Tuff Cookie
Also known as: Tough Cookie
Tuff Cookie Strain Overview
Tuff Cookie is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Exotic Genetix. It is a cross between the popular strains GSC (formerly known as Girl Scout Cookies) and Animal Mints. The strain was created to combine the potent, euphoric effects and complex flavor profile of GSC with the robust structure and resilience of Animal Mints. Its name reflects its hardy nature and the sweet, dessert-like aroma inherited from its Cookie lineage. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Tuff Cookie has gained recognition within enthusiast circles for its balanced effects and quality genetics.
The plant typically exhibits a dense, indica-dominant structure with vibrant green buds that are often heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Orange pistils are commonly interspersed throughout. The buds are known for their density and stickiness, a trait passed down from its GSC parent. The aroma is a complex blend of sweet, earthy, and minty notes, with undertones of gas and spice, making it a flavorful experience for users.
Notable features of Tuff Cookie include its relatively high THC content and its balanced hybrid effects, which tend to initiate with cerebral euphoria before settling into a relaxing body sensation. It is considered a moderately potent strain suitable for evening use. The 'Tuff' aspect of its name may refer to its reported resilience during cultivation, making it a potentially suitable choice for growers seeking a robust plant with desirable Cookie-family traits.

Tuff Cookie is generally considered a strain of moderate difficulty to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. It has a flowering time of approximately 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. The plant tends to exhibit a bushy, indica-dominant structure and can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors in a warm, Mediterranean-like climate. Indoor yields are typically moderate to high.
