I am mixed in agreement with you on this. But I am of open mind and respectful to your knowledge.I kinda have to disagree with GSC pollen not being very viable. I think it is very viable since every major pheno is used in reversed R1 crosses. I think you just have to run her best as possible to limit many seeds it any at all. I've seen great growers grow the many cuts and still get seeds. They self themselves pretty easily which is why there are so many pheno of it out there. Everyone is finding bag seed and popping them and some are turning to be stellar phenos lots not so. I think it all depends on the cut, pheno of a cross plus how much you smoke and the person really as to how he high would be. Every person is different so just cus we both smoke a 1/4 doesn't mean it will affect us both the same. I think it's just all around good smoke. The Platinum Delights pheno I run is pretty good and doesn't build up too bad I thinks it fits whatever mood your in at the time when smoking. Grown DHN Platinum but would like to get my hands on the Forum cut.
So my knowledge of the viability of viability of the pollen is this....
This happened on both what I consider pure cookie, and bodhi strange love(forum cut).
Around week 4 it gets balls on the lower stalk branch junction, and on some lower buds near there. These are the only viable pollen source. And they don't make many seeds. Also not a strain that has hairs for very long, and at week 4ish there aren't many pistals.
Also seeds don't mature easily, and germinate well. Not bad, but usually not 100%.
What I see is a lot of breeders trying to make s1,r1, and hybrids. So I think you might be seeing this as it is viable pollen, but unless you try to breed her, then you will understand.
All the cookies and crosses seem to be sold out almost as soon as they drop, especially if they are real deal.
Might be because they just don't have many packs on their drops?
But I tried soooo hard to get some good cookie, samosas, scooby snacks, Polynesian cookies......practically impossible!
The later bananas that show up have no viability.
Luckily it cloned well and is pretty hardy.
I guess if I ran a whole room of cookies and didn't pick any balls off, I would have a few dozen packs of seeds.
