GMO 8
Also known as: GMO #8, Garlic Mushroom Onion 8
GMO 8 Strain Overview
GMO 8 is a potent cannabis strain that represents a specific phenotype selection from the original GMO (Garlic Mushroom Onion) strain, which is also known as GMO Cookies. This particular phenotype was selected for its exceptional terpene profile and potency, distinguishing it from other GMO phenotypes. The strain was developed by Skunkmaster Flex through careful selection and breeding, though some sources suggest it may have originated from Mamiko Seeds. GMO 8 has gained significant popularity among connoisseurs and medical users for its unique aromatic qualities and powerful effects.
The strain's most distinctive characteristic is its pungent aroma, which combines savory garlic and onion notes with earthy mushroom undertones, creating a complex olfactory experience that some describe as reminiscent of gourmet cooking. The buds are typically dense and resinous, with dark green foliage often accented by purple hues and covered in a thick layer of trichomes. The visual appearance is complemented by vibrant orange pistils that contrast against the darker background.
GMO 8 is considered a relatively rare phenotype that has been stabilized through selective breeding. While it shares genetic lineage with the original GMO strain, this specific expression has been noted for its consistency in producing the distinctive garlic-mushroom-onion terpene profile. The strain has become particularly sought after in the cannabis community for both its unique flavor and its reliably potent effects, though comprehensive historical documentation about its specific development remains limited compared to more widely documented strains.

GMO 8 Strain Growing Information
GMO 8 is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor growers in suitable climates can expect harvest around mid to late October. The plants tend to be medium to tall in height, often reaching 4-6 feet indoors and potentially taller outdoors. Yield is generally moderate to high with proper care, producing dense, resinous buds. This strain prefers a controlled indoor environment where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed, though it can also be grown outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure and providing adequate support during flowering as the heavy buds may cause branches to bend or break. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and manage height.
