1989 skunk one from shanti?
I’ve got a mega dank female in veg… we’ll see how she flowers (flip in a few weeks)
also pulled a quick flowering male from the same grouping that has the acrid stem rub I remember when I first grew skunk.
the skunk #1 had a lot of pheno’s, but with this lady I can really smell the pungency that has been missing in most. short, fat, fast and stinky

Cookies in detroit is pure garbage in my experience… SF was good tho.

There’s actually 2 cookies entities that run everything
There’s cookies corporate which Berner owns
Then there’s lemonade which the Armenians run and berner is also a part of
The reason I know this is because I’m working directly with the second biggest selling brand in cookies here in CA
Lemonade doesn’t charge tax on top of the 1/8th price (lemonade is 66 an eighth out the door)
Cookies charges 66 + tax
It all depends on what you want to do with them
My boys who are in cookies don’t use any of cookies SOPS and have their own brand in there
If you dont have a strong brand recognition or good strains then they’ll provide you with strains and the growing techniques to grow them for an extra fee
What cookies trys to do is find decent growers with a following so they can come to the area and grow their strains and have some recognition because of the growers they use
Look at madcow here in CA
They grow dank, always have
Cookies just has them grow there weed and package it and they sell it, madcow has there own grow sop

As far as I’m aware this is exactly how it is to… although Cookies Oklahoma is a weird place considering most stores have pretty damn good indoor at $35 an eighth

Cookies SF used to be operated by Connected (actual elite cultivators). Then it was renamed in 2018-2019 to connected SF. Any store in SF now with the cookies name is pushing white label mids

So my understanding is they go into a lot of emerging markets for growing or extraction or shops on condition deals, usually on licensing and facility being acquired or operational. They have seem to kinda offer these deals to who ever, ive had guys from UK, Portugal, Spain, South Africa, Israel and few other places that have been given conditional deals, either verbal or written (letter of intent i think) tell me they have a cookies deal on the table. A lot of orgs or people I generally wouldn’t think would be successful (I dont know, ive been wrong before) so i kinda see it as the shotgun blast/accuracy by volume tactic which defiantly doesn’t leave you with good quality control.
Who ever said it before was right, they sell a bag and brand not cannabis. The genetics and hype are real so that makes the money real. Even before leaving Washington 2017 dumb asses were paying 400USD oz on name brand shit from the jungle boys and cookies in the hood (when good light dep or indoor was easily 100-125), so I assume its worse in the east coast and illegal states or much worse. This goes along with the normy trend of not understanding cannabis in general, leafly reviewers, not understanding dealers lie, confusing strains with brands, ect ect ect.
I think it depends on your resources and market on weather it makes sense to partner with any MSO, some of them are just sharks in newly opening markets.

Connected isnt cookies
Connected started as collective efforts here in Sac, and they basically screwed berner in a deal and stole a bunch of his strains
Connected white labels too, idk why you think they don’t

LOL you’re sorely mistaken. Screwed Berner? You don’t know what you’re talking about at all. Berner was merely a glorified mouthpiece until he couldn’t even deliver on that. Connected was all the cultivation and retail before they split. Facts. But enjoy dick riding Gilbert ya custie lmao

Bahahaha
You have no idea what you’re talking about
Why did they split?
Because Berner signed a contract in which he didn’t read (which is his mistake) and in that contract connected got his strains
There’s a reason he doesn’t grow the old strains that connected took anymore
Connected has 300 lights being grown in the GD facility here in Sac, id know because I’ve seen the grow and type 7 I might put my membrane skid in…
But what so I know right? 
When you buy that weed from Connected its labeled as grown in the GD facility
Here’s an example, I know SW care givers is cookies Melrose…
Connected does the exact same thing and white labels, I don’t fuck with connected or I could show you. I’ll get some jars from the homie and show you. They won’t all be from the same grower

You’re again wrong. The bulk of their flower is grown in a much larger facility than that (7-800 lights) and is not named that. Pick up a jar of their indoor and you’ll see it.
Platinum cookies i was around was weird af man. Very indica not much uppity to it… id almost say mids growers fault but idk
