Caryophyllene (dominant - spicy, peppery notes); Myrcene (dominant - earthy, musky undertones, sedative potential); Limonene (dominant - citrus brightness, mood elevation)

Pinene (alpha and beta); Geraniol; Humulene; trace amounts of Bisabolol, Eucalyptol, Carene; creates distinctive garlic, mushroom, onion character with coffee, diesel, sweet earthiness

Deep physical relaxation with mental lucidity; gentle sustained euphoria and contentment; pain relief for chronic pain, inflammation, arthritis, migraines, neuropathy; effective sleep aid that quiets racing thoughts; notable appetite stimulation (intense munchies); stress and anxiety reduction; enhanced creativity and problem-solving in initial phases at moderate doses; peaceful satisfaction with present moment

Total duration 2-4 hours for most consumers; vaporization at 350-385°F preserves terpenes, 385-410°F extracts more cannabinoids; combustion produces fuller immediate effects; water filtration preserves flavor; edibles/tinctures extend duration to 6-8 hours with 45-90 minute onset delay

Initial effects within 5-10 minutes: subtle pressure around temples and eyes (headband effect); mental fog lifts with euphoric clarity and heightened focus; within 15-20 minutes body high intensifies with warmth spreading from core outward; muscle relaxation progresses sequentially; creative thoughts flow easily during first hour; after 60-90 minutes sedative qualities become more pronounced

Dry mouth and dry eyes (near-universal, intensity proportional to amount); mild dizziness or disorientation during onset; anxiety or paranoia with overconsumption, especially for less experienced users or those sensitive to high-THC; increasing sedation with higher doses potentially creating mobility challenges or excessive drowsiness; requires respect for potency with small starting amounts (1-2 inhalations, wait 15 minutes)

Indica-Dominant Hybrid

Morning use for productivity; situations requiring physical coordination, quick reflexes, or sustained mental focus (driving, operating machinery, complex professional tasks); high-energy social situations; first-time cannabis users; those with low THC tolerance without gradual introduction

Cross of Chemdawg D (or Chemdawg) and Girl Scout Cookies Forum cut; bred by Mamiko Seeds (Spain), though some sources credit breeder Skunkmasterflex with discovering this phenotype; GSC lineage traces to Durban Poison x OG Kush; Chemdawg discovered at 1991 Grateful Dead concert; GMO acronym stands for Garlic, Mushroom, Onion referring to savory aroma; Divine Genetics later created similar Chem Cookies variant

THC: 20-30% (most batches 22-25%, exceptional grows above 30%); CBD: minimal, typically below 1%, often near-zero; CBG: trace amounts, rarely exceeding 1%; high-potency profile focused on THC expression; individual batches vary by 5-8% depending on cultivation and harvest timing

Girl Scout Cookies - parent strain, similar terpenes and THC, more balanced 60/40 ratio with less sedation and sweet/minty flavors vs savory garlic; Chemdawg - parent strain, diesel/funky aromatics and mental clarity, more balanced or sativa-leaning with energetic creative effects; Chem Cookies - nearly identical genetics (Chemdawg #4 x GSC), different phenotype with subtle terpene variations and slightly less garlic note; Point Break - indica-dominant with similar sedation and 23% THC, citrus/tropical flavors vs savory, purely physical relaxation; White Tahoe Cookies - GSC descendant with sweet/earthy flavors, incorporates Tahoe OG (pine/lemon notes), 18-23% THC with more balanced effects

Decent resilience with stable environmental parameters; struggles with humidity fluctuations or temperature extremes; pH management critical (6.0-6.5 soil, 5.5-6.0 hydro); heavy feeding requirements during flowering (phosphorus and potassium rich); dense bud structure vulnerable to bud rot in humid conditions; pest prevention through cleanliness, airflow, regular inspection more effective than reactive treatment

8-10 weeks (most phenotypes finish around 9 weeks); outdoor harvest mid-to-late October in Northern Hemisphere; moderate timeline in flowering duration range

Indoor: 400-600g/m² (1.3-2 oz/sq ft) under strong lighting and optimal conditions; Outdoor: 450-600g per plant (16-21 oz), exceptional grows higher; generous resin production popular for concentrates

Notable stretch during pre-flowering (potentially doubles in height); final indoor heights 100-120cm (3-4 feet); outdoor plants 150-250cm (5-8+ feet); moderately compact structure with strong lateral branching; prefers warm, dry conditions especially during flowering; requires humidity at 50-60% vegetative, 40-50% flowering with excellent air circulation; moderately challenging, suitable for experienced cultivators

Extremely dense buds requiring effort to break apart; thick trichome coverage creating frosty white appearance; prominent curly orange pistils; deep green with purple accents; intense immediate aroma (garlic, diesel, coffee) when container opened; sticky with resin but not wet or overly dry on touch; bold complex flavor with distinct savory inhale and smooth coffee-tinged sweet exhale; no harshness or muted flavors
