Strawberry Short Cookies
Also known as: Strawberry Shortcake Cookies, Strawberry Cookies
Strawberry Short Cookies Strain Overview
Strawberry Short Cookies is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing two popular strains: Strawberry Cough and Girl Scout Cookies. This combination creates a well-balanced hybrid that inherits desirable traits from both parent strains. The strain first gained popularity in the early 2010s as breeders sought to combine the uplifting cerebral effects of Strawberry Cough with the potent, relaxing properties of Girl Scout Cookies. It has since become a favorite among both recreational and medicinal users for its pleasant flavor profile and balanced effects.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance. The flowers are often lime green with vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives them a frosty, crystalline appearance. The buds are usually compact and resinous, with a structure that resembles its Girl Scout Cookies parent. When properly cultivated, the nugs develop purple hues in cooler temperatures, adding to their visual appeal. The aroma is immediately noticeable upon opening a container, with sweet berry notes dominating the initial scent.
Strawberry Short Cookies is known for its complex terpene profile that creates a multi-layered sensory experience. The flavor begins with sweet strawberry notes on the inhale, followed by earthy, doughy undertones reminiscent of its Cookies lineage on the exhale. The smoke is generally smooth and not overly harsh, making it accessible to users with varying experience levels. The strain's balanced genetics make it versatile for different times of day, though many users prefer it for afternoon or evening use when its relaxing properties can be fully appreciated without causing excessive sedation.

Strawberry Short Cookies Strain Growing Information
Strawberry Short Cookies is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 14-16 ounces per square meter. Outdoor plants can yield 16-18 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
The plants tend to grow to a medium height, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. They respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields and manage height. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. Indoor growers should maintain temperatures between 68-80°F (20-27°C) and humidity around 40-50% during flowering.
Special considerations include providing good air circulation to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to bud rot in humid conditions. The plants benefit from regular feeding with balanced nutrients, though they are not particularly nutrient-hungry. Some phenotypes may show nutrient sensitivity, so it's advisable to start with lower nutrient concentrations. The strain's colorful expression is enhanced by cooler nighttime temperatures during the final weeks of flowering.
