Thunder Cookies
Also known as: Thunder Cookie
Thunder Cookies Strain Overview
Thunder Cookies is a modern hybrid strain created by crossing Alaskan Thunder Fuck (ATF) with Girl Scout Cookies (GSC). This pairing yields a cultivar that blends the kinetic spark of classic "thunder" genetics with the dessert-forward depth of the Cookies family, creating a strain noted for dense cookie-shaped buds and an uplifting onset that lands in a calm, cozy finish. The strain was bred in 2014 in Oklahoma City during the time the Thunder Basketball team was 2nd in the division. Thunder Cookies is classified as a slightly sativa dominant hybrid strain with a 60% sativa and 40% indica ratio.
The buds are characterized as heavy elongated forest green nugs with lots of orange hairs and a coating of frosty amber crystal trichomes. The strain has built a reputation among home cultivators and boutique producers for its vigorous stretch, robust resin heads, and terpene profiles that routinely push beyond 2% total by weight. Multiple breeders have released cuts under the same name, making documented breeding lineages inconsistent, which means two jars of Thunder Cookies purchased in different states can look and feel slightly different.

Thunder Cookies Strain Growing Information
Thunder Cookies can be cultivated indoors, outdoors and greenhouse with a flowering time of approximately 70 days (10 weeks). Most Thunder Cookies phenotypes finish in 8-10 weeks, with the bulk sweet spot at 9 weeks, and experience heaviest stretch during weeks 1-3 of flower. The strain exhibits a hybrid leaning slightly sativa in stretch and structure due to the ATF side, but with Cookies' stocky density in the flowers. Thunder Cookies is described as a very vigorous and lengthy cookie variety with heavy yield amongst all phenotypes. For outdoor cultivation in temperate climates, plant after last frost and aim for mid- to late-October harvests, choosing spots with strong midday sun and good airflow, with staking or caging advised due to late-season cola weight. Growing difficulty is considered moderate to intermediate level.
