Old Fashioned Cookies Strain Overview
Old Fashioned Cookies is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s as part of the popular 'Cookies' family of strains. The exact origins are somewhat debated within cannabis cultivation circles, but most sources indicate it was developed by crossing the classic Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) with an unknown indica-dominant strain, possibly OG Kush or another Kush variety. This breeding aimed to enhance the relaxing qualities while maintaining the distinctive sweet and earthy flavor profile characteristic of Cookies genetics.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a frosty coating of trichomes that give the flowers a sparkling appearance. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to sometimes purple hues, with vibrant orange pistils weaving through the bud structure. The leaves are often dark green with some purple pigmentation, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. Old Fashioned Cookies is known for its balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation.
Notable features include its complex aroma profile that blends sweet, earthy, and sometimes spicy notes, making it a favorite among connoisseurs who appreciate nuanced terpene expressions. The strain gained popularity in medical cannabis communities before becoming more widely available in recreational markets. While not as commercially dominant as some other Cookies varieties, it maintains a dedicated following for its reliable effects and classic flavor profile that many describe as reminiscent of traditional cannabis varieties with modern potency.

Old Fashioned Cookies Strain Growing Information
Old Fashioned Cookies is considered a moderate-difficulty 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 northern hemisphere climates. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures.
Indoor yields average 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. The plants tend to stay relatively compact, reaching heights of 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels (40-50% during flowering) to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture-related issues. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yield. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with particular attention needed during the flowering phase when phosphorus and potassium demands increase.
