@D619, You're new around here, and missed our grows with the Platinum Cookies, a few months back. AJ, and I, both grew out Dark Heart Nursery's cut of GSC. The conclusion was that the their cut was in fact Platinum Cookies, based on our experience growing it, and how that compared to all of the other available grows we could find.Here's the link to the thread with pics and info of Buds n Roses Platinum Cookies https://www.icmag.com/ic//showthread.php?t=299640

Karma you killed it mines was frosty as hell but I didn't get the swell like you but mines wasn't as big as yours once flowered out. I can say ours is close to OGKB tho cus ever since I've been growing Platinum Delights the pheno I have looks exactly like that BnR cut except the buds have a slightly different structure. The dad makes small bud phenos sometime but I haven't really pushed her either all small plant grows but this next run will be big
Have no way of getting the seeds tho unless you know somebody who stays in Hawaii. Sucks cus they got some nice seed crosses and some fems I would try
Okay, it's done, my GSC was harvested last night. Now that it's over, I'm taking the time to reflect on my experience, and try to help the community. In my opinion, Dark Heart Nursery's cut of GSC, is indeed Platinum Cookies. It yields too well to be the Forum cut, and pretty much looks like a dead ringer for Platinum, according to the pics I've seen on the web. What does everyone think?

I never knew there was two cuts of it floating around tho. I thought the one we have was the original till D619 said something about the cup winning Platinum Cookies cut so I had to go find info about it and sure enough that cut isn't what we have. You can see the difference in the cuts from the pics I posted a few back. It is indeed the Platinum GSC cut tho just DHN's cut and not the cup winning one Bud n Roses has. I still love our cut tho cus it's pure fire but she's straight connoisseur type flowers not something for mass production. I wish we could find out actually where DHN sourced the cut from but after finding the info on that other cut its def either a nice pheno of a cross of OGKB or it's a s1 pheno
So, is the juice worth the squeeze all things considered? I've never so much as puffed on any cookie variety out there, but the super slow veg time kinda puts me off. Don't see how it would work in my perpetual garden??
Have had DHNs platinum cut. I love it. I really love it. The smell and taste are so unique.
We'll have to see how it goes as D619 puts his girls into flower, then more of the mystery will be solved. I was only pointing out that I see no physical difference in the DHN Platinum Cookies clone pic I posted and the cut he was told was OGKB. Do you?
She takes forever to root, and is the slowest vegging plant ever, but the end product is quite remarkable. If you've got a chance to try her, I'd recommend giving her a go, just make sure you plan ahead for the extended veg time.
She was in a 50/50 mix of Oceans Forest, and Roots Organic, but even that seemed too hot for her though. Yes, she's definitely sensitive to stress, so topping will slow her down, as will stripping her for clones. Still, the end result is amazing.
Very hard to tell any difference. Maybe my eyes are fooling me but I think the leaves may be a lil more narrow/pointy but I'm sure it's playing tricks on me cus I keep looking at the pics lol. Just like you said only way we gonna know is until we see the buds. I would like to see someone have the real deal but the DHN Platinum is no slouch.
I'm glad you see the same thing I do, cause like you said, hard to tell any difference between them.
That's ridiculous, well , hopefully the dhn platinum is the ogkb , if not , I'll be happy with her since the ogkb is either non existent or unattainable.
Wow , I hope thats what it is , as you know I'm a Grape ape fan also. Keep us posted on the growth rate and traits u pick up.
Glad you was able to come through and show your clone only strains in your garden. The Ogre Kush looks so damn good would love to have that cut. Anything with Bubba in it is good to me but I'm sure it's something damn good with the Master Kush crossed to it. Crazy terps I bet can't wait to see more of itakhiymjames suggested I come over here with a couple of strains...
Here's a cut of Ogre Kush in veg, ignore the giant air compressor that I shuffled into a corner and then forgot about until I was putting plants into the room. Oooops lol. She's very stretchy and lanky. Turning into a quicker veg than GG#4.
And here's a pic - not very good, sorry I gotta take down my DSLR into my flower room - of a sort of sad (I took it in from someone else) Fire OG in flower ~around 20 days I think (I don't have my calendar on me atm).
