Girl Scout Cookies

There is a big hype and also a lots of myths about the Girl Scout Cookies. Many people think the strain is a hybrid of the Cherry Pie （Cherry Kush） and also have some GDP in the lineage - others say it is a South Florida OG Kush x F1 Durban hybrid. It's not a big yielder, but strong and tasty. Flowering around 9 - 10 weeks.

According to https://cannabisblog.eu/girl-scout-cookies/ who did his own research the story regarding the lineage and creation of Girl Scout Cookies goes like that:
GSC was created around 2008 by a grower named George. He got a PCK dad from Philly and crossed it with his Cherry Pie cut and made a selection of that strain in the Bay area. It is told it was the same cut Gage Green used later for their crosses of Cherry Puff or Grateful Breath.

A bit later Berner got a plant called Cherry Pie Kush with some bag seeds. Bag seeds in GSC flowers hadn't been uncommon.
Berner was working that time at "the hemp center" and became friends with Jai Chang aka Jigga. They probably started to select a "cookie kush" pheno from that bag seeds. Both claim until today GSC is some mystery genetics from an unknown source named F1 crossed to OG Kush. As it wasn't a stable strains, bag seeds appeared and other phenos / cuts appeared like the platinum and forum cut. The forum cut was widely shared at icmag.com and is told to be originated in Emeryville, CA.
Some growers shared a clone via Red Jay to the founder of "Always Be Flowering" （ICmag: @Abja Roots , today he is calling himself Ghost.） .
Abja / Ghost took some clones to a barbeque of ICMag-User @Yes4Prop215 where also other growers appeared. Belive what you want, what is undisputed, Berner is a marketing professional and playing in a different league when it comes to hype things.
