Mendo Cookies

Mendo Cookies is an indica-dominant hybrid built on Girl Scout Cookies (GSC). AllBud lists it as 75% indica and 25% sativa, and describes narrow, spade-shaped forest green buds with orange hairs and a frosty coat of trichomes. Sources disagree on who made it, so the name may cover more than one cut.

Genetics and History AllBud gives the parentage as Girl Scout Cookies crossed with Mendocino Purps. The seed breeder Twenty 20 Genetics lists a different, more detailed line on its Seedfinder entry: (Mendo Cookies F5 x GSC) x HPRC GSC, with the male line coming from The Whip! x Sour Snow crossed to GSC. Seedfinder describes it as a direct descendant of the original GSC, bred over five or more generations and then backcrossed to a clone of the original. We have not confirmed which of these accounts matches the Mendo Cookies sold in a given shop.

Potency AllBud lists average THC at 15% to 25% and does not list CBD. One AllBud reviewer reported about 20% THC in their batch. Treat any single figure as a rough guide and check the lab results on the package you buy.

Aroma and Flavour AllBud lists berry, fruity, grape, nutty, spicy and sweet flavours, with berry, earthy, fruity and grape aromas. Seedfinder describes the breeder's version as having a baked-goods and kerosene aroma with a slight coffee finish, heavy resin production and purple colouring that can deepen in cold autumn nights.

Reported Effects AllBud reports effects of Calming, Happy, Relaxing, Tingly and Uplifting. Its description calls the high slow-building, starting with a calm, happy headspace and moving into a warm, tingly body relaxation. These are reported impressions from the listing and its reviewers, not medical claims, and individual experience varies.

Growing AllBud provides no grow data. Seedfinder lists Twenty 20 Genetics' version as indica dominant with an average yield and a flowering time of 9 to 10 weeks, suitable indoors or outdoors, with outdoor plants doing better under light deprivation. Those figures describe the breeder's cut specifically.
