Kosher Cookies by DNA Genetics

Cracked black pepper, lemon peel and pine needles are the first things out of the jar, and the Kush underneath arrives a beat later.

DNA Genetics built this from two Californian heavyweights: its own Kosher Kush, the Los Angeles clone-only OG that the breeder credits with Best Indica at the High Times Cannabis Cup in 2010 and 2011, and Girl Scout Cookies, the cut that set the tone for a decade of sweet, doughy hybrids. The cross lands at roughly 80% indica.

The breeder's own notes describe pine and lemon over a background of black pepper and warm spice. Growers add a softer, sweet dough edge on the exhale, which is the Cookies parent showing itself.

This is a calm, settled smoke rather than a racy one, according to the breeder, with a gentle lift at the start that sinks into the shoulders and stays there. Users tend to keep it for the evening and report it as a favourite for stress and for winding down after a long day, with some mentioning it for anxious moods.

In the garden it stays fairly compact and takes well to pruning and a trellis net, so it suits tents and small rooms. DNA lists 8 to 9 weeks of flower indoors and a medium yield of 300 to 400 g/m², with outdoor plants finishing between September and October. Growers report dense, orange-haired buds that can marble purple when nights turn cool.

From DNA Genetics, the Los Angeles pair who moved to Amsterdam in the early 2000s and entered the High Times Seedbank Hall of Fame in 2009.
