Thank you so much for the offer! I may take you up on it if we run short of community cuts to run.
I expect to run 18 cuts from across the country together in a grand tour.
I hope to kick off in a couple months.
Thanks again.

Day 63 Bloom Update
Unit:
Here we are at the end. And what a glorious end! I’ll do my best to show you around.
Data:
The plants have stopped eating and I have halved the res to bring the ppm to around 200. No terps needed for a seed run.
Side:
Center:
Skunk Berry
I really love the color contrast with our wonderfully stenchly Skunk Berry.
Back Side View
Still love the view from here with waves of buds.
Platinum Cake
So much cake on the cake!
Slapz
Sparkling spike of doom!
Gran Dawgy Purps
She emits vapors. The fumes make your mouth and your eyes water.
Sherb Cream Pie
Just a great purple budded plant with a mentholated floral perfume.
Here’s a video walk through where I go through all the plants at finish.
(433) Day 63 Bloom - 18 Strain Cross to Super Boof - YouTube
A test snip has confirmed that we have fully formed mature seeds. However, they are pretty scarce. Looks like 1-2 per medium bud. This is plenty for our experiments, but not many for distribution.
So I would say we got mixed results overall for the experiment. I do love growing all these strains together, but I would like fully seeds buds or maxed out centerfold girls. In the end we got just a little of both.
Thanks everyone for following along. Look for future pheno hunts of these precious girls.
As always, your comments and questions are welcome.

I’m breeding with Blue Limonene and Pineapple Breeze. I’ve seen some Blue Limonene, its good. I haven’t seen Pineapple Breeze yet, but I’m confident it will be good based on what I hear and Caribbean Cookies was really good. The other parent, Guava Tart, I’m assuming the Guava is the nickname for Gelato 25. PCG also used the Guava Tart in their Street Tarts seeds. I picked these two cuts mostly based on the terps and flavor profile that should work well with my male. sardinebags I’m super interested in your analysis, you have a lot of fire cuts there.
Thanks als_weed for this thread.

Intense. 
I have a cut of Tropicana Cookies, I like it a lot, but Caribbean Cookies I think is better, those two strains have some similarities, but Caribbean Cookies looks better and had a more complex terp profile. I’m also breeding with some older stuff that’s more nostalgia and not as new as Blue Limonene and Pineapple Breeze.
oh dude, thanks for the context. i couldnt find much info on Pineapple Breeze other than the cool name. The blue limonene cut though i had to hunt for. I saw PCG post a grandiflora collaboration announcement but of course i wasnt keeping up to date with their twitter drops and missed the first two drops @ my dispensary. hopefully she turns out well
Keep us posted on your breeding projects i think either of those two cuts would be a great backbone for some fire beans in the cookies space
EDIT: never had the opportunity to grow Caribbean Cookies but i have sampled some commercial stuff. i liked it quite a bit, they dont seem to distribute that cut down here these days

Yeah Grandiflora’s Blue Limonene was developed quite a bit of time before PCG got it. I like PCG and they test their cuts for HPLVD.
Lots of cookies in those two cuts, especially Pineapple Breeze. My male doesn’t have any cookies so I should get some hybrid vigor. Cookies crosses are usually high quality flower. Yield is usually not great and some breeders don’t work on silencing the cookies herm trait, but all in all, many of the best crosses today have cookies in them.
A few minutes ago I was just smelling a plant in week 3 of flower that is 1/4 forum cut cookies and it reminds me that cookies has nice terps, but they usually aren’t the loudest. The cookies needs to be worked and selected for more flavor and loud aroma. The cookies aroma is that nice baked dessert inbetween gas and sweetness, but nothing amazing. Cookies has the nice thick mouth coat on the smoke, but I’ve seen cookies crosses continue to improve on the gsc forum cut.
ya its fair to say that cookies terps can be a bit muted. there is a bunch of cookies derivatives out there now that are pretty funky though. the big clone distributors seem to value consistency over loud smell, if you branch off the “commodity” cookies cuts youll probably find something you like.
Thats kinda what drew me to @als_weed sweep here. He is going to get a TON of variation in a small footprint. Ive done a few reversal projects now, enough to know its a ton of work to get all those cuts ready at the same time, same maturity level. Its these small breeder projects that i think well start finding more interesting cookies terp profiles. Ive been trying to find a super lemony cut as well as get some piney terps in rotation.
