Strain Type
Hybrid
Not Recommended For
Demanding cognitive work requiring precise focus; responsibilities requiring full alertness; morning use for those seeking pure energizing effects; situations where euphoric distraction would be problematic.
Lineage and Origins
Created in 2013 by Jason Dias of Lumpy's Flowers in Northern California. Cross of Sour Apple (Sour Diesel x Cinderella 99) and Animal Cookies (Girl Scout Cookies x Fire OG). Won 2nd place in Hybrids category at 2016 Northern California High Times Cannabis Cup. Originally clone-only, now available from multiple seed companies with varying expressions.
Cannabanoid Profile
THC: 22-28% (some batches exceed 30%); CBD: <1%; Minor cannabinoids: CBG and CBN may be present in trace amounts (<1%). High-potency strain suitable for experienced consumers. Potency-driven effects with minimal CBD modulation.
Comparable Strains
Animal Cookies (parent; dessert-sweet profile and potent effects; heavier sedation, less fruit-forward); Sour Apple (parent; apple and diesel aromatics with uplifting effects; more energizing, less dessert character); Wedding Cake (balanced hybrid, dessert terpenes, high potency; more vanilla/earthy, less fruit); Girl Scout Cookies (related via Animal Cookies; sweet flavor, euphoric effects; more minty/earthy profile); Apple Tartz (descendant - Apple Fritter x Runtz; shares apple flavor and balanced effects; sweeter candy notes from Runtz genetics)
Thinking about growing your own cannabis?
Cultivation Resilience
Moderate disease resistance; Requires attention to environmental controls, especially humidity management (40-50% RH in late flowering); Susceptible to moisture issues due to dense bud structure; Thrives in warm, temperate climates (70-85°F vegetative, 65-78°F flowering). Cooler nights (60-65°F) during late flowering promote purple coloration.
Cultivation Flowering Time
8-10 weeks indoors; Early to mid-October outdoors (Northern Hemisphere); Early April (Southern Hemisphere). Some phenotypes finish closer to 8 weeks, others require full 10 weeks for optimal trichome development.
Cultivation Yield
Medium yields; Indoor: approximately 400-500g/m² in optimal conditions; Outdoor: 400-600g per plant depending on environmental factors. Training techniques can significantly boost yield potential.
Cultivation Plant Structure
Compact, bushy plants with strong lateral branching; Medium height (3-5 feet indoors, 5-8 feet outdoors); Dense bud structure with foxtailing tendency; Responds well to topping, LST, and SCROG techniques. Space-efficient with respectable yields.
Cultivation Quality Indicators
Dense, tightly formed buds with generous trichome coating giving frosted appearance; Complex aroma combining sweet apple, pastry, earthy, and slight diesel notes; Deep green base color with purple hues in cooler-grown batches; Vibrant orange pistils throughout; Firm density with slight give (not rock-hard or fluffy); Sticky, resinous interior when broken apart; Strong, complex aroma persists after breaking flowers. Avoid dry, brittle, hay-smelling, or aroma-less flowers.
