I gotta disagree with elev8.I ran some gem testers for the guy that owns it,a guy called Matt.i told him before he even sent em that I would be reporting the results with 100% honesty.he sent 10 x fem sherbet x cookies and some regs strains.the regs weren't too bad but the sherbet cookies were terrible.sherbet itself is a cookie cross so the sherb cookies were supposed to be 75% cookies.if there's one strain I know and that has easy to recognise traits it's cookies.every cookie strain i,v ever had that has even had a small percentage of cookies in the lineage has expressed some cookie traits.the elev8 sherbet cookie had zero cookie too it never mind 75% cookie.not a single cookie trait.no cookie leaves no cooky structure no cookie smell no cookie nugs no cookie colour no cookie taste.
Cookies is a not too tall, but leggy structure with wide gnarly dark green leaves,with super frosty,fairly small but pure solid tastey as fuck super dank nugs.the elev8 sherb cookies was tall super vigorous with light green thin fingered leaves with big fluffy not very resinous pretty weak chicken dinner type nugs that didn't have strong terps or strong high.basically it was like a complete OPPOSITE of a cooky strain. I told the guy Matt this and I even gave him an out by asking him if it's possible he got the beans mixed up or a cut mixed up but he said no and even though I told him the beans wernt cookies he put em up for sale anyway.and it's worth noting,just as I was a couple weeks after I popped em it came out the guy had been selling fake gg4 s1 beans.i wouldn't recommend em to anyone.the regs were ok though but nothing special.
I've seen some negative reports on elev8 on other forums as well. I had thought about trying his GG4 as he was the only one who had them at the time but my research turned up quite a few horror stories. Since then i've never given them a second thought.
I do have a question about cookies though. Are they in any way hermie prone? I found a couple naners late in flowering but plucked them off so they didn't do any damage. They may have been sterile anyhow so i'm not sure if it would have mattered. Just curious. I grew out cookies n cream by exotic genetix. I've got another one going now from the same mother so i'll see if it happens again. I've done some searching online and have found a few people speak of it as a possible issue but nothing concrete. Just curious.
