Agree to disagree Dan. The cut MO says is Platinum GSC looks more like that ogkb cut on the other forums. Still haven't seen any dried buds it yet..
You can taste the platinum flavor in them in the same way you get a distinctly different flavor from platinum OG. It's out there, you'll see it eventually. It's really hard to sort through all the bs surrounding GSC's. Everyone I know who runs GSC has contradicting info on what is what. Too much confusion!
Platinum cookies don't taste like OGKB.
As for Platinum Cherry Pie, I can't speak on it because I've never tried her. Ran some Platinum OG Kush and it turned out amazing.
I'm a fan of platinum OG. There are OG cuts that produce a better final product out there (abusive, presidential, etc), but it gives off a unique high quality bud that I really enjoy. But mainly I like to run platinum OG because I can get .75 g/watt of usable bud and all the other OG's I've ran give me about .5g/watt. I know there are people out there (swerve for one) who get their OG's to yield better, but for me, .75g/watt on any OG is pretty damn solid. I'm running Alien OG right now which can supposedly out yield platinum, but we'll see. In my experience so far platinum OG is it's the best yielding OG that's still giving off top shelf bud.
Platinum Cherry pie is much the same, as platinum OG and platinum GSC in terms of flavor, but actually a little better IMO. The problem I have with regular cherry pie is that it's essentially just a bag appeal strain. It looks and smells phenomenal, but is kind of disappointing when you smoke it. Not that it's bad bud, it just isn't as good as it looks/smells.
The platinum Cherry pie really brings out that cherry flavor much better than the original. But it's a little different than platinum OG. In platinum OG the platinum cross gives the plants a better structure. Better node spacing. You get superior colas as compared to most OG's which results in a better yield. Platinum cherry pie is a little different. It's essentially the same plant structure as regular cherry pie, but it gives you MUCH MUCH bigger buds. Each bud plumps up to the point were it almost looks a little freakish. That bizarre bud plumping is what gives it an increase in yield. In addition to that it also hits a lot harder than regular cherry pie and it's a solid purple strain. Purple buds and purple leaves all the way down the plant.
Basically, it's like cherry pie, but stronger, tastes better, yields better, gives you bigger buds, and gives you purple buds. What's not to like about that?
