@Fastbuds this is a total bait and switch scheme. why haven't you answered to the breeders of the true Original Glue #4 ...Josey an mardogg?????? They atleast deserve that respect. seriously your site is going to go down if you use tactics like that. like someone said before change it to Autogorilla and think about changing all your other clone only strains. if there good genetics they will sell themselves, why is there a need to rip and screw someone like Josey??

I was in Walmart yesterday, and came face to face with their logo, on the original Original Glue product. Sorry but we really can't have them using someone else's logo... Please provide a new banner, hopefully with a new logo for their new product, with a new name...

Update: Just saw a Original Glue commercial on the Weather Channel! Same logo...

I think the original company is now profiting by the popularity of the cannabis strain!

If that's the case, perhaps they might not mind the free promotion by companies like Fastbuds? LOL!

One day someone's gonna see the Original Glue logo in Walmart and think it's a roll of buds...

And maybe one day, not long after that, it will be a package of sticky buds...

I've often wondered about the Original Glue ... glue.... and the Original Glue cultivar... and wondered how the name and logo from Original Glue can be used for the weed without getting sued by the folks who made the glue.
makes no difference to me, jus always something I've been curious about. haven't grow the GG weed but that glue and tape, man the shits for real

[Grizz]

ggstrains does not use the Original Glue logo, however we have trade marked Original Glue 4 medical name in Nevada, ca, wa, co, and mi, it s not a adhesive related item therefore not infringing on Original Glue's patent .

I don't understand the problem Josey. They aren't calling it GG4. Also the only seeds they offer are autoflower so it's quite obvious that they used an autoflower parent on one side or the other. I don't see any claims of it being any sort of original GG4. Just a generic GG title. Every original seed Co has Northern Lights and it's their own interpretation of it, and is usually slightly different. If any GG was used why not call it that, unless of course you have trade marked the GG name as well as GG4. If not, what's the complaint? That you should have trademarked it but didn't? Or couldn't? If someone is digging around in GG genetics it is surely their interpretation of it. If you were a breeder and created a line, and this new Original Glue was different than that line, I can see room for being bummed out. Your one plant may be the Queen mother, but the genes that lay within still incompass the GG genes in my opinion. Smoke a bowl and relax, it 's not like it's your life's work in jeopardy here. Your business and boundaries should be respected, but other than that nobody owes you anything just because you have some Icmag fans.

Fastbuds, don't let the posse scare you with their pitchforks and torches.. Unless you call it GG4.. Then be afraid. Be very afraid.. Lol

Perhaps, we can use the pressure of ICMag to change the name.
Based on the description they have, perhaps you guys can suggest a new name?

It seems early enough in their product marketing for them to switch.

If it's a good strain, then it'll sell on it's own and shouldn't be confused with something else.

I'm really glad to see you fully understand the equation in play and you are sincerely working in the best interest of all parties involved.

A name change for this seed line is absolutely a must and appropriate.

An apology to FastBuds - we don't mean to "beat you up" - it's just that ICmag is not like other cannabis communities. We pride ourselves on factual information and accuracy. Many of us have dedicated our lives to this plant.

It is not our intent to attack a new vendor or make you feel unwelcome, but surely after reading these responses, you can see where the current naming/marketing strategy may not be in your best interest, from a corporate perspective.

You'll gain a lot of fans through humility - honesty - and like any business, by listening to your customer base.
