Master Cookies by Mamiko Seeds

Master Cookies seeds: California Kush with a biscuit flavour

Master Cookies is a feminized strain (its seeds only produce female plants, the ones that grow buds) from Mamiko Seeds, a breeder with a long list of Cookies-family strains. On one side there is a SoCal Master Kush crossed with Red Khyber; on the other, Girl Scout Cookies in its Forum Cut (a specific, highly valued clone of this Californian strain). The result is a hybrid (a mix of indica and sativa genetics) that Mamiko Seeds describes as an indica/sativa hybrid, without giving a percentage for each side. At oaseeds we like it because it brings together two very potent lines and still keeps a sweet, tasty profile, something Kush crosses don't always manage.

Flavour, aroma and effect of Master Cookies

According to Mamiko Seeds, the flavour recalls a sweet butter biscuit with earthy notes underneath. The Cookies side brings the sweetness and the Kush adds that touch of soil. Behind this blend are the terpenes (the compounds that give each plant its smell and taste), which are very present in such a resinous strain.

The effect is powerful: a strong, relaxing and mostly physical feeling, the kind that makes you want to stay put and switch off. The breeder presents it as a strain for experienced smokers, both for its flavour and its strength, so if you are just starting out, take it slowly.

How to grow Master Cookies indoors and outdoors

Mamiko Seeds explains that it works well with different growing methods and adapts to indoor and outdoor growing. Indoors, its flowering (the stage when the plant stops growing and forms buds) lasts 55 to 60 days, a short cycle that lets you harvest early. It forms compact flowers loaded with resin (the sticky layer of trichomes, the tiny glands where aroma and cannabinoids build up). The breeder describes the yield as medium to high.

Outdoors in the northern hemisphere, it is harvested in the first half of October. Pick a sunny spot and, if your area gets a lot of rain in early autumn, protect it: such compact buds hold moisture and can catch mould. Indoors, keep the air moving in the last weeks for the same reason. Because of its abundant resin, the breeder recommends it for all kinds of extractions (concentrates made by separating the resin from the flower).
