Kookies
Also known as: Kush Mints x Animal Cookies, Kookies Strain
Kookies Strain Overview
Kookies is a modern hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing two highly regarded parent strains: Kush Mints and Animal Cookies. This genetic combination brings together the potency and structure of Kush Mints with the complex flavor profile and resin production of Animal Cookies. The strain emerged in the mid-2010s as breeders sought to create a cultivar that combined exceptional bag appeal with strong effects, quickly gaining popularity in both medical and recreational cannabis markets.
The strain typically produces dense, chunky buds with a frosty trichome coating that gives them a white, sugary appearance. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. Kookies is known for its striking visual presentation and heavy resin production, making it a favorite among concentrate producers. The buds are usually compact and tightly structured, with a sticky texture that indicates high terpene content.
Kookies has gained recognition for its balanced effects and complex aromatic profile. While specific breeding details vary between different seed banks and cultivators, the strain consistently demonstrates the desirable traits of both parent lines. It has become particularly popular in the United States cannabis market, where it has won several awards at cannabis competitions for its quality and potency.

Kookies Strain Growing Information
Kookies 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 plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early 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 ideal conditions.
The plant exhibits a hybrid growth structure with indica-dominant characteristics, typically reaching a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. It prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures. Kookies requires careful attention to nutrient levels, particularly during the flowering phase, and benefits from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. The strain is moderately resistant to common pests and molds but requires good air circulation to prevent bud rot due to its dense flower structure.
