Animal Star Cookies
Animal Star Cookies
Overview
Animal Star Cookies is a 50% sativa and 50% indica hybrid strain created through crossing Animal Cookies and Stardawg. This balanced hybrid strain was expertly crafted by Greenpoint Seeds, combining two elite parent strains known for producing top-shelf cannabis. The strain has quickly risen in reputation, garnering attention in notable publications such as Leafly's America's Winning Weed Strains of Summer 2022, establishing itself as a standout in the competitive cannabis market.
The strain exhibits fluffy, hand-shaped minty green nugs with dark leaves, thick orange hairs and tiny, milky white trichomes. Animal Star Cookies is medium to tall in height, with thick stalks and broad fan leaves, producing medium-size colas that have an ideal calyx-to-leaf ratio with dense and frosty buds. The variety is rich in terpenes and flavonoids and offers a rich flavor that lingers in the mouth, tasting of cookie dough and cherry, with bitter undertones of skunk, diesel, and soil.
This unique blend combines the soothing qualities of an indica with the uplifting effects of a sativa, offering a gentle yet powerful experience that calms the body and elevates the spirit. Drawing from its parent genetics, Animal Star Cookies inherits the full-body relaxation characteristic of Animal Cookies and the mood-enhancing properties of Stardawg. The strain is particularly valued in the medical cannabis community for its therapeutic applications and balanced effects profile.

Growing Information
Animal Star Cookies is much easier to grow than Animal Cookies but can still be somewhat finicky, requiring adequate nutrition, a stable environment, and abundant lighting to reach its full potential. The strain can be cultivated indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of approximately 63 days (±63 days), though flowering length ranges from 56-70 days with finishing height of medium tall to tall, recommended for indoor growing. Indoor cultivation typically results in a flowering time of approximately 8 to 9 weeks, with properly cared-for plants producing anywhere from 450 to 600 grams per square meter in optimal conditions. Both parent strains require a plentiful source of calcium and magnesium, and Animal Star Cookies thrives when given a micronutrient-rich diet, with growers able to use cal-mag supplements or enrich soil with dolomite lime and crushed oyster shells. The strain may be somewhat susceptible to powdery mildew infections, which can be prevented by keeping the canopy thin through pruning, using oscillating fans for air circulation, and maintaining low humidity levels.
