Girl Scout Cookies x Cheese Feminized

True, growing marijuana is not as simple as buying it at your local dispensary. Thankfully, though, there are strains like Girl Scout Cookies x Cheese Fem that make it as easy as possible. This balanced hybrid inherited strong Indica genes that produce a hardy and resilient plant that even novices will have no trouble cultivating. It is compact in stature, resistant to common pests and diseases, and generates a moderate to high yield with the minimum of care.

This cannabis shrub has a thick foliage of fat, dark green leaves. The structure of the branches makes it suitable for low-stress training (LST), but at the same time, they are sturdy enough to hold up the weight of heavy, densely packed buds. These buds will emerge as pine cone-shaped nuggets covered with frosty white trichomes, giving the entire plant a shimmering, snowcapped appearance. Russet-orange pistils are scattered throughout to break up the uniformity. 

In addition, this strain has the potential to transform its look due to the presence of anthocyanins. These are pigments that can create purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures. Although they do not affect the weed’s potency, they add enormous bag appeal to the already desirable nugs. 

The best temperature range for growing this hybrid is between 21 and 26 degrees Celsius (70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit). As for the relative humidity (RH), it should be relatively low at 40 to 50%. This is a photoperiod strain, so it will know that it is time to start flowering when the daylight hours get shorter. 

GSC x Cheese melds the best possible effects of Indica and Sativa. The initial hit is a high-flying euphoria that leaves negative thoughts behind. After a few minutes, you will experience some sensory enhancement, making colors seem super vivid and music extra stirring. This psychedelic journey may not be for everyone, but for those who are open to it, it leads to philosophical musings and artistic endeavors.

Simultaneous with this cerebral high is a physical buzz that is intensely relaxing but not couch-locking. On the contrary, you will be encouraged to move around. It is recommended that you remain in familiar and soothing surroundings, as the kaleidoscopic version of reality could cause confusion and sometimes, paranoia.

As the effects slowly fade, your body will start to feel heavy and sluggish. At this point, the prospect of sleep will become irresistible. Therefore, the perfect time to enjoy this strain is in the evening. This gives you the opportunity to make the most out of the trippy effects before going to bed afterwards for a well-deserved rest. 

GSC Cheese is a rather rare hybrid, but its parents are among the most popular and in-demand at dispensaries. The mother, Girl Scout Cookies Fem, is famous for the flavor that it is named after, but its therapeutic potential is also noteworthy. This Indica-leaning strain has a remarkably high THC content of 28%, not for newbie recreational users but particularly effective for the treatment of acute pain and anxiety disorders.

In the other corner, we have the father, Cheese Fem. This Skunk #1 and Afghani descendant is an acquired taste, but enthusiasts can’t get enough of the pungent, sour milk bouquet. It also has potent Indica effects that create immense tranquility, often inducing deep slumber. A favorite of insomniacs, its moderate THC range of 15 to 20% will not cause a psychedelic trip like GSC Cheese.

If you are interested in expanding your collection, another Indica-heavy strain is Northern Lights Fem. This weed’s flavor is refreshing and ethereal, transporting you to the magnetosphere. The ideal growing climate for this multi-award winner is Southern Spain or North Africa, but it easily adapts to an indoor environment.

However, if you want a Sativa strain for more diversity, try Moby Dick Fem. This tall and lanky plant is ideal for a SCROG setup that encourages it to grow more colas. The additional bud sites will generate plenty of orange-dotted weed, ensuring an endless supply. This strain’s gargantuan THC level of 27% creates an uplifting and energetic high. After a relatively short 9 to 10-week flowering period, your efforts will be rewarded by a whale of a harvest: 650 grams (23 ounces) per square meter.
