Also known as: Sugar Cookie, Sugar Cookies OG
Sugar Cookies Strain Overview
Sugar Cookies is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its balanced effects and sweet, dessert-like aroma. The strain was developed by crossing two well-known varieties: Girl Scout Cookies and an undisclosed phenotype of OG Kush. This genetic combination results in a plant that exhibits characteristics of both its indica and sativa heritage, typically leaning slightly toward the indica side in its effects. The strain first emerged in the California cannabis scene around 2014-2015 and has since spread to other legal markets.
The appearance of Sugar Cookies buds is notable for their dense, chunky structure and vibrant coloration. The flowers typically display deep green hues with occasional purple undertones, complemented by a generous coating of frosty white trichomes that give the strain its sugary appearance. Orange pistils weave throughout the buds, adding to the visual appeal. The strain's name accurately reflects its aroma profile, which often features sweet, vanilla-like notes with undertones of earthiness and subtle hints of spice.
Sugar Cookies plants tend to be medium in height with a bushy growth structure, making them suitable for various cultivation environments. The strain has become particularly popular among users seeking a balanced experience that combines physical relaxation with mental clarity. While its exact genetic lineage beyond the initial cross is sometimes debated among breeders, Sugar Cookies has established itself as a reliable and consistent strain in the cannabis market.

Sugar Cookies Strain Growing Information
Sugar 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 early to mid-October 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 performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach medium height (3-5 feet indoors, 4-6 feet outdoors) and develop a bushy structure that may require pruning for optimal light penetration. Sugar Cookies is susceptible to common cannabis pests and mold in humid conditions, so proper ventilation and humidity control are essential. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields.
