Scary Cookies
Also known as: Scary OG Cookies
Scary Cookies Strain Overview
Scary Cookies is a hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing the popular Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) with the potent Scary OG. This strain emerged in the California cannabis scene during the mid-2010s as breeders sought to combine the dessert-like qualities of GSC with the powerful effects of OG Kush genetics. The result is a strain that maintains the cookie lineage's sweet flavor profile while introducing stronger indica-leaning effects from its OG heritage.
Visually, Scary Cookies typically displays dense, chunky buds with a forest green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils. The flowers are often heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty, crystalline appearance that hints at their potency. The strain's aroma combines sweet, earthy notes with hints of gas and spice, creating a complex olfactory profile that becomes more pronounced when the buds are broken apart.
Scary Cookies has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced yet potent effects. While it leans slightly indica-dominant, it maintains enough sativa influence to provide an uplifting cerebral experience before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain's name reflects both its genetic lineage and its reputation for delivering powerful effects that can be intimidating to novice consumers.

Scary Cookies Strain Growing Information
Scary Cookies is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 3-5 feet tall, making them suitable for limited spaces. Scary Cookies requires careful attention to nutrient levels and benefits from regular pruning to improve airflow and light penetration to lower bud sites. The plants are moderately resistant to common pests and mold but should be monitored for powdery mildew in humid conditions.
