Wow I really hope so! It's been a couple year search for me. If its the real deal I would compare it to finding gold at the end of a rainbow. This strain has been such a pain in the ass to acquire :/ thanks for your eye Samson!

text doesn't convey tone well apparently. i'm smiling. promise. there's nothing happening on ICM worth really getting upset about. of this much i am certain.
mrgoodbudz looks promising so far, i agree with samson....good luck!
Was not trying to pick a fight, I have my product tested at a lab that is one of 5 that are nationally acredited nd I've had the process and science explained to me by their lab technicians who are biologists and chemists. SC labs formula is not scientifically sound. The lab is trying to mimic the way the cannabinoids in your system. GC is the best option for flowers/concentrates because it heats it up to the temperature which you ingest it at smoking. HPLC gets mg/g measurements for digestion. But doesn't heat it up. So you get ALL THCA in the results, which is not potentiated THC.

Awesome to hear YOU think so as well!!!
And on another note but highly similar to the topic. In my desperate attempts to have Gsc in my garden I wasted too much money and time on Cali connection Girl Scout cookies feminized 6 pack. 100% germination. 4 males. 2 females. 2 females are decent plants. Deff Not anything close to any type of REAL Gsc. Ina nutshell... Don't bother with swereves gsc it it is utter bullshit if your looking for something even close to Gsc. I'm on my way to flower to snap some shots of the 2 females.
And after all that I didn't even bother to clone the 2 girls prior to actually receiving the forum cut recently. They don't compare to any of the other strains I already grow actively. Not worth a spot in my line up

Hey ya'll, been a lil while since I was on IC, good to see the site still rolling along. These cooks are something serious and I know what I must do now, snack like a fat kid. A batch (not the best and not the worst, looks to be OD) of cookies finally made it to my area from out west. I was excited to hear the good news so I went and got some to try out since I already have been smoking my Cookie Wreck that I did last year. It was kind of a let down only because it was a subpar batch being passed off to some east coasters. My CW blew this sample out of the water in all the right categories. If I wouldn't have had the CW 1st I definitely would have been let down by this sample looking for a 1st taste of the cooks.
I definitely would like to try a proper batch done right next time to really experience some pure cookies. I had 2 phenos in my CW, both were cookie dom but 1 was what I believe to be what people would describe when they sample the real forum (amazing high, smell, taste, OG kush with an exciting twist!) With that being said i'm still on the hunt for more cookie genetics. I already have a few CW beans left (need to get another pack when available) and Flaming Cookies is on the to get list from CV when restocked. I've been asking for S1s like a lot of people have but I guess that's still a year or more off because everytime someone starts the project they quit it or disappear. So does anyone have any idea when some of those Ogkb cookie hybrids or other forum cut hybrids are being dropped (at least 50% cooks)? Will any of cookie creations from members here be available without having to attend a canna cup? Sorry for all the ?s just really trying to see what options might be available for this years grow.
I also took pics of those cooks that came from the other coast along with my CW for comparison. I'll post a few when I get my computer fixed (the main reason I've been gone for a bit). Sorry if some of my ?s have been answered recently. I was a daily multiple times a day ICMAG surfer before my laptop broke and I just got a computer to use for the mean time so I have a lot of catching up to do and haven't had any time to research yet. So thanks in advance for your responses. Keep those amazing "cooks" pics coming in and spread love not hate lets help our community and stay united. Ya'll stay safe and take care 1

Not trying to pick a fight either, but I was lead to believe the GC is old tech, and that HPLC is the current standard.
As far as THCA not converting to THC, that is contrary to what I have seen when I was refining my tincture process. The only reason for tests at that point was to confirm decarboxylation. After my processing, the test results confirmed that the carbolic acid was removed, leaving just THC. Curious why you would think that THCA does not convert to THC. Not trolling, just asking...
Reread what it says in my first statement. THCA converts to Other cannabinoids AS WELL. Meaning there is no way D9 THC will equal THCA. Let alone, adding THCA and d9 together to get the result? Tell me scientifically or mathematically how you can reach a higher active THC number than THCA? I'm all ears.
HPLC is NOT the standard. Properly calibrated GC, or Mass Spectrometers are the standard. The lab I go to performs multiple calibrations on their machines each day to make sure they remain accurate.
HPLC is best used for edibles, as it measures mg of cannabinoids present in a sample. GC has markers set, that read the cannabinoids as being present at a certain time and temperature of the machine. It heats the sample up to accurately mimic how THC is activated by the common user.

I understand, that THCA encompasses more than just THC. Luckily, I just spoke to the lab, and they will be testing for all the rest of the known cannabanoids. That should make the picture much clearer.
What sucks about lab testing is the lack of regulation. There really is none. Any of us could buy a gas chromatograph setup and start a business tomorrow with zero experience and education. Its a field that overtime will get better, it already has. I still have a hard time believing what i see when i see my shit tested. I have a broker that passed my product off to two diff ppl, exact same batch and strain. The percentage difference was astonishing. Both had terminals tested both used sc labs(bad rep). One was 22% and one was 26%. Thats not right.........confusing and irritating.
Ever heard of the Ring Test Norml and CBD project collaborated for?
Mixed findings show strengths and problems among analytic testing services
In the winter of 2010/11, California NORML and Project CBD initiated a “Ring Test” to assess the accuracy of analytical cannabis testing laboratories that have recently emerged to serve medical marijuana collectives, breeders, growers and patients.
Coauthored by California NORML director Dale Gieringer and Dutch chemist Dr. Arno Hazekamp, the full results of the Ring Test are reported in the Autumn 2011 issue of O’Shaughnessy’s, the Journal of Cannabis in Clinical Practice.
“We embarked on a parallel study of cannabis testing labs to shed light on a significant, unresolved issue within the fledgling medical marijuana industry in California and other states,” says Gieringer, “We wanted to know how reliable is the information provided by analytical cannabis labs? Are they adequately serving the needs of medical marijuana patients and providers?”
Ten cannabis labs in two states agreed to participate in an anonymous, side-by-side study to assess the accuracy and precision of their collective work. The participating labs employed a variety of analytical techniques and instrumentation to conduct their analysis. Six samples drawn from the same sources were tested by each lab: four herbal samples, including one CBD-rich strain, and two tinctures (alcohol extracts).
Results of the Ring Test indicate the following:

Great article, but unfortunately the link to the full report seems to be broken. I always try to take a step back in order to form an unbiased opinion. From the report, both methods are comparable, until you come to the alcohol tinctures. That makes sense due to the volatility of alcohol when heated.
The tolerances between tests may seem high at 25% between high and low, but I want to see actual numbers from the whole report. 25% of a small number, is an even smaller number...
