Astral Cookies
Overview
Astral Cookies is a balanced hybrid strain developed by Span Lion Genetics, created through crossing Astra Ape (Stardawg x GG4) with Puffo Gelato. This strain emerged as part of a new wave of cultivars aimed at balancing both therapeutic and recreational properties, showcasing a fusion of indica and sativa genetics. The strain exhibits a unique cannabinoid profile with an approximate 1:1 THC to CBD ratio, making it an excellent candidate for individuals seeking therapeutic benefits without overwhelming psychoactive effects. The buds display a striking visual appeal with dense structure typical of indica genetics combined with the airy, spaced-out nature sometimes seen in sativa-dominant plants, creating ideal morphology for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The aromatic profile is dominated by a striking citrus scent with subtle earthy undertones that create a multi-layered olfactory experience reminiscent of a fine, gourmet blend.

Growing Information
Astral Cookies can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of 8-9 weeks (approximately 60 days). The strain thrives best in nutrient-rich soil with organic compost and balanced pH levels between 6.0-6.5. Indoor growers should provide minimum 600 watts HID lighting per square meter or full-spectrum LED systems. Hydroponics is also suitable and can yield cannabinoid profiles comparable to soil-grown plants. Plants generally reach optimum bud density within the 8-9 week flowering period. Proper light management can boost yield by up to 20% while enhancing terpene and cannabinoid production. The strain responds well to integrated pest management strategies and shows good resistance when proper cultivation practices are followed.
