Cookies & Cream IX3
Also known as: Cookies and Cream IX3, C&C IX3
Cookies & Cream IX3 Strain Overview
Cookies & Cream IX3 is a stabilized hybrid cannabis strain developed through multiple generations of selective breeding. The strain represents the third generation of inbreeding (IX3) from the original Cookies & Cream genetics, which were created by crossing the famous Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) with a select phenotype of Starfighter. This stabilization process has resulted in more consistent expression of desirable traits across different phenotypes while maintaining the strain's signature characteristics.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance featuring dark green leaves accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives the flowers a frosted appearance. The buds often display purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. Cookies & Cream IX3 is known for its complex aroma profile that combines sweet, creamy notes with earthy undertones and subtle hints of vanilla.
As a stabilized hybrid, Cookies & Cream IX3 offers balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its consistent performance and appealing sensory characteristics. Breeders have focused on maintaining the strain's desirable terpene profile while improving genetic stability through the inbreeding process.

Cookies & Cream IX3 Strain Growing Information
Cookies & Cream IX3 is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors. Indoor plants typically reach heights of 100-150 cm, while outdoor plants can grow taller, up to 200 cm. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outside.
Yield is moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The strain responds well to training techniques such as topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yield. Growers should monitor humidity levels carefully during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture-related issues. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some phenotypes showing sensitivity to overfeeding.
