Overview

Animal Cookies, also known as "Animal Crackers," is a hybrid marijuana strain made by crossing two legendary strains, GSC and Fire OG, created by the Canadian seed bank BC Bud Depot. It's the result of a cross between a Fire OG plant and a Girl Scout Cookies pheno that won the High Times Medical Cannabis Cup in 2013. This indica dominant hybrid strain (75% indica/25% sativa) was created through crossing the infamous Girl Scout Cookies X Fire OG strains. The original idea behind the strain was a desire to improve on the iconic classic itself, Girl Scout Cookies. In doing so a much more potent version with better yields emerged: Animal Cookies. Bred to improve the already amazing Girl Scout Cookies, BC Bud Depot increased the plant's yield and potency without touching the aroma, while giving it a better structure.

The visual appeal of Animal Cookies is undeniable. The strain's cured nuggets display a captivating mix of deep greens with subtle blue undertones, accented by striking bronze pistils. Animal Cookies has dense and chunky buds that come in a vibrant mix of deep green and purple hues. The leaves are caked in a coating of frosty trichomes as fiery orange pistils intertwene through the buds. This clone-only strain grows dense, frosty green buds tipped with purple. The aroma of Animal Cookies is as enticing as its name suggests, offering a bouquet that combines the sweetness of cherries or grapes with the comforting, rich scent of brown sugar. It emits a sweet vanilla scent, reminiscent of fresh-baked cookies. The Animal Cookies aroma is a delectable blend of sour and sweet, earthy and dank. The pungent earth wakes you up and the nutty vanilla tones set you back down again; on the exhale, prepare for a little spiciness.
