You run water extracts or have you jumped on the tane train?
Girl Scout Cookies, Cali Connection, or BC Bud Depot?

This is pretty much exact what i experienced form my GSC from CConnect. It destroyed half my garden with seeds and now iv got a huge amount if material that I will be running tane trough tomorrow to try and salvage what's left of my seeded garden. I was so surprised that 4 hermie plants could do so much damage, I lost an additional 8 pants to seeding that were not even touching the gsc's. I think the seed are worthless though because they came from such aggressively hermit GSC plants and the last thing I want to do is let another herm sneak into my flower room.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 Phantom Cookies. I WAS planning to crack a few beans for a test grow this winter, but not sure now.
I'm trying to see the bright side as it will be my first opportunity to make nug run bho. But there's no way i'll get enough oil to make up for the financial hit I took by losing my entire room to the seeds form those hermit bitches.
Initially when I took down the GSC plants I wants that pissed because the buds looked so good, but now that I have finished harvesting the room and have come up with litteraly handfuls of seeds I'm pretty pressed to never grow another calli connection plant again. It's too bad they didn't do a little more testing to figure out the hermie problems before they released these genetics, but I guess they were blinded by greed for the opportunity to be the first ones to market with these genetics that were blowing up so fast.
i mentioned it before but calli com isn't selling these in their site which meds me to believe they either gave up in them entirely or they are back in the lab trying to fix the hermie problem.

If your buddy wants hermie cookie seeds I have hand fulls of them, seriously might have more than a 1000 seeds from my entire crop getting pollinated.
Not sure if you guys have heard about how James at loud seeds got strapped but they had a male hide out and flower an entire room and they decided to start a seed company. But when you have some sexually stupid Hermes bean out your room, youv just got a bunch of garbage! Lol

I can't say I don't wanna say this because I do...
I told you guys at the beginning the GSC was hermie prone. Sorry you guys got infested with seeds... but you could get some great buds from those seeds

.But realistically isnt it bad to use hermie seeds? It would pass on that undesirable trait, and wouldnt you have to sort through hundreds of plants to find one decent one?I can't say I don't wanna say this because I do...

I have this great plushberry that got totlaly polinated by the cookies, and that might be a nice cross actually, but I dont want any more pollen in my room. esspecially since this fiasco cost me 8 plants and about 2LBs of smoke

What do you preffer for your own smoke? What determines when you make what?
I made water hash for about a year before I started making BHO, and since I started making BHO I havent gone back, so its hard for me to compare. I ahve never made dry sift, but I do have a keef collection I dip into now and then form my grinder, not sure if thats the same though.
Im running my seeded buds tonight, Ill put up a thread in extracts if any of you are interested in following my process. Just thought since I was doing my first nug run, it might be fun to put it up online for my internet friends to see. And, Id like to get some feedback form fellow extraction artists to see what they think of my process, Im always opent to a critique, as I am pretty much self tough on the BHO technique I use.

I ran BCBD's GSC and got 3 different phenos none of which I thought were anything like the forum GSC or any other GSC I have tried. The nuggs came out nice and frosty with scents ranging from pineapple to hashy kush. I still have 3 seeds from the pack that i'll pop eventually but i'n not in a hurry. I'll stick with my RD gear for now

great pics, thanks for posting. I can see some resemblance in what you got and what I had, but no very much. mostly jsut that theya re both green with no purple, which is what I keep seeing in potures and am wonderins wyhy I am not seeing it when real people actually post their grow pics. I have a feeling the story behind BCBD and Calli Con with this strain is similar as far as wantign to get it on teh street asap, not doing the proper testing, and mabe not even getting a cut that they used for breeding that was even close to the real deal.
I made some oil out of all my material I had left over form my cookie extravaganza and here is a pic. more to come when its finished purging. Im also goign to do an extraciotion post on how I did this if anyone who doesnt run a lot of BHO is currious how to make wax. Or shatter, havent decided on how I want this to end up, but it smells pretty delicious and looks like gold. probably the best oil Iv ever made. Shouldnt say that too soun since its not finished, but it looks promising, and the hard part is over.

Im not sure about michigan, but tane is pricey as hell up here in AK. like $10 a can for vector.
. starting to get some more high quality tane up here as people selling it realize what its being used for, but its still 4 times as expensive as it is in teh states. and...its fucking illegal to ship the shit up here, so I gotta go down to seattle or something and send my self a dozen cases and just be done with it. lol

as for my cannaventure cookies i had 3 phenos to run. one is looking like a lanky og, one is looking like a nice compact plant maybe a cookies pheno, then a tall one with nice branching looking like a nice cross of the 2 fore mentioned. excited!
edit: i have 3 more plants to run ,not phenos. looks like i got altogether 6 plants and 6 phenos not including males lol,but seriously 6 phenos. a menthol durban og not too tall not too short, a lime one same height, a super short stocky chem og funk one, a super tall lanky lemon og one, a tall well structured cookies? one, and a short maybe another cookies? mint/menthol one atm, i cant wait to smoke the last 3 and rerun the 1st 3. so far the 1st 3 are worth it and will need 2nd n 3rd runs to figure which get phased out and which ill breed with f2s or bx1 2 3... keep it dank!

keep it dank!Went out today and picked up 4 clones from the local collective. 1 Supposed legitimate GSC it is known to be in my area... 1 LVPurpleKush 1 Dutch Treat 1 Sweet Island skunk. Also running a Pineapple Express from seed and 4 Bagseed all under a 600w HPS Dual Spec in coco running CannaA+B . I guess we'll see how my cut turns out. She's real ugly right now since transplant & wasn't taken good care of before pics soon to come.

If it's legit Dutch Treat, a friend of mine said that was the best plant she ever grew.She said you never built up a tolerance, and never got pest, mildew or mold while growing. She lived in Hawaii and grew indoors, difficult to do from what I hear.
