Non-GMO
Also known as: Non-GMO Cookies
What is the Non-GMO strain?
Non-GMO is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and chemical and diesel flavor profile.
Non-GMO is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Exotic Genetix. It is a cross between GMO Cookies (also known as Garlic Cookies) and an undisclosed, carefully selected Chemdawg phenotype. The strain's name, an acronym for 'Genetically Modified Organism,' is somewhat ironic, as it is bred through traditional methods rather than genetic engineering, and is often interpreted as a playful nod to its potent, complex genetic heritage. It gained popularity in the 2010s for its exceptionally high THC content and distinctive, pungent aroma, becoming a favorite among connoisseurs and medical users seeking strong effects.
The strain is characterized by its dense, resinous buds that exhibit a deep green color with occasional purple hues, often covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes and vibrant orange pistils. The aroma is notably intense and complex, dominated by a savory, garlicky, and diesel-like scent with underlying notes of earth and spice, which translates into a rich, gassy flavor with a slightly sweet, chemical aftertaste. Its appearance and smell are considered hallmark traits, making it relatively easy to identify.
Non-GMO is renowned for its powerful, long-lasting effects that begin with a cerebral, euphoric rush, often described as spacey or psychedelic, before settling into a deeply relaxing, full-body stone. Due to its high potency, it is generally recommended for experienced consumers. The strain has received acclaim in cannabis competitions and is frequently used in breeding projects to enhance potency and flavor profiles in other hybrids.

How do you grow Non-GMO?
Non-GMO is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for intermediate to advanced growers. It has a flowering time of approximately 9 to 10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late October. The plant tends to be medium to tall in height, often requiring some height management techniques like topping or low-stress training (LST) to control growth and improve light penetration. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, but indoor cultivation is preferred for better environmental control, especially to manage its strong odor with carbon filters. Yields are generally moderate to high, with indoor growers expecting around 14 to 18 ounces per square meter under optimal conditions. The strain thrives in a stable, warm climate with good airflow to prevent mold, given its dense bud structure. Special considerations include its pungent aroma, which necessitates odor control measures, and its sensitivity to overfeeding, requiring careful nutrient management.
