Loaded Cookie
Also known as: Loaded Cookies
Loaded Cookie Strain Overview
Loaded Cookie is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed through the crossbreeding of two popular dessert-themed varieties: GSC (formerly Girl Scout Cookies) and Gelato. This strain emerged in the mid-2010s from California's competitive cannabis breeding scene, where breeders sought to combine the potent effects and complex flavor profiles of these two iconic parent strains. The result is a cultivar that has gained recognition for its balanced effects and dessert-like aromatic qualities, though it remains less widely documented than its more famous predecessors.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance characterized by dark olive green foliage contrasted by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of milky-white trichomes. The nugs often exhibit a slightly purple hue in cooler growing conditions, adding to their visual appeal. Loaded Cookie's structure tends to be compact and bushy, inheriting growth characteristics from both its indica and sativa lineage.
Notable features include its complex terpene profile that combines earthy, sweet, and citrus notes, creating a sensory experience that many users describe as reminiscent of baked goods with a hint of fuel. The strain's effects are typically described as well-balanced, offering both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. While Loaded Cookie has developed a following among connoisseurs, comprehensive historical documentation remains limited compared to more established commercial strains.

Loaded Cookie Strain Growing Information
Loaded Cookie is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in controlled environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Loaded Cookie benefits from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize light penetration and bud development.
Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures (68-80°F/20-27°C) and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds. The plants respond well to nutrient regimens designed for hybrid varieties and may exhibit some nutrient sensitivity during the vegetative stage. Adequate airflow is essential due to the dense bud structure.
