Smarties
Also known as: Smartiez, The Smarties
What is the Smarties strain?
Smarties is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 27.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and candy flavor profile.
Smarties is a cannabis strain created through the crossbreeding of Blue City Diesel and Girl Scout Cookies (GSC), originally bred by Kush4breakfast in the Pacific Northwest region. While some sources attribute its development to a collaboration between Cookies and Connected Cannabis Co., the lineage remains consistent across all accounts. The strain features a balanced genetic profile that leans slightly indica-dominant at approximately 60% indica and 40% sativa. Smarties gained notable recognition after winning third place for Best Hybrid Flower at the 2018 High Times Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam.
The strain captivates with its distinctive, multi-colored buds that showcase a rich olive green base punctuated by striking purple spots, with medium to large-sized, pebble-shaped formations enhanced by long orange hairs and a coating of frosty, purple-tinted white crystal trichomes. Smarties offers a memorable sensory profile combining tart berry flavors with candy-like sweetness, subtle hints of mint and dough on the finish, and pronounced diesel undertones, accompanied by a lightly earthy overtone in its aroma. The visual profile has been compared to the vibrant packaging of the popular candy it's named after, with bright, almost iridescent hues reflecting its hybrid vigor and balanced genetic heritage.
