GSC reviews

In the mid-16th century, when the tulip was first introduced there, Western Europe fell in love with the new flower. The Dutch simply couldn’t get enough of the late blooming Tulip, contract prices on bulbs soared to ten times the average annual income of a skilled craftsman - for a single bulb! What goes up, must come down, and prices quickly collapsed, resulting in what many economists say is the first economic bubble. Girl Scout Cookies, allegedly a three-way cross of OG Kush, Durban Poison, and Cherry Kush (one stage of the cross being an accidental pollination from a hermaphroditic flower), was available to a few limited people who knew somebody in the Bay Area. When it first found its way to the Harborside clone counter, it was available for $50, or some such nonsense. It could be had a few weeks earlier on Craigslist for $500. Of course, counterfeits abounded, both at Harborside, and on Craigslist. I’m sure many unfortunate investors watched as their $500 cuts grew slowly (and it is a slow-growing cut) toward motherhood as prices tumbled, or cloned out their exclusive cookie cut just in time to find out it was actually sour diesel. I got mine when Dark Heart's cuts of it fell to under $20. That was a little over a year ago. Now, cookie cuts seem to cost the same as everything else does. This is an indeterminate cut, that starts a little slow, but stretches late into flower, forming solid branches, studded at intervals with dense, trichome covered buds. The leaves accumulate chlorophyll, growing deep green in the late weeks of flower, breaking to a rich purple with cooler conditions and a proper flush. Although the buds are dense, and of an easy and uniform quality, the yield is lower, due to greater spacing of individual internodes, and a lesser tendency to grow out its secondary branches. It does train well, but because of late stretch, will often grow in a taller, sparse patch, when compared to most other strains. This plant burns relatively easily, as it tends to concentrate nutrients in its fan leaves. This means that it requires both a longer flush, and a gentle hand with the bloom fertilizers. This plant, true to its origins, has shown a tendency to create the occasional staminate (male) flower, without much rhyme or reason as to its cause. These tend to form lower on the plant, in the first few weeks of flower, directly next to the stamen at the base of an internode on a main stem. They are not a cause for alarm, and will rarely pollinate neighboring plants, but they do occasionally pollinate the stamen they’re attached to. In this case, the stamen attached to the stem will begin to swell. The seeds formed will be a feminized self copy of the original plant, no more or less likely to hermie than its mother. My current cutting of cookies is actually a grown out seed from a flowered plant. I have found these seeds a few times. This plant produces almost completely dense buds when grown with a reasonable canopy depth. Waiting until the second or third week of flower to trim undergrowth will help somewhat with density, while avoiding stretch. I find that this cut takes 9-10 weeks to finish. The cured buds have aromas of menthol, lemon grass, dankness, and a hint of curacao. Early in the cure, menthol predominates, fading while the dankness increases as the cure progresses. The final effect after a few months is a minty sour diesel with extra dankness. The overall intensity of this cut is impressive, in terms of aroma, density, and potency. Any cut with such intense popularity will attract its detractors, and Cookies is no exception. This cut has several downsides: low yield, difficult stretch, a tendency to burn and a long flush time. The first batch of Cookies crosses and variants (I’ve even got a Blue Cheese x Cookies cut I worked up that shows promise) are just starting to arrive at the clone counters, and eventually we’re likely to see a cross that retains the good while losing all the bad. But for now, if you want a jar full of Cookies, you’ll have to make do.

This strain has been so hyped that I don't know if it is placebo affect or it really is as good as advertised. But started off with an amazing bodily relaxation and moved into one of the best cerebral euphoria states I've ever been in. Great hybrid that truly does affect mind and body. I love the sweet and earthy smell and taste.

One of my favorites to smoke with a few friends or unwinding after work. Amazing taste and smell, very sticky buds. High usually lasts 2-3 hours. Can give you hella munchies if you smoke too much but doesn't really seem to make you sleepy on the comedown which is a plus to me.

This is one of my favorite strains not only because of the the pungent odor (a close second to actual girlscout cookies) but its full bodied high. This stable sativa indica hybrid really does give you the best of both worlds. 9 out of 10!

I like GSC. It helps the fibromyalgia pain as well as the anxiety caused by both PTSD and Bi-polar disorder. I am praying that PTSD will be given as a legitimate reason to use medical marijuana. My PTSD is a result of sexual abuse/rapes. I began smoking pot as a teenager not really knowing at the time I was "self medicating." I began suffering flashbacks when I was 28 and the trigger was my son turn 5, the age that I was molested the first time. As I progressed into my 30s the flashbacks started and were horrible. Marijuana helped me deal with what was happening along with counseling. I stopped using pot when I was in 1999 but continued using prescription psychiatric meds to deal with my symptoms as well as pain meds, muscle relaxers, etc. Last year I went back to marijuana and when I was able to financially I got my medical marijuana card and as a result have gotten off three psychiatric meds. I still take two. Pills have caused me to have liver issues, weight gain, and other problems. I am grateful that Arizona voters saw the need for medical marijuana and voted to pass the use into law. I guess I got off the subject a bit. I do enjoy the results I get from Girl Scout Cookie and it is carried at a dispensary - Grasshopper Junction - just a few miles from KIngman.

My favorite strain for years now. Gets rid of my pain and anxiety. Recently introduced it to my girlfriend and she has found the same effects. Great strain, great smoke.

Feel like the first time I ever medicated years ago! Had to adjust my dosage to enjoy it instead of melting into the couch and sleeping. My new favorite. Would recommend highly.

Can't go wrong with the GSC. Great for my anxiety, headaches, and depression.
