Berner was simply a budtender and a bartender who hasn’t bred even a single cross under his brand or helped others breed a strain under brands who collaborated with him. He didn’t pay his dues, he is just a middleman who doesn’t breed or grow and raps poorly for millennials to idolize and defend while he gladly gets every dime he can from them.
He’s been sued 2-3x just this year in 2023, there’s a reason as nice of a human being that Bodhi is, even he couldn’t even stick around with Berner.
For example, Bodhi has more than paid his dues beyond what Berner could dream of achieving and it wasn’t done through chasing fame and dollars.

Sad cuz most are probably twice my age almost

The truly sad thing is how many people want to act like they need to make others feel badly about their age just based on different opinions over a company.
These are facts I’m stating, and asking you where you stand since you seemed so emotional on your responses this is not “hate” but take it as you see fit, but you can also take the intense negativity that isn’t fact based towards others who disagree somewhere else as that isn’t what Overgrow is about buddy.
And yes this post is long and I’m sure I’ll get some TLDR responses but if you’re gonna hate on all these supposed Berner haters then where does the hate end?
It’s far easier to be kind than to join a pissing contest with a chip on your shoulder if anyone disagrees.
Flagging on here has kind of become the new spiteful little jab some people around here lately use when they see or hear something that offends them or they disagree with mostly the not agreeing part.Sometimes they have a little Melty.
What does this even mean? You’re being real weird and incoherent here, what is your point @shade ?
And yeah I would throw rocks at the king, fuck the throne but it sounds like you have Berner on a golden pedestal.
@GCBudz@CapnCannabis i didn’t flag those posts but I would have if I hadn’t logged off. Flagging is part of moderated forums, stop whining about it if you want a place that’s not a free for all mess. I flag posts here every day, often multiple times a day. That’s just part of being on a forum. Making fun of people for flagging posts for moderator attention is just a way of saying you don’t want to be moderated. But that’s not what this site is.
Lol ya sure cookies has durban in it. Too funny, there’s nothing durban about it. I’ve grown durbans and durban hybrids, and it’s a recognizable turpinoline smell like trainwreck. All crosses have had it too usually with anise smells too. Not to mention it’s got an older look to it, not picture porn looking. I’m positive it’s a bagseed.
I’ve grown a few cookies too over the years, and all were similar. Great bag appeal, descent smell, crap yield, 1 hour high. The best one I grew was mandarin cookies, it actually had some funk to it. Just a shame bc you could show people a cookies bud and nevilles haze bud, and 99 out of 100 would want to buy the cookies. Probably why alot if these growers have to run it bc that’s what sells.
It is rather Machiavellian to say the ends justify the means isn’t it? We are not princes. Using any methods to achieve success may bring money and power, but it doesn’t always bring respect. Many people will be resentful.
i was just mentioning the flag wars that go on wasnt particularly being aimed at you so Poor communication on my end ill own up to that one if not well if the shoe fits then wear it and lace it all the way up
I had a legit SCREAMING match over this recently, with someone who is merely a consumer and not a grower.
Basically his assertion was that Cookies brand has led to the hermaphroditism of all its modern polyhybrids that contain Cookies parentage. … what he doesn’t seem to understand, is that almost every landrace strain exhibits hermaphroditic tendencies because it’s part of the plant’s ability to regrow itself . I tried to explain to him that cannabis cultivars need work in order to NOT express herming, and not the opposite.
Almost everything ive ever seen had the ability to herm with the right conditions (Light stress being a big one have a couple red power indicator pixel leds on at dark time not taped up,Leaving tent flaps open,Seamline holes in tent ect) all do it i dont care what anyone says They all have the ability to Change teams.One of my first tent grows i hermed an entire tent of Marks Ghost from strainly some duke diamond skunks and one of my Other crosses.All different strains all hermed at same time culprit was a top tent flap i left open not thinking it was going to hurt boy was i wrong.Never did that again.Hell how many of us still have piles of bagseed from stuff we still pop we liked?Maybe if it was a breeder Steve Truesinse plant then maybe i would say no herm it wouldn’t matter if it did anyway no way of seeding it with no viable pollen couldn’t seed anyway
i was a vendor for cookies for a short time. everythings a rename down there. i was cashing out for a lb of wax, and it was all chem4 from a nice outdoor grow. manager said “oh, people dont like the chem name. they love smoking it but we gotta change it. this half is sunset sherb, this half is gelato.” no exaggeration. and dude called me 6 days later to reup lol. that was almost 10 years back now. they just sell whatever under whatever names popular. they dont give a crap, the hype is what sells the kids sadly.
everything herms? thats so far from the truth homie. I’ve had so many cuts I could give totally inconsistent lighting to thru flower. like multiple days of 24/0 mid flower. and not a single touch of herm. if you’re growing modern hype cookies junk, it’ll herm like nothing. but that’s trash genetics.
