Overview
Platinum Cookies, also known as "Platinum Girl Scout Cookies," "Platinum GSC," and "PGSC" is a popular hybrid marijuana strain and the next evolution of GSC. This Cup-winning hybrid—a cross of OG Kush, Durban Poison, and a third unknown strain—is an evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain created through crossing the classic OG Kush X Durban Poison strains. The parent strain was developed in Northern California by a collective called the Cookie Family, whose genetics have come to dominate the West Coast cannabis market. Cookies is the strain (cultivar) that made the collective famous, with Platinum Cookies being the latest in a series of delightful offshoots, including its close cousin Thin Mint Cookies.
Platinum Cookies buds have dense dark olive green nugs with dark amber hairs and a super thick coating of tiny bright white crystal trichomes that cover each and every inch of the nugs. It is known for its signature mix of orange, purple, and dark green an the fuel-like aroma that is reminiscent of the finest OG strains. This hybrid strain packs a punch with its impressive THC content, typically ranging from 17% to 26%. Such high levels of THC contribute to its potent effects, making it a favorite among experienced users seeking powerful relief from chronic pain, stress, and anxiety. Platinum Cookies is a cupwinning variety and won the 1st Place at the Santa Cruz Cup 2013 in the category Outdoor - Indica, submitted by Kind Peoples Collective!
