Doctor's Orders
Doctor's Orders Strain Overview
Doctor's Orders is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Exotic Genetix. The strain was created by crossing the popular indica-dominant hybrid GMO Cookies (also known as Garlic Cookies) with the sativa-dominant hybrid Cherry Pie. This genetic combination results in a plant that offers a complex profile of effects, flavors, and aromas, making it a notable entry in the modern cannabis market. The name 'Doctor's Orders' suggests a therapeutic focus, though consumers should note that cannabis affects individuals differently and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds that are dense and resinous, often displaying a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues. The flowers are usually covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature bright orange pistils. Doctor's Orders is known for its pungent aroma that combines earthy, gassy notes inherited from GMO Cookies with sweet, fruity undertones from Cherry Pie. The flavor profile is similarly complex, often described as a blend of diesel, garlic, and sweet berries with a smooth, creamy finish on the exhale.
While specific historical details about its development timeline are limited, Doctor's Orders has gained recognition within cannabis communities for its potent effects and unique terpene profile. The strain represents a continuation of the cookie family lineage, which has been influential in contemporary cannabis breeding. As with many modern hybrids, its exact characteristics can vary between different growers and phenotypes, but it generally maintains a reputation for delivering a well-rounded experience that appeals to both recreational and therapeutic users.

Doctor's Orders Strain Growing Information
Doctor's Orders is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor harvests usually occur in mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control. Plants tend to be medium in height with a bushy structure, requiring some training and pruning to optimize light penetration and airflow. Expected yields are moderate to high with proper care, producing dense, resinous buds. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and mold, especially given the dense bud structure. The strain responds well to various growing techniques including SCROG (Screen of Green) and topping to maximize yields.
