Also known as: Berner Cookies, Berner's Cut
Overview
Berner's Cookies is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (80% sativa/20% indica) created by renowned rapper and cannabis entrepreneur Gilbert Anthony Milam Jr., better known as Berner. This strain represents a special variety of the legendary Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) lineage and was developed as part of the famous Cookies Fam collective in San Francisco. Originally created around 2008, Berner's Cookies gained widespread recognition when Berner began sharing it with high-profile musicians including Wiz Khalifa, who helped promote the strain through his music and social media presence. The strain quickly became a cornerstone of the modern cannabis industry and helped establish Berner's Cookies brand, which has since grown into a billion-dollar global cannabis empire.
Berner's Cookies exhibits the classic characteristics of premium cannabis genetics, featuring small, round, grape-shaped forest green nugs with bright fiery orange hairs and a heavy coating of tiny amber crystal trichomes. The strain is known for its complex flavor profile that combines fresh vanilla notes with nutty kush undertones, creating a distinctive taste experience reminiscent of its Girl Scout Cookies heritage. When burned, the strain releases a similar sweet aroma, though it can develop dank and pungent qualities. The strain is noted for being a "creeper," meaning its effects develop gradually rather than immediately upon consumption, making it important for users to pace themselves appropriately.

Growing Information
Berner's Cookies is considered a moderately challenging strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks indoors and is typically ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor plants reach heights of 3-4 feet, while outdoor plants can grow up to 6 feet tall. Indoor yields range from 1.5-2 ounces per square foot, while outdoor cultivation can produce 2-3 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers Mediterranean climate conditions with warm, sunny weather and performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments. Plants develop a short to medium, compact structure with thick, resinous buds. The strain requires stable growing conditions and responds well to basic training techniques. Growers should maintain proper humidity levels and good airflow to prevent mold and pest issues.
