The Girl Scout Cookies cannabis strain has risen to become a true classic that many growers associate with the aroma of sweet biscuits and heavy effects. The Californian strain overwhelms the user with a flood of terpenes that have an earthy, spicy and skunky note with a hint of mint. All in all, this results in an enticing aroma reminiscent of freshly baked biscuits.
The flowers of Girl Scout Cookies are impressively beautiful, with light green calyxes and often a deep purple colour with bright orange hairs. The buds form a thick layer of resin as if they were covered with icing. When smoked, the sweet taste with a slightly minty note unfolds immediately.
Where do the Girl Scout Cookies come from?
Although the origins of Girl Scout Cookies remain a bit of a mystery, we do know that she emerged in the mountains of California's Bay Area in the 2010s. It is also known that she emerged from a Durban Poison and an OG Kush. This particular combination explains the indica appearance and at the same time the cerebral sativa high.
Some suggest that the genetics of Grand Daddy Purple have also been brought in to provide the powerful high. While the complete genetic history of Girl Scout Cookies will probably always remain a mystery, growers can rest assured that they are getting a true queen and premium strain with many positive qualities. The strain has made a name for itself worldwide in a short time and is one of the most famous cannabis strains of our time.
The effect of the Girl Scout Cookies
The strain is hugely popular with medical and recreational users alike, and market demand is correspondingly high. The high of Girl Scout Cookies is strong, stimulating, euphoric and brightens up the day. The effects transition after a while to a period of reflection and eliminate anxiety and stress. She is the strain that induces both giggle fits and mental levitation, combining the best of indica and sativa effects. The effect is all over the body and provides powerful pain relief without making you drowsy.
If you are looking for a powerful strain for pain, nausea, headaches or lack of appetite, you will find it an effective natural medicine. Its far-reaching medicinal effects have contributed to its enormous popularity. Another reason is its high THC content, which is around 25% and will quickly sweep beginners off their feet. Even experienced users will feel its power and understand why it has become a favourite strain for so many cannabis lovers.
Although she has a sweet name and a cookie-like aroma, she is anything but a beginner strain. Her potency and special qualities have earned her numerous awards: e.g. first place at the High Times Cannabis Cup 2013 in LA and second place at the High Times Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam 2013. Over time, Girl Scout Cookies' genetics have been introduced into numerous other strains. The buds of Girl Scout Cookies are fluffy and dense, sticky and glistening.
Grow Girl Scout Cookies
Girl Scout Cookies can be excellently grown as Sea-of-Green and then sent into flowering quite early. Otherwise, you should allow for a growing period of about 6 weeks.
- Use an 18/6 light cycle (18 hours light and 6 hours dark) until the plants are at least 16 cm high. Change the position of the plants in the grow room from time to time to ensure an even supply of light.
- In the 12/12 light cycle, small flowers in the lower part of the plants should be removed.
After about 9-10 weeks, the variety is ready for harvest and delivers yields of up to 500g/m². With the help of different plant training methods, you can get even more out of the variety and increase the yields significantly.
Ensure good ventilation of the plants and sufficient air circulation in the growing space to prevent the dense flowers from being attacked by mildew or other harmful fungi. The plants prefer a more dry climate and have an increased need for calcium and magnesium.
