Also known as: Garlic Cookies, GMO Cookies, GMO Garlic Cookies
Overview
GMO, also known as Garlic Cookies, is a potent indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained significant popularity in the cannabis community. Created by crossing two legendary strains - Chemdawg and Girl Scout Cookies - this strain exhibits a 90% indica and 10% sativa genetic ratio. Originally bred by Mamiko Seeds, though some sources credit Divine Genetics, GMO has become renowned for its exceptional potency and unique characteristics. The strain gets its name from its distinctive flavor profile reminiscent of garlic, mushrooms, and onions, not from genetically modified organisms. GMO produces dense, resinous buds with deep green coloration often tinged with purple hues, covered in a thick coating of white crystal trichomes and bright orange pistils. With THC levels typically ranging from 20-30%, this strain is considered best suited for experienced cannabis users due to its intense effects and potent nature. The strain has earned a reputation as one of the most sought-after indica-dominant hybrids for its deeply relaxing properties and complex savory flavor profile.

Growing Information
GMO is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, best suited for experienced growers due to its specific environmental needs and long flowering time. The strain thrives in warm, humid environments with temperatures ranging from 70-80°F. It requires consistent pruning to allow proper light penetration and air circulation. Indoor cultivation has a flowering time of 9-10 weeks, while outdoor harvest typically occurs in late October. The strain produces medium yields - approximately 1-2 ounces per square foot indoors and up to 2-3 pounds per plant outdoors under ideal conditions. Plants typically grow to short to medium height. Due to its strong, pungent odor, proper ventilation systems are essential for indoor grows. The strain prefers slightly acidic, nutrient-rich soil and requires 18-24 hours of light during vegetative phase and 12 hours during flowering.
