Also known as: Nookies OG
What is the Nookies strain?
Nookies is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Nookies is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeders at Exotic Genetix. The strain was created by crossing the popular Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) with the potent OG Kush, resulting in a balanced hybrid that combines the best characteristics of both parent strains. Nookies emerged in the early 2010s as part of the 'Cookies' family expansion, gaining popularity in California before spreading to other legal markets. The strain represents a deliberate breeding effort to create a reliable, high-quality hybrid with consistent effects and flavor profiles.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that display a striking appearance with deep purple hues often visible beneath a thick coating of trichomes. The nugs are typically medium to large in size with a tight, compact structure. Leaves may show various shades of green with occasional purple or blue undertones, while orange pistils weave throughout the buds. The visual appeal is enhanced by the heavy trichome coverage that gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance.
Nookies has gained recognition for its complex aroma and flavor profile that combines sweet, earthy, and diesel notes. The strain's effects are typically described as balanced, providing both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. Growers appreciate Nookies for its relatively straightforward cultivation requirements and reliable yields, making it accessible to cultivators of various experience levels. The strain has maintained consistent popularity in legal markets due to its predictable effects and appealing sensory characteristics.

How do you grow Nookies?
Nookies is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. 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 optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outside. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture issues. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with particular attention needed during the flowering phase when phosphorus and potassium demands increase.
