Zookies
Also known as: Zoo Cookies, Animal Zookies, Gorilla Zookies
Overview
Zookies is an evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created by California-based breeders Alien Labs through crossing Animal Cookies and Gorilla Glue #4 strains. Zookies inherits the relaxing and euphoric effects of Animal Cookies and the resinous, potent nature of Gorilla Glue #4, creating a well-balanced hybrid. It is believed that Zookies was first bred in California, where many innovative and renowned cannabis strains originate. The breeders behind Zookies likely aimed to create a strain that would offer a well-rounded experience, combining the relaxing effects of Animal Cookies with the uplifting and energizing qualities of Gorilla Glue #4.
When you first look at Zookie nugs, you'll notice they're dense with lavender hues amid deep greens and sienna-colored pistils. All of these colors are coated in a fine layer of trichomes, and its buds are easy to break apart. The appearance of Zookies is visually striking. Its dense, chunky buds exhibit a blend of deep greens and purples, accentuated by vibrant orange hairs and enveloped in a generous layer of trichomes. The resin production on Zookies buds is a testament to its elite lineage, making it a prime choice for concentrate production. Zookies is considered to be a potent strain with high THC levels, which can range from 20% to 25% or even higher. Its strength can vary depending on the specific phenotype and individual tolerance, but generally, it is known for delivering a strong and long-lasting euphoric effect.

It takes the strain 56-63 days to bloom and reach maturity. The plants reach enormous heights of 60-80 inches for indoor growth conditions and more than 90 inches when cultivated outdoors. Zookies requires a warm and dry climate with plenty of sunshine. The plant can be grown indoors or outdoors, but it requires a lot of care and attention to reach its full potential. Zookies has a flowering time of around 8-9 weeks and can yield up to 16 ounces per square meter indoors and 18 ounces per plant outdoors. The reports from early growers place it as a moderately difficult strain to grow, with big payoffs. It's known for big harvests and big growth, combined with a relatively upright growth pattern. Indoor plants can reach up to six feet, while outdoor plants can reach up to eight. It's a fairly quick variety when it comes to its life cycle, completing flowering within about 9 weeks. When it's time to harvest, attentive growers can expect up to 390g/m² of mouth-wateringly sticky and fragrant flowers.
