Blood Orange Cookies
Also known as: Blood Orange, Orange Cookies
Blood Orange Cookies Strain Overview
Blood Orange Cookies is a hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing the popular Girl Scout Cookies with a select Orange phenotype. This strain emerged in the mid-2010s from California's competitive cannabis breeding scene, where breeders sought to combine the potency and complex flavor profile of GSC with the vibrant citrus characteristics of Orange strains. The result is a balanced hybrid that has gained recognition for its distinctive aroma and reliable effects.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, medium-sized buds with a structure typical of Cookie varieties. The flowers display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, while orange pistils weave through the dense foliage. The visual appeal is enhanced by the strain's resin production, which is substantial and contributes to its potency.
Blood Orange Cookies is particularly noted for its aromatic profile, which combines the sweet, earthy notes of its Cookie lineage with pronounced citrus undertones. The name accurately reflects the dominant scent, which many users describe as reminiscent of fresh blood oranges with hints of tropical fruit and subtle cookie-like sweetness. This strain has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced effects and complex flavor experience.

Blood Orange Cookies Strain Growing Information
Blood Orange Cookies is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plant typically flowers in 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for harvest by late September to early October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 14-16 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. Blood Orange Cookies responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain proper airflow to prevent mold, especially given the strain's dense bud structure. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with particular attention needed during the flowering phase to support terpene development.
