Potential Negative Effects of Animal Cookies

The Lineage of Animal Cookies

Animal Cookies is the offspring of the beloved Girl Scout Cookies and Fire OG strains. Unlike most real-life celebrity offsprings, Animal Cookies can stand on its own. Most Animal Cookies variations lean towards the indica side. The strain was originally a byproduct of Canadian grower's BC Bud Depot's experiment to improve the already impressive Girl Scout Cookies strain.

Animal Cookies adds Fire OG, a powerful OG strain known for its scent and flaming red hairs, to the mix to craft an almost overwhelming hybrid high. The infamous effects of Girl Scout Cookies can foster a naturally euphoric, cerebral high that adds to Fire OG's relaxing nature.

Growing Animal Cookies

Animal Cookies nuggets tend to be as dense and packed as the dough of its moniker. The strain is said to have attractive and compelling jar appeal. Animal Cookies buds are often sticky and coated with amber trichomes, which can cultivate a yellow-hued appearance.

Orangish-red hairs, the pistils from male plants, noticeably stand out against the green and occasionally purple-tinted appearance. Before consuming, Animal Cookies emits a skunky, sweet aroma with simultaneously dank and piney hint.

BC Bud Depot recommends that Animal Cookies seeds are grown in indoor operations. On average, it takes plants 9 to 10 weeks to flower. Home growers report that Animal Cookies produces light to moderate yields. Growers can tell when the plant is ready to flower by its scent and colorful appearance.
