When you enter the black market of wholesale you begin to see all they sale is cookies hybrids... thats why its flooded

i do like me some gmo, kush mints, and other good smoking strains crossed to cookies are not bad
I agree gmo and kush mints are pretty good exceptions, it's been cookie shit on the traditional market for years now. Miss some good OG and sour

They need to broaden there horizons and take advice from actual weed people not some jumped up salesman it sounds like
The key is in Cry toxins released from bacillus bacteria. Cry toxins stimulate different thiol production in plants as a defense response. Modern commercial bacillus uses have out competed those older BT strains.
The most common used now being BTi produces cry toxins which are stimulating a garlic/egg thiol where older cry toxins stimulate skunk thiols.
Investigate what mexican corn fields were using back then to prevent caterpillars. When the US commercial BT strains were sprayed those applied BT strains took over.

I think skunk is skunk no matter how you grow it this has been covered at great lengths and though having some sulphur compounds and more micros in the dirt might boost your production a bit it doesn't change something that ain't there in the first place it's still genetic after all so either it is or it isn't
