How to grow Cookies USA
Taste
Seb's take
Durban Poison and OG Kush produce a strong indica here, colouring toward deep purple, almost black, in the most resinous buds. Sweet and fruity on the nose; the high is relaxed, calming and euphoric, keeping you productive rather than pinned to the sofa. Easy to grow, fast to flower, and honest about what she offers.
Where it comes from
Pyramid Seeds crossed Durban Poison with OG Kush to make a strong indica, 70% of it, with deep purple tones bordering on black in the most resinous buds. The Durban side lends the vigour and the clarity, the OG Kush the weight and the colour. A striking plant on the eye, and one gaining a reputation the world over, in the record's phrase, for ease of cultivation and short flowering times.
Nose & flavour
Sweet and fruity, an uncomplicated and agreeable profile rather than anything heavy or pungent. The record keeps the notes brief, and the plant lets its looks do much of the talking. A clean, pleasant nose sitting atop some of the most dramatic colouring in this list, deep purple against white trichomes.
The high
Relaxed, calming and euphoric, but crucially one that keeps you productive rather than pinned to the sofa, drawing its character from both parents. The Durban side keeps the head clear while the OG Kush settles the body, a combination more functional than sedating. Deep body relaxation, in short, without surrendering the whole afternoon to it.
Growing it
A feminized plant at 25% THC, with a listed 1% CBD, so a strong one worth metering out. Flowering runs a fast 53 to 63 days, eight or nine weeks, part of the reputation she is building. Height holds at a tidy 80 to 100cm. The reward is the colour, deep purple bud bordering on black against white trichomes, a genuine beauty. Yields are modest at 300 to 400 g/m², the honest trade for the speed and the looks. Easy to grow, quick to finish, and handsome with it.
