Blackberry Cookies
Blackberry Cookies
Also known as: BBC
Overview
Blackberry Cookies is a modern, dessert-leaning hybrid that blends the berry-forward character of blackberry-descended cultivars with the doughy, minty sweetness of the Cookies family. This strain is the result of crossing the flavorful Blackberry Kush with the well-known Girl Scout Cookies, leading to a balanced hybrid that inherits the best traits from both parent strains. The strain reflects the broader Cookies era of the 2010s, when hybrids with bakery-themed flavor profiles surged in popularity, with seed releases and clone-only cuts bearing the Blackberry Cookies name beginning to appear in Oregon, Washington, and California menus by the late 2010s.
Blackberry Cookies has olive-green buds that are large and chunky, with long protruding orange pistils which spider-web through and around the buds, and a thin coating of white trichomes. The strain's rise coincided with a renewed interest in purple-leaning cultivars that express anthocyanins under cooler nights, with this visual trend dovetailing with the cultivar's blackberry lineage, which is prone to deep coloration when grown well. This bud has a sweet and nutty blackberry and berry cookie taste with a lightly spicy exhale, with the aroma following the same profile, although with a heavier spiciness that lingers long after the final toke.

Growing Information
Blackberry Cookies typically exhibits a hybrid-indica structure with moderate to strong lateral branching and medium internode spacing, with veg growth that is steady, not overly stretchy, and responds well to topping and low-stress training to create an even canopy. Indoors, expect an 8–9 week flowering window from the flip, with most phenotypes finishing around day 60–65, and yields in dialed environments commonly reaching 400–550 g/m² in a ScrOG or well-managed SOG, with exceptional runs exceeding 600 g/m². Outdoor plants in full sun and favorable climates can produce 600–1,000 g per plant, with harvest times from late September to early October depending on latitude and phenotype. The strain can be moderately susceptible to powdery mildew in high humidity and stagnant air, requiring preventative measures including strong air exchange, oscillating fans creating gentle leaf flutter, and prophylactic biologicals.
