Platinum Girl Scout Cookies
Also known as: Platinum GSC, PGSC, Platinum Cookies, Bay Platinum Cookies
Overview
Platinum Girl Scout Cookies is a premium hybrid cannabis strain that represents an evolution of the legendary Girl Scout Cookies lineage. This Cup-winning hybrid combines OG Kush, Durban Poison, and a third unknown strain, creating a hybrid strain with slightly indica-dominant genetics (about 60/40). Developed in Northern California by the Cookie Family collective, this strain has earned its platinum designation through its exceptional trichome production and enhanced potency compared to its parent strain. The Platinum GSC strain flaunts a heavy coat of crystal trichomes over its sage green leaves, while displaying light green buds with hints of purple and vibrant orange hairs. The strain's name reflects both its impressive visual appeal and its status as a refined version of the original GSC genetics. It has won multiple awards including a first-place win at a High Times Cannabis Cup in Denver (2013), cementing its reputation among cannabis connoisseurs and establishing it as one of the most sought-after cookie family strains.

Growing Information
Flowering time ranges from 8-10 weeks, making it a moderately quick-finishing strain. Indoor yields can reach around 12 ounces per square meter, while professional cultivation can produce 350-400 grams per square meter. Outdoor plants can yield up to 15.8 ounces per plant by early-to-mid October in suitable climates. This is a somewhat temperamental plant that benefits from experienced growing techniques. Grows best between 68-80 degrees Fahrenheit and is recommended for greenhouse gardens. Thrives in dry, warm Mediterranean-like climates with optimal temperatures of 70-85°F (21-29°C). Requires heavy feeding schedules with lots of nutrients to stay healthy. Shows good resistance to pests like spider mites but requires proper pest management. Training techniques like topping, LST, and SCROG methods are recommended to maximize yields.
