I'm thinking it's more of the growers and not the genetics.
Most platinums are PGR Packs hence why there is no taste/terps.
I could be wrong but it's probably the PGR x Platinum combo that is giving it a bad name?
Anybody else got more feed back on their platinum line? I wanted to snag a platinum cross for my collection but now I'm second guessing.
Recently got their Slurricane IX w/ Platinum GG freebies and a half pack of Blue Java for Cyber Monday.
I can't find any feedback on Blue Java but I'm hoping it gives out blue hues like in the picture.
The platinum is a good plant to use in breeding as it adds a lot but it’s not the best plant to use as some crosses it can take away from the terps and they can be weaker than the parent used to breed with but that’s not always the case. Platinum adds a load of frost and makes anything it touches pretty much mould resistant which is always a nice bonus to have
Best strains that have platinum in would be the platinum kush breath/remix, platinum kush mints, platinum gsc, and their platinum punch from what I can tell but there’s probably some others that are just as good too. I Havnt done those myself but I do have a couple pkbr on right now and I did just finish up a single platinum zooks a few weeks ago. The plat zooks does stink and is really skunky and the buds look amazing, it’s a nice smoke too obviously. but I don’t think it’s anywhere near as stinky as the zookies is meant to be but I’ve never had or done zookies on its own so don’t know for sure. The banana cake I harvested was considerably stinkier tho but similar smells, didn’t have quit the same bag appeal as the plat zooks does tho.
if you want to add a platinum cross to your collection go for either platinum kush breath as that’s their best strain it seems or platinum punch as the direct platinum crosses. It seems you can’t go wrong with either depending what you want/prefer (fruity or skunky funk). Or a cross that includes platinum but not a direct cross so say a cross of platinum kush mints like titanimal or slurmint or something as you should get the benefits of the platinums extra frost and mould resistants without it effecting they terpenes too much, in theory anyway.
oh I just want to add that for the blue Java you will probably not find any grows or much info on as that is pretty much a brand new strain only released a few weeks ago along with a load of other jelly breath crosses like head locc, jellylicous etc etc. I got a pack too tho.
