New Cookies
Also known as: New Cookie, New Girl Scout Cookies
What is the New Cookies strain?
New Cookies is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
New Cookies is a hybrid cannabis strain that represents a modern reinterpretation of the classic Girl Scout Cookies lineage. While its exact genetic origins are not always consistently documented across all sources, it is generally understood to be a phenotype or closely related variant of the original Girl Scout Cookies, which itself is a cross between Durban Poison and OG Kush. The strain emerged in the California cannabis scene during the mid-2010s as breeders sought to refine and stabilize the desirable traits of the original Cookies family. It is sometimes described as a 'backcross' or selective breeding project aimed at enhancing certain characteristics like flavor profile, resin production, or growth structure while maintaining the core effects of its famous predecessor.
The strain typically produces dense, conical buds that are forest green in color, often with deep purple hues brought out by cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty, crystalline appearance, and are interspersed with vibrant orange pistils. The aroma is complex and dessert-like, with dominant notes of sweet earth and dough, complemented by undertones of mint, citrus, and sometimes a faint gas or diesel note inherited from its OG Kush lineage. The flavor upon consumption generally mirrors the aroma, delivering a smooth, sweet, and slightly spicy experience.
New Cookies is noted for its balanced yet potent effects, which begin with a cerebral euphoria and creative uplift, gradually transitioning into a deeply relaxing body stone. This makes it popular among both recreational and medicinal users. The strain has gained a following in various legal markets and is often used as a parent strain in newer hybrid creations. However, due to the informal nature of some cannabis breeding and the proliferation of similarly named 'Cookies' variants, precise information about New Cookies can vary between sources and seed banks.

How do you grow New Cookies?
New Cookies is considered a strain of moderate difficulty to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. It prefers a controlled indoor environment where temperature, humidity, and lighting can be carefully managed, but it can also be grown outdoors in a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with a long growing season. The plants tend to be of medium height, often exhibiting a bushy structure with strong lateral branching that may require training (like topping or LST) to optimize light penetration and airflow. The flowering time is approximately 8 to 10 weeks indoors. Outdoor harvest in the Northern Hemisphere typically occurs in mid to late October. Yields are generally average to above average, with indoor growers reporting around 14 to 18 ounces per square meter under optimal conditions. The plants are moderately resistant to common molds and pests but require good air circulation, especially during the late flowering stage when the dense buds are prone to bud rot if humidity is too high. Nutrient feeding should be balanced, as the strain can be somewhat sensitive to overfeeding.
