How to grow Mandarin Cookies R1 V2
Taste
Seb's take
Ethos Cookies #12 and Mandarin Sunset R1 combine for fresh mandarin over a hashy, gassy undertone — grapefruit and grape besides. The high is uplifting, focused and creative, with a calm physical base holding it steady. Dense and resin-coated throughout, she performs as boldly as she smells.
Where it comes from
Ethos Genetics crossed Ethos Cookies #12 with Mandarin Sunset R1 for this second version — a 70/30 indica built around bold flavour and high performance. The Mandarin Sunset supplies the citrus; the Cookies supplies the resinous, gassy depth. Its dense, resin-coated buds glisten with trichomes, the record has it, so the pedigree shows in the finish as much as the flavour.
Nose & flavour
Fresh mandarin oranges at the top, over hashy gas undertones — with grapefruit and grape filling out the middle. A bright citrus lead grounded by a distinctly hashy base, the fruit and the fuel playing off one another. A loud, layered profile that leans citrus without abandoning its gassy character. Sharp and rich at once.
The high
Uplifting, focused and creative, backed by a calm physical foundation — a versatile effect, the record calls it, that offers mental uplift and a creative spark while keeping the body steady. It lifts the head without unsettling the rest, in other words. Company for getting on with something rather than sinking into the evening, and none the heavier for the indica lean.
Growing it
Flowering is quick at 60 to 63 days, with yields between 450 and 500 g/m² and THC recorded at a considerable 25 to 33%, alongside 1 to 2% CBD. No height figure is given, so judge the frame by eye and let the 70/30 indica makeup guide your training. The dense, resin-coated buds mean clean scissors will not stay clean for long. She performs as boldly as she smells, the record insists, and the numbers rather bear that out. A high-performing, resinous grow.
