Honestly, they were pretty damn good. I was real lucky, one of my friends cousins worked the docks in Oakland. Only reason he even dealt with us is the cousin thing. An eighth here and a half there was way under his level. But we saw stuff that had just arrived. Growers seemed to be into their craft, and street prices reflected that. I've paid 80$ for an eighth of street weed that calling it fire was an insult. Never seen anything like that come out of a legal commercial shop.
The new stuff is great, am a fan of gelato, but only grown in soil, and from local grows. You can taste the grape pomace from our wineries that was used in the soil. Gorilla glue gets 2 thumbs up as well.
Not a cookies fan or cookie crosses... more for the plant than the bud. Got its name from nugs all about the size of girl Scout cookies.
Once we came indoor, the thc levels climbed quickly, we dropped the "hippie" frisbee life and became Beavis and Butthead stoners.
Growing any of these strains needs to be looked at carefully, you named a lot that are herm prone. Bringing them to auto you get some of that too.
