Tahoe Animal
Also known as: Tahoe Animal Cookies, Tahoe Animal OG
Tahoe Animal Strain Overview
Tahoe Animal is a potent hybrid cannabis strain that represents a cross between two well-known West Coast varieties: Tahoe OG and Animal Cookies. This strain emerged from the California cannabis scene in the early 2010s, combining the relaxing qualities of its indica-dominant parent Tahoe OG with the euphoric, creative effects of Animal Cookies. The result is a balanced hybrid that has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its complex effects and flavor profile.
Visually, Tahoe Animal typically produces dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance. The flowers often display deep green coloration with purple and blue undertones, complemented by vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty trichomes. The buds are usually compact and tightly packed, reflecting its indica heritage. The strain's aroma is complex, combining earthy, piney notes from its Tahoe OG lineage with sweet, cookie-like undertones from Animal Cookies.
Notable features of Tahoe Animal include its high THC content, which regularly tests between 20-28%, making it one of the more potent hybrids available. The strain has gained particular recognition in the medical cannabis community, where users report it may help with various conditions. Its balanced genetic profile allows it to provide both physical relaxation and mental stimulation, making it suitable for daytime or evening use depending on individual tolerance and dosage.

Tahoe Animal Strain Growing Information
Tahoe Animal is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for intermediate to experienced growers. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready around mid-October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plants tend to grow to medium height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Tahoe Animal can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with consistent temperatures and low humidity during flowering. Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and careful nutrient management as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. Training techniques like topping and low-stress training can help maximize yields and manage height.
