Cookies and Cream
Cookies and Cream
Also known as: Cookies N Cream, Cookies & Cream
Overview
Cookies and Cream is a hybrid marijuana strain made from a cross between Starfighter and an undisclosed GSC phenotype. This strain won first place in the hybrid category of the 2014 Denver Cannabis Cup and was originally bred by Exotic Genetix. The strain is an evenly balanced hybrid (60% indica/40% sativa) that successfully combines a delectable, dessert-like flavor profile with balanced, versatile effects.
The Cookies and Cream flavor is very much like the name suggests, with tastes of sweet vanilla and nutty earth topped with creamy butter. The aroma is just as delicious, with an overtone of sweet nutty earth and a touch of vanilla as the nugs are burned. This bud has fluffy popcorn-shaped dark green nugs with dark purple undertones, fiery orange hairs, and a frosty coating of clear crystal trichomes. The strain's distinctive flavor and effects are courtesy of a terpene profile dominated by limonene, caryophyllene, and myrcene.
Whether you're looking to enhance creativity, manage chronic pain, or simply unwind at the end of a long day, Cookies and Cream offers an exceptional cannabis experience that delivers a smooth transition from an uplifting mental buzz to a calming body relaxation. Cookies and Cream inherited the best traits of both parent strains, resulting in a strain with a decadent aroma and well-balanced effects.

Growing Information
Cookies and Cream is typically a difficult, temperamental strain to grow and is not recommended for first-time cultivators. This plant can be successfully grown indoors or outdoors, but outdoor growing requires warm and semi-humid, Mediterranean-like climates, with daytime temperatures in the 70 to 80 degree Fahrenheit range. Cookies and Cream has a very short flowering time - grown indoors, plants are ready for harvest within 8 to 9 weeks. When cultivated indoors, Cookies and Cream generally flowers in 8-10 weeks, while outdoor growers can expect to harvest in early to mid-October. Indoor yields are approximately 400-500 grams per square meter. Grown indoors, plants reach medium height and require training by bending and pruning branches early in the vegetative stage, with topping and trimming of fan leaves to maximize yield.
