Origins
Born out of a combination of the legendary GSC and Tangie, Tropicana Cookies carries forward the celebrated reputation of the cookie lineage. The strain was bred by Oni Seed Company – an American seed bank known for creating potent, exciting flavoursome strains – a promise entirely fulfilled. Quickly after its release, Tropicana Cookies got the recognition it deserved, scoring the Best Sativa award at the 2019 Michigan Cannabis Cup.
Growing conditions
This flexible plant is resilient, thriving both indoors and outdoors, as long as it is provided with a semi-humid, warm sunny climate. However, ensure sufficient space – Tropicana Cookies tends to shoot up high. Early pruning and topping practices are advised, as they will result in more abundant colas and a significant increase in the final yield. It is also best to remove the lower fan leaves to avoid mildew and pest issues.
Tropicana Cookies takes 9-10 weeks to flower, and you can expect a harvest of 400-450 grams per square metre indoors and over 500 grams per plant outdoors.
