Animal Crackers
Also known as: Animal Cookies
Overview
Animal Crackers, also known as Animal Cookies, is a hybrid marijuana strain made by crossing two legendary strains, GSC (Girl Scout Cookies) and Fire OG. This indica-dominant hybrid strain features approximately 80% indica dominance with a distinctive terpene profile derived from its parent strains. Animal Cookies was created in the 2010s by Canadian breeders at BC Bud Depot, who crossed GSC and Fire OG to create a high-THC hybrid that offers both physical and mental relaxation. At the time, the strain was only available in clone form, though today other breeders have made this variety available in seed form. Also known as Animal Crackers, this 2013 High Times Cannabis Cup winner is known for a hard-hitting, euphoric buzz. True to its name, Animal Cookies has a sweet, sour aroma with heavy full-body effects that will impress any veteran consumer, with the ability to obliterate severe pain and insomnia. Animal Crackers quickly gained popularity in dispensaries, thanks to its well-balanced effects and flavorful characteristics, making it a sought-after choice for cannabis enthusiasts.

Growing Information
Animal Crackers is not recommended for beginner growers as it can be quite difficult to grow, requiring quite a bit of maintenance and not being as durable as some other strains. The strain can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, with a flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks (60-65 days). Plants need proper ventilation and regular trimming, with outdoor yields expected around 400 grams per plant and indoor yields of 1-2 ounces per square foot. Cultivation difficulty is moderate, requiring some experience to manage its sensitivity to certain growing conditions, and prefers a controlled environment with consistent temperatures and humidity levels. It's important to monitor humidity levels as the dense bud structure can make plants prone to mold and mildew, and it requires a fairly controlled environment. Expect medium yields of rock hard, crystal-laden flowers with sweet fuel and added cookie terpenes.
