There are lots of cannabis enthusiasts out there whose ears will perk up as soon as they hear the word “cookies” associated with any cannabis strain.  So, it’s no wonder why Cherry Cookies has become a hugely successful cultivar in recent years.  This indica-dominant hybrid has it all, from a flavor profile that makes the mouth water, to a high that gets you feeling blissed-out on a whole new level.  That right there is why we gotta explore this strain more vividly, so read on if you want to understand what its effects are, what it tastes like, and its overall, fascinating genetics.

Starting with the Basics on Cherry Cookies

Before we dive into the effects and flavor of Cherry Cookies, we want to take a look into its unique genetics and its impressive lineage, as that can help you determine whether or not its “specs” match what you’re looking for.  An indica-dominant hybrid, Cherry Cookies is 70% Indica / 30% Sativa, so you’ll still get a good deal of sativa influence in your experience.  This strain comes from crossing Cherry Pie with Girl Scout Cookies #2, and this makes for a seriously successful cultivar, as its parents are two of the most sought-after strains around.  A super rare strain in a bud form, Cherry Cookies yields about 14%-23% THC.

Wondering what its buds look like?  Well, they’re quite small, and densely packed, with a round shape to them.  The rich forest green color is covered in muted amber hairs which are fairly fine, and a nice coating of golden trichomes that give it a milky rather than a crystallized appearance, because the trichomes themselves are quite small.

Its Flavor & Aroma Notes

Cherry Cookies happens to be one of the tastiest strains that you will ever have the pleasure of partaking in, and that’s not surprising considering its name or its ultra-delicious parents.  The flavor has a smooth, nutty, and creamy foundation to it that makes it taste like freshly baked cookies, while notes of rich and sweet cherries complete the flavor profile.  The aroma is much earthier, and has skunky notes along with hints of florals, plus a more diverse variety of berries.

Growing Cherry Cookies

Growing cherry cookies involves several steps to ensure successful cultivation, along with some trial & error.

1. Choose Your Growing Space: Decide whether you'll grow indoors or outdoors.  Indoor cultivation allows for better control over environmental factors like temperature, humidity, and light cycles.  Outdoor cultivation relies more on natural conditions but can yield larger plants.

2. Select High-Quality Seeds or Clones: Obtain cherry cookies seeds or clones from a reputable source. If you're a beginner, clones might be a better option as they offer genetic consistency and skip the germination phase.
3. Prepare the Growing Medium: Whether you choose soil, hydroponics, or another medium, ensure it is well-draining and nutrient-rich. For soil, a mix of potting soil, perlite, and vermiculite works well.
4. Germinate Seeds (If Applicable): If starting from seeds, germinate them using a method of your choice, such as the paper towel method or directly planting them in a seedling tray.
5. Transplant or Plant Clones: If using clones, transplant them into your growing medium once they have developed roots. If using seeds, transplant seedlings once they have a few sets of true leaves.
6. Provide Proper Lighting: Indoors, use high-quality grow lights such as LED, HPS, or CMH lights. Outdoors, ensure your plants receive plenty of sunlight, preferably 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
7. Control Environmental Factors: Maintain a consistent temperature between 70°F -85°F (21-29°C) during the day and slightly cooler at night. Keep humidity levels around 40-60% during the vegetative stage, and lower to 40%-50% during flowering.
8. Watering and Nutrients: Water your plants when the top inch of the soil feels dry, being careful not to overwater. Use a balanced nutrient solution during the vegetative stage and switch to a bloom formula during flowering.
9. Training and Pruning: Consider techniques like topping, low-stress training (LST), and defoliation to manage plant size, improve light penetration, and maximize yields.
10. Harvesting: Cherry cookies typically flower in 8-10 weeks. Harvest when the trichomes (tiny resin glands) turn cloudy or amber-colored, indicating peak THC levels. Also, make sure to trim the buds carefully.
11. Drying and Curing: Hang them to dry in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated space. After drying for 7-10 days, place the buds in glass jars to cure. Burp the jars daily for the first week to release excess moisture, then gradually decrease burping frequency over the next few weeks.

Note: By following these steps and paying close attention to the plants' needs, along with regularly inspecting your plants for signs of pests such as aphids, spider mites, or fungus gnats, as well as common diseases like powdery mildew or botrytis, then you can successfully grow cherry cookies cannabis.  Remember, too, that each grow is a learning experience, so don't be afraid to experiment and adjust your techniques for the best results.Top of Form

Who Will Most Appreciate Cherry Cookies?

Cherry Cookies is a wonderful choice for anyone who:

• Is a fan of Cookies strains and its relatives.
• Craves some indica-leaning hybrid effects.

• Is seeking out a euphoric high.
• Wants to enjoy a creativity boost.

All About the High

Now, let’s get into the fun part.  Cherry Cookies delivers a high that any fan of GSC is almost certain to fall in love with, thanks to the clear similarities in genetics.  The high is quite heavy-hitting and fast-acting, in all of the right ways, as within moments of exhaling, a huge rush of euphoria crashes into the brain like a tidal wave, making you feel both giddy and simply content.  The mood-lifting effects alone make this extremely worthwhile, but that’s not all.  The high is said to be super creative, and you may find yourself quite energized for the beginning of it.  Before long, though, the body high kicks in, and while it’s not the heaviest of all time, it can still make you feel lazy, like you just want to stay put on the couch for a while, enjoying the tension releasing in your body.  This is not a couchlock strain, but laziness is common.
