Quick Stats
Type: Indica-dominant hybrid (approx. 60% Indica / 40% Sativa) • THC: averages 20–25% (dialled-in grows can test higher, ~27%+) • Flowering: 9–10 weeks (indoors) • Outdoor AU: late April → early May • Traits: dense, resinous buds; sweet, earthy, minty profile.
The Dynasty: Unpack the Heritage
GSC is the lovechild of two absolute powerhouses: the infamous OG Kush and the energising Durban Poison. This elite pairing took OG’s body-melting heft and Durban’s euphoric head sparkle to create a beautifully balanced hybrid that’s taken home multiple High Times Cannabis Cup trophies and a permanent spot in modern grow rooms.
Flavour & Aroma
Headline notes: mint-choc cookie, sweet dough, earthy depth. Her dense, frosty buds fill the room with fresh-baked sweetness layered over rich soil and a lift of mint. On the tongue: sugary vanilla up front, an earthy mid-palate, and a whisper of mint and pine on the exhale for a crisp finish.
Matty’s Take: “She’s the kind of strain that makes you feel like a kid in a lolly shop—but the high reminds you you’re all grown up. World-class flavour.”
Typical Terpenes
- Myrcene – body-loosened calm
- Limonene – bright, uplifted mood
- Caryophyllene – warm, spicy backbone
Effects & What to Expect
Phase One – Euphoric Buzz: Quick lift, easy grin, ideas feel shinier—great for chats, playlists, and tinkering.
Phase Two – Warm Hug: The body melt rolls in—not full couch-lock, just that “ahhh” factor. Myrcene brings the unwind; limonene keeps it bright so you stay comfy, not comatose.
Matty’s Anecdote: “We were headed out after a long day in the garden, sparked a cone, and—boom—two hours later we’re debating what the dogs are thinking. Creativity + chill = elite combo. Don’t plan to fix the shed straight after—you’ll just end up laughing at the wall.”
How to Grow Girl Scout Cookies: The Core Advice
- Grow Difficulty: Easy–Moderate (beginner-friendly if you nail airflow & training).
- Training & Yield: Top early, then LST to open the canopy. Buds get chunky—use a trellis to keep colas upright and light penetration high.
- Climate & Airflow: Loves warm, sunny runs (southern AU is mint). Dense flowers mean humidity vigilance—good airflow is non-negotiable.
Matty’s Tip: “Feed well in flower, keep soil pH 6.0–7.0 and coco/hydro 5.5–6.5. Hit the sweet spot and she sings.”
Hydro Heads: “In DWC she’s a weapon—push EC ~2.2–2.4 at peak bloom and keep pH tight for arm-thick colas.”
Advanced Grow Hack: Drop nights by 5–10 °C late flower and run ~PPFD 900 to encourage colour and trichome pop.
Matty’s Warning: “Trim in a long-sleeve or prepare to live with sticky scissors. It’s the good kind of problem—she’s a resin machine.”
🔍 Matty’s GSC Grow Log: A Peek Inside My Tent
Phase/Week | Key Action/Status | Matty’s Tip |
---|---|---|
Veg Week 3 | Bushy as a hedge—topped and spread wide. | She drinks more than you think—don’t let pots dry to dust. |
Flower Week 4 | Buds stacking; vanilla-mint aroma kicking. | Crank the carbon filter or the street will smell like a bakery. |
Flower Week 6 | Real weight showing; resin caking; K uptake rising. | Trellis now so colas don’t flop and shadow lower sites. |
Flower Week 8 | Trichomes thick and milky; sugar leaves ultra-tacky. | Alcohol wipes for scissors every 10 minutes—trust me. |
Flower Week 9 | Cooler nights bring purple expression (genetics). | Don’t misread colour as a deficiency—stay the course. |
Harvest Week | Colas finish like frosted lamingtons; cure slow. | Sticky = good. That’s resin for jars, hash, and rosin. |
