So I received this comment in another thread, but mod’s intervened and deleted a number of posts before I had a chance to reply…
This is the reply I was typing when the thread was cleaned up:
That’s amazing, considering that I also discovered my Cookieland cross showed hermie traits and WARNED EVERYONE that was in my threads where I gave them out AS TESTERS, or gave out the pollen, of that fact. My Cookieland was created from my prized GSC crossed with JOTI’s Black Candyland. The Candyland part of JOTI’s Black Candyland cross was from Seed Junky Genetics - and I’ve personally documented my experience with their hermie-prone genetics, as have others.
So that’s as far as I got as I was typing my reply, but I want to go further here…
I’ve been growing my GSC for between 2 and 3 years. I realized how special she was as she was flowering the very first time, and fortunately, I had already cut clones. I wished I had kept a male from that pack/puck so I could make F2’s, but I didn’t.
After a few grows with her, I knew she was a “forever” girl. And when I shared pics of her, the comments were very flattering. So I wanted to do the OG thing and make a version of her that I could share with you, the Overgrow community. The only way to achieve this was to find something special I could cross her with. I reached out to see if anyone had any pollen they could contribute, but literally no one replied. So that’s how I ended up with the Black Candyland. The pic Jordan has on his website showed a Black Candyland plant that seemed worthy of my GSC, so I went with that.
If I had known about Seed Junky’s hermie issues, I would’ve never risked it. But I didn’t learn about the problems until I had agreed to be the grower for a private seed run of their Wedding Cake. It was during that grow that I also learned about the Triangle Kush BX3 issues, as documented in that thread. And sure enough, all the females I got were hermies, just like the TK BX3.
A couple of people told me they had hermie issues with their Cookieland testers, and I was totally bummed about it. I didn’t know where the issue was, so I didn’t do anything at that time. Then I went back to review the genetics of the Black Candyland, and BOOM! That’s when it hit me that the Candyland was from Seed Junky. As soon as that crystallized in my tiny brain, I immediately posted warnings about it in my threads where the seeds or pollen were given away.
That brings us to today. With that comment I posted at the top of the post, I hate to think about me building a reputation of breeding hermies, and it sounds like that info might be getting out there via PM’s or on other websites. 
Please note: my GSC is not a hermie, but she IS a GSC, and GSC’s are known to be prone to hermie. So perhaps she carries that gene in her DNA.
All this time, I’ve been thinking that the hermie issues with Cookieland were due to the Candyland male, and maybe they were, but it’s possible that the hermie gene is also coming from my GSC.
For the reasons I’ve explained, I won’t be giving away anything I’ve crossed with my GSC until further notice, if ever.
For me, this is a sad day. I have a special plant and wanted to share her with you guys, but not at the risk of ruining what’s left of my tattered reputation.
