Big Apple Cookies
Overview
Big Apple Cookies is a sativa-leaning hybrid cannabis strain developed by Mamiko Seeds through an exclusive collaboration with Alchimia Grow Shop. Created by crossing the legendary NYC Diesel Mandarina elite clone with the famous Forum Girl Scout Cookies cut, this strain represents a sophisticated fusion of classic genetics. NYC Diesel Mandarina, an old elite clone that gained fame in the 2000s, contributes its unique terpene composition featuring sweet and citric mandarin with intense diesel flavors, while Forum Cookies provides dense flower structure, creamy sweetness, and enhanced potency.
The strain exhibits a complex flavor profile reminiscent of apple pie with cookie dough, featuring sweet and creamy base notes intertwined with vibrant tangerine and citrus fruits. This cultivar produces tight, dense flowers that swell disproportionately during flowering, significantly increasing cannabinoid levels. Big Apple Cookies is known for its balanced hybrid effects, offering mental and physical relaxation without becoming overly sedating, making it suitable for daily activities and social occasions. The plant displays vigorous growth with slender branching patterns and can double in size during early flowering, requiring support for main branches.
