Slurricane and Dolato both have cookies in them as they are Do-si-do crosses. Do-si-dos is GSCxFace-off OG according to google.

Oh jeez I didn't know that either.
Yeah with a lot of the newer strains out it is getting harder and harder to find crosses that do not have cookies in them in some form. The Gelato used in the Dolato is actually another cookie hybrid as well.

GSC is introducing homogenization of a whole new level in cannabis. It'll be as pervasive as skunk genetics in another 10 years.

Lots of great info the past few pages guys. Very interesting stuff!
Seems like so many of the new american crosses are all versions of cookies or some pheno of OG Kush. Not saying they aren't good but I love a big variety.
Cookie crosses are very prevalent right now. It is mostly due to the bag appeal, density and frost that cookies brings to the table. Some people love the terps and flavors where as others hate them and that is one reason they get crossed to things. That and to help bring the yield up. I see a lot of mixed reviews on the high from GSC and any crosses she is in. OG Kush has been in so many crosses in the last two decades because it is a staple of the Cali weed scene. Cookies too gained popularity because of it. I get your want for variety, hence the seed collection. Unfortunately a lot of people are of the mind of "Cookies or better" which puts cookies at the top of the pyramid. I myself prefer fruity and fuelly strains and there are some breeders that really work with those terps well. They tend not to be as big as the ones making poly-cookie-hybrids, but they have their own legs to stand on and seem to be well received in the right circles.

Bag appeal craze never meant a lot to me 
I'm with ya there unless it's a fluffy hairy sativa bud then I get excited. They all look the same to me ground up. I get looking at pretty buds is cool and all but I don't see how it should play any factor in strain selection.Bag appeal craze never meant a lot to me

That's the people that are obsessed with appearances. Probably similar group to the ones that care only about THC levels.
It's gotta be appearance, yield, and smell that sells GSC. The weed ain't got a hair on its a$$. 
Cookies is reputed to have one of the highest levels of b-caryophyllene available in a chemovar. This terpene will perform in many of the ways CBD will to modulate the effects of THC, but most importantly to downplay the effects of inflammation.
So if you’re someone who deals with inflammation, either in the periphery as physical pain expression, or with storms in your brain and central nervous system, you’re likely responding in a very positive way to this particular genetic mix.
Grand Daddy Purple is sought after for the same reason when building a regimen for the treatment of many diseases, and in particular for cancer treatment. It has a much more refined profile than Cookies, IMO.
My Thin Mint GSC was an intense, headband constricting high. Too much for the daughter. It was also one of my largest and most beautiful flowering bushes.
Made the most delicious minty-flavored brownies.

I’m so glad I stopped to catch up Graytail. *sigh* You drive me to be better at the craft.
Hey... been meaning to ask... when you grow the small pots, do you trim them at all to keep side growth down or just let them go?
I got about an ounce each from mine, without even trying. I’ll be more attentive next time through. Yours are absolutely gorgeous my super-talented friend.

Nope, they just grow that way.
I veg them to 10 inches or so and let'em rip!

Oooo.... I was hoping you’d say that.
I’m gonna do a batch of DDAs to start. I have those medium-sized pots that’ll be about twice the size I used this run.
Oh Graytail.... I’m sooo excited!
I just realized the autos will do different than photos. Hmmm.... maybe a mix.

Well, we're there! Carnival2 will be ready for harvest tomorrow! Things are progressing rapidly. I'll be chopping something every 3-4 days for the next couple weeks. I can't wait to see what the yields are going to be like - I haven't grown plants like this before. Whew!

RaspberryDiesel keeps getting better. She starting to form thick club-headed tops - plenty of sparkle for her age too.
RaspberryDiesel - 36 days
After I took the pics I found some bud rot in the DurBush top. It wasn't bad - only a few grams - but I had to take half the top off to pull it apart. Sample time!

I thoroughly checked UBH x GT and no sign of rot.
