Hey man, some people don't like Star Wars, Apple or even GSC - it doesn't necessarily mean that they are less intelligent, perceptive or even worth listening too...
I've smoked some damn fine cookies, but the grower really has to nail it for it to be special.
I'd put this one down to your biochemistry, could be the chemotype just doesn't hit the neural sweet spot you're used to. For me, Green Crack and anything with Island sweet skunk simply will not get me high, period.
I agree about that cherry pie though, really impressed with that strain!
Minitiger thanks for sharing you're grow,
It looks great respect ! If you ever try to run gsc again ,
I difently would run PCG GSC (ht cup winner) !
Danks for sharing this :happy:
Props for growing your own...growing is not easy, and the risk that comes with growing is getting higher and higher, especially having a family and growing, I mean if you want to grow high grade herb plan on sacrificing damn near everything....so many factors in life competing for the number one spot, wife, children, career, freedom, friends, patients, saftey...the list goes on man.Oh, I've never grown GSC, only smoked it. Why grow it when I can go to any dispensary in California and grab some? Haha! I've got four strains going now, none of which I've seen in any dispensaries (except for the Apollo 11, but I haven't seen that around in a loooooong time). I feel like if I'm gonna take the time to grow my own, I want to grow what I can't get everywhere. Ya know?
I've transcended my brotha, involuntary triggers of the pineal gland...just talking shit ...but for realz, it's because I've realized that for my fantasy to continue being a fantasy my dreams must not come true, ya dig? So far I have had dreams and fantasies and one FantaDream...to keep it that way I have to stop sacrificing so much for the plant...I've decided not to have my cake and eat it too...I never want to become that cannasnobaseur ya know...who knows what the future beholds but as for me I will no longer put the ridiculous expectations on this miraculous plant... maybe one day hiking I'll run into a wild ruderalis and cure it in the shade and burn it while dancing around downwind hoping for a channel change hahaha.......natural high is the best high my nug, you following me here....yet peace and pineal greaseOh, yeah, man, I know "the sizzle is louder than the steak." I think that that typically goes for pretty much everything in this world, not just weed. I never believe the hype. I have a brain and an opinion haha, ya know? Not gonna believe something's good just because everybody says it is.
Definitely finding out that growing good herb takes a lot of work. I actually started out with eighteen seeds, thinking that I'd maybe hopefully get nine females. Got fourteen, thought I'd somehow make room for all of them and finally just decided that fourteen would be too much work, especially since this is my first run in twenty years (and back then it was all ebb and flow hydro bullshit; organics is a whole 'nother thing haha). So I killed five females, which was extremely painful haha. But probably the best thing to do, if for no other reason than those nine have totally taken over the tent.
Luckily, I don't have a wife. Just a girlfriend who doesn't even smoke, but she's super-chill and totally cool with me doing what I love. Plus, she's the one with the career (I don't have what one would call a "career," although I do have a job that I have have to get up at 530am for) so she's usually asleep by eleven, which is when I go to work in the room. No kids, thank gawd. And not too many friends, either haha. Or not since I moved to the Valley, anyway hahaha!!! So I've got the time. It's more a matter of me getting my tired and lazy-ass off the couch at 10pm and doing what needs to be done. Another reason I'm glad there's only nine plants instead of fourteen.
But I don't understand something. Why exactly is it that you're quitting smoking? Because you can't grow your own right now? Because you're unhappy with the quality of dispensary weed (which is the reason I started growing)? Because you feel like you smoke too much? Your smoking is affecting your family/life/career? I'm not clear on why you're quitting. Obviously haha.
Only if that steak is from Grass fed cow thousands of miles away from commercial grown crops of any kind ha haAlso, I think the expression is,"You don't sell the steak; you sell the sizzle."
I meant to say then don't eat the SIZZLE my nizzle lolOnly if that steak is from Grass fed cow thousands of miles away from commercial grown crops of any kind ha ha

Agreed ;^}Um... Okay... I was just saying that I don't really like Girl Scout Cookies.
I know a lot of people that feel the same,Yep. I said it. I dunno how this strain got so popular, but it's just okay. And I know multiple heads who feel the same way. Nothing to write home about. I've smoked probably four dozen different batches of this from who knows how many growers, but it's always the same: smells like an empty box of "Thin Mints" smells (I dunno about you, but stale minty cardboard ain't what I'm looking for in my meds), tastes a little bit better and the high is just, like, whatever.... It does nothing for me, except motivate me to smoke something good.
I've tried and tried to figure out what it is that people think is so great about it, but for me, there's nothing there. Believe me, I wanted to find out what all the hype was about, I wanted to love it, but it just seems like another example of someone somehow hyping a strain that isn't really all that great. And I'm not even knocking the breeders, because I looooooove Cherry Pie. I'd take that over GSC every time. Cherry Pie has it all: looks, unbelievable nose, tastes fucking ridiculous and a really kick-ass high, too. And compare GSC to really stellar strains like Sour Diesel, Goji, Mango Haze, Skywalker OG (or Larry and Tahoe), SSH, Stevie Wonder (which is my current "favorite strain"). Go back even further to Neville's Haze or a real Chem or Power Plant or Durban Poison or whatever... GSC is absolutely forgettable. The only reason I even remember it is because everybody keeps talking about it and it's in every dispensary in California. I still look at the jars, thinking,"Maybe this'll be the time...." and I still go,"Eh... Can I take a look at that Ancient OG, please?"
Just wanted to speak my mind. GSC is an average strain, at best. Been wanting to talk about this for a while and I'm sure there'll be plenty of hating. If someone can enlighten me and tell me why it's so great, I'm all ears. But after hundreds of bowls/j's of this, I'm just like,"Ok, now let's smoke something good...."
iv never had a smoke at legit cookie cut just forum s1 & although i was really dissappointed with the yeild the quality was definetly there.it tasted like some really amazing really sweet hashish.as drewski says i beleive gsc does better in a cross.iv got some animal cookie leaning plants from just blazin and they HAMMER the s1 in yeild,density,vigor & smell.theyr not done yet so cant say how they smoke yet.Yep.

Hey man is that yer first run with some justblazen gear? I have one a the highoctane fire alien crosses going.iv never had a smoke at legit cookie cut just forum s1 & although i was really dissappointed with the yeild the quality was definetly there.it tasted like some really amazing really sweet hashish.as drewski says i beleive gsc does better in a cross.iv got some animal cookie leaning plants from just blazin and they HAMMER the s1 in yeild,density,vigor & smell.theyr not done yet so cant say how they smoke yet.
BD is a special gal and usually she's not taken to full finish. A good number of people I know who aren't regular smokers can get a really bad paranoid high from BD due to this.Blue Dream's another one that I just don't "get."
