Yuzookies
Also known as: Yuzu Cookies
Yuzookies Strain Overview
Yuzookies is a modern hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing the popular Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) with Yuzu, a strain known for its distinctive citrus profile. This cross combines the potent effects and complex flavor of GSC with the bright, tangy citrus notes of Yuzu, resulting in a balanced hybrid that has gained popularity among connoisseurs seeking both recreational enjoyment and potential therapeutic benefits. The strain emerged in the mid-2010s as breeders sought to expand the Cookies family with unique flavor variations.
Yuzookies plants typically display dense, resinous buds with a structure reminiscent of its GSC parentage. The nugs are often medium to large in size, featuring a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues that develop under cooler temperatures. The buds are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and are accented by bright orange pistils. The strain's most distinguishing characteristic is its pronounced citrus aroma, which sets it apart from other Cookies varieties.
Notable features include its complex terpene profile that delivers a sophisticated sensory experience. While maintaining the earthy, sweet base notes characteristic of GSC lineages, Yuzookies introduces a prominent yuzu citrus flavor that is both tart and sweet, reminiscent of the Japanese citrus fruit for which it is named. This strain has gained particular attention in markets where unique flavor profiles are valued, though it remains less common than its parent strains.

Yuzookies Strain Growing Information
Yuzookies is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in suitable climates.
The plants exhibit a hybrid growth pattern, staying relatively compact with good lateral branching. They respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yield. Yuzookies prefers a stable environment with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity, particularly during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds. The strain can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates, though indoor cultivation allows better control over the environment. Special considerations include monitoring for pests that are attracted to citrus-scented plants and ensuring adequate airflow around the dense buds.
