GMO Cookies

Also known as Garlic Cookies or simply GMO, GMO Cookies is a strain born from crossing two powerhouse genetics: Chemdog D and Girl Scout Cookies, bringing together the best of both worlds. Originally developed by the breeders at Mamiko Seeds, our GMO Cookies comes from an elite clone that stands out for its sweet, intense flavor.

This hybrid is indica-dominant, with 90% indica and 10% sativa genetics. It has the compact structure typical of indicas, which makes it ideal for small grow spaces like a tent or closet grow. Its buds are a treat for the eyes: deep olive green, flecked with purple hues and threaded with curly orange hairs. All under a frosty blanket of trichomes that's not only beautiful but also points to a high concentration of cannabinoids and terpenes.

Flavor and effects

The flavor of GMO Cookies is an explosion of sensations. From the first toke you'll taste a blend of coffee, earthy and fruity notes, with a sweet touch that rounds everything out. But what really sets it apart is its unmistakable garlic and onion flavor, a bold combo that's unique in the cannabis world. That distinctive profile led many growers to call it the big breakout strain of 2017.

The aroma of GMO Cookies is just as impressive. It fills the room with a strong, penetrating fragrance of spice and earth, with a hint of diesel inherited from its Chemdog lineage. That complex flavor and aroma make every toke unique and memorable.

With THC of 25% to 30%, GMO Cookies delivers a strong, long-lasting effect: intense euphoria and deep relaxation that wraps up body and mind. It's perfect if you want to switch off and sink into total relaxation. Its low CBD content (less than 1%) lets the THC come through at full intensity.

GMO Cookies terpenes

The terpenes in GMO Cookies play a key role in its flavor and its effect. The standouts include:

• Myrcene: with an earthy, musky aroma, typical of relaxing, body-focused strains. It's key to the deep relaxation GMO Cookies brings.
• Caryophyllene: with a spicy, peppery aroma, it adds a warm touch that rounds out the flavor and adds to its full-bodied character.
• Pinene: brings a fresh, piney aroma and adds an extra layer of complexity to the strain’s bouquet.

These terpenes enrich the flavor and aroma of GMO Cookies and also shape its effect, giving you a complete and satisfying experience. Every toke is a sensory trip that combines the best of nature with the careful work of its breeders.

Yield and flowering time

GMO Cookies is a great choice thanks to its versatility and adaptability. It thrives in a wide range of setups and gives generous yields both indoors and outdoors.

In indoor grows, GMO Cookies has a moderate flowering time, usually 8 to 10 weeks. During this time it packs on dense, resinous buds that are a real treat. In ideal conditions you can expect around 1.5 to 1.8 oz per square foot. Techniques such as ScrOG (Screen of Green) help maximize yield and spread the light evenly, boosting the development of the lower flowers.

In outdoor grows, its performance is just as impressive. In the right climate it can reach 10 feet tall. Outdoor flowering usually wraps up in early October, so it's a great fit if you start your seeds in April and plant out after your last frost. Under full sun, each plant can produce up to 28 oz (about 1.75 lb), for a big, high-quality harvest.

GMO Cookies stands out for its resilience and toughness, so it adapts to different growing methods. Whether in indoor pots with LED lighting and good airflow or in a sunny backyard, GMO Cookies delivers a satisfying harvest. Its moderate difficulty and its ability to thrive in varied conditions make it a great addition to any collection.

How to grow GMO Cookies

GMO Cookies has a moderate grow difficulty: manageable if you're just starting out and rewarding if you already have experience. Although it's a robust, hardy plant, it needs some attention and specific care to give its best.

For the best results, keeping the climate and conditions dialed in is essential. GMO Cookies thrives in warm, sunny climates like California's or the South's. Indoors, keep daytime temperatures between 68 °F and 81 °F and a bit cooler at night. Relative humidity should be 55% to 60% in veg, drop to around 40% in flower and settle at 30% by harvest. Outdoors, start your seeds in April and make sure the plants get plenty of hours of direct sun.

GMO Cookies is known for its toughness and its resistance to the most common pests and diseases. Even so, we recommend keeping your grow clean and checking your plants regularly to catch any sign of pests or disease early. Organic pesticides and good hygiene will help you keep your plants healthy and productive.
