Also known as: Bordeaux Cookie, Bordeaux Cookies Kush
What is the Bordeaux Cookies strain?
Bordeaux Cookies is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and bakery and berry flavor profile.
Bordeaux Cookies is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) with Bordeaux, a strain known for its deep purple coloration and fruity terpene profile. This strain emerged in the mid-2010s as breeders sought to combine the potent effects and complex flavor of GSC with the striking visual appeal and unique aromatic qualities of Bordeaux genetics. The strain gained attention in both the medical and recreational cannabis communities for its balanced effects and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds that exhibit a distinctive color palette ranging from deep forest green to vibrant purple, often with bright orange pistils weaving through the floral structures. The purple pigmentation becomes more pronounced when plants are exposed to cooler temperatures during the late flowering stage. Bordeaux Cookies is characterized by a thick coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance, indicating high cannabinoid and terpene content.
Notable features include its complex aromatic profile that combines sweet, dessert-like notes with fruity undertones, and its balanced effects that make it suitable for both daytime and evening use. The strain has gained popularity in legal markets, particularly in North America and Europe, though it remains less common than its parent strain Girl Scout Cookies. Breeders continue to work with Bordeaux Cookies genetics to develop new hybrid varieties that maintain its desirable characteristics.

How do you grow Bordeaux Cookies?
Bordeaux Cookies is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to grow to medium height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include temperature manipulation during the flowering phase to enhance purple coloration - exposing plants to nighttime temperatures of 10-15°C (50-59°F) can intensify the purple hues. The plants require good air circulation to prevent mold in dense buds and respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields.
