, other than there seem to be two different sizes/colors of seed.
I expected quite poor yields, but not necessarily a hermie issue. Despite it all, I'm not too terribly upset about how this affected my GSC harvest. It was never meant for my patients, only for me. And even being seeded, the smoke is dank and potent. I've been a chronic toker for the last 30+ years, starting with my 'wake and bake' ritual with morning coffee. But this GSC cuts through ANYTHING that's come before it, and keeps me elevated for some hours. Only about 2-weeks of cure, and taste on the inhale is earthy and rich, while something akin to 'chocolate mint/menthol' dominates over skunk-lemony-og on exhale.
But what I AM upset about is -- a Gorilla Grape (original cut, Outlaw Genetics) and big Larry OG that were next to my GSCs ended up getting seeded. LOTS of GSC-fathered seeds from the big Larry OG, and a medium amount from the Gorilla Grape.
I'll probably do a seed germ test this winter on them, just to KNOW viability ratio. Who knows, maybe this will be one of those 'make lemonade out of lemons' situations and some fire will be lurking amongst these unplanned/unwanted seeds. The female to male ratio should be fairly high, that's for sure.
I have a couple packs of Ken's Plantinum Cookies. I WAS planning to crack a few beans for a test grow this winter, but not sure now.

Yeah, almost an elbow between the three plants - 404 gm. of dried (including the seeds, lol), consistently small buds. I gave a couple zips to my neighbor along with a few other varieties as complaint prevention/insurance, and one zip to a grower buddy who will likely save every seed he finds in it. hehe

Lettie, low producing, slightly, unstable, but the buds I have gotten off ever strain I have grown from them have been the tastiest and most wonderful smelling and looking buds I have ever grown.
The first strain I grew from tga was a Jack the Ripper a friend gave me and it was the first really good weed I ever grew. Not because I used some special technique to make it any different than the local garbage hand me down strain that I was growing at the time, it just blew everything I had ever touched out if the water. Heavy trich development with sweat pungent aroma and nicely shaped half way fence bud knots. The first round of the JTR I grew even grew to be a pretty large plant and produced a fair sixpence harvest compared to my other genetics I was running. The clone that I had taken from this plant and subsequently run after the initial plant stil maintained the wonderful odor and beautiful bud development and smell, but sever,eh lacked i weight production.
Since then I grew, from seed, plush berry, Chernobyl, cheese quake, and querkle, all wi the same results as my original JTR. Average production from the initial seed, but total fail production when grown from clone, I'd Blair my self somehow but I was sima,taniousky running other genetics in the same room and had no problems with them.
The tga gear I have grown is still the most beautiful buds I have fringe with the most wonderful range of sweat and pungent aromatics, but I catpnt afford to grow stringy plants that don't out in weight. If you want to see pics of some of these tga plants go to kyninstagram @hugaddiction,
as for your buddy, I don't want to discourage him from giving them a try. I still grow the plush berry and its the best herb I have around. It all goes to my oersonal stash though because there isn't enough to go around. If I were going to pick a strain format hem right now to grow I would pick up the conspiracy kush, that looks amazing, and I have heard good things in regards to most of the new lineup they are producing. Space queen would be another one I would recommend, but have not grown. Start with one and see where it goes from there. If I had never grown my tga stuff I would never have know what it was like to grow really tasty great smelling herb, and for that I. Great full, but for me it's time to move in and grow plants that cam pack on the weight and produce the beauty of a great bud.

I have an unopened pack of is I'm my personal seed bank, but not sure ill crack it anytime soon with all the other shit I am working on. The pics I have seen if it look like its got son purple or almost black coloring towards the end of flower, ISPs that pretty accurate, or am i just seeing some good pics firm a lucky pheno?
