Overview
Cookies USA is a feminized cannabis strain developed by Pyramid Seeds, representing the European adaptation of the legendary American Girl Scout Cookies genetics. This strain was created by crossing Durban Poison and OG Kush, resulting in an indica-dominant hybrid with 70% indica and 30% sativa genetics. The strain has become popular among growers worldwide thanks to its short flowering time, ease of cultivation, sweet fruity taste, and strong physical effects. Originally, the Cookies lineage first emerged in the San Francisco Bay Area at a seed bank called "Cookies Fam," with rapper Berner playing a significant role in its development and promotion.
Cookies USA exhibits distinctive visual characteristics, particularly developing very dark purple tones, almost black, at the end of flowering. Its distinctive purple tones at maturity have made this strain one of the most visually stunning in the cookies family. The buds are dense and heavily coated with resin, making them ideal for extractions and concentrates. The strain's appearance is complemented by its appealing aroma profile featuring sweet and fruity notes that are light on the palate, often described as having a cookie-like fragrance that lives up to its name.

Growing Information
Cookies USA is a productive strain yielding 300-400g/m² indoors under 600W lights with a flowering time of 56-63 days (8-9 weeks). Outdoor production can reach 0.5-1kg per plant, with harvest in September in Europe. The strain is considered suitable for novice growers due to its ease of cultivation and reliable yields. Plants develop thick stems and large indica leaves, showing resistance to temperature differences and pests like fungus gnats. The buds are extremely sticky and full of resin, requiring more drying time than regular sativa strains. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, preferring warm climates for optimal outdoor performance.
