Milk N' Cookies

Milk N' Cookies or Indica-dominant Hybrid (approx. 60/40 or 70/30) is a strain that typically contains THC levels between 20% – 27% (Select phenotypes test up to 30%+) and CBD levels ranging from Low (< 1.0%). Known for its Dessert-Gas (Sweet vanilla, nutty, fuel/funk) profile, this strain has a growth expectation of being Medium (Indoor: 3–5 ft; Outdoor: 6–8 ft with veg time) in height, with a nutrient demand that is Moderate to Heavy (High Nitrogen in Veg; High P-K in Flower).

This Indica-dominant Hybrid (approx. 60/40 or 70/30) is of the Genetype: Cookies 'N Cream x Triple OG. The Milk N' Cookies strain has 3 phases of the growing cycle.

The first phase is the Seedling Phase. Once you have decided to grow Milk N' Cookies in either soil or hydroponiclay, the ph levels need to be monitored. The ph level desired by Indica-dominant Hybrid (approx. 60/40 or 70/30) is 6.0 – 6.8 and 5.5 – 6.0 hydroponically. During this infancy stage, Milk N' Cookies needs to maintain a target temperature of 70°F – 82°F (21°C – 28°C) for 2 to 3 weeks. Once the seed germinates, it will sprout it's first set of round leaves, or the cotyledons. If you are able to maintain the target humidity of 50% – 65%, the iconic serrated leaves will just begin to show themselves. During this critical Phase 1 of the Indica-dominant Hybrid (approx. 60/40 or 70/30) growing cycle the plant is establishing a strong root sytem. Beginners often over water these fragile seedlings. Do not drown your seeds. You seedling Milk N' Cookies needs care and gentle light. The recommended light cycle for growing Milk N' Cookies is 18/6 (Standard Photoperiod) for the first cycle, which should last .

The next is the Vegetative Phase. The Milk N' Cookies will focus entirely on size and structural integity. The temperature needs also change for phase 2. If a target temperature of 68°F – 80°F (20°C – 26°C) is maintained and a target humidity of 40% – 50% (Crucial to prevent bud rot in dense flowers) is achieved, the Indica-dominant Hybrid (approx. 60/40 or 70/30) will grow stems, branches and plenty of large fan leaves. This Cookies 'N Cream x Triple OG is trying to build it's own solar panel of leaves to absorb energy. It is critical to maintain a proper light cycle of 12/12 for the entire phase 2 schedule. This consistent energy will help plant grow bigger without producing flowers, focusing it's energy on growing tall and strong. Milk N' Cookies is at it's most resilient and may grow quickly. As phase 2 comes to an end, it may be topped or tied down, as it's training suitability is considered High (Responds well to Topping, LST, and ScROG).

The most exciting phase, when growing Cookies 'N Cream x Triple OG is the Flowering Phase. The plants adulthood lasts . It is at this phase that the light cycle changes for the last time. Milk N' Cookies will produce the most flowers when the light cycle is 12/12. Keep the temperature and humity controlled at 65°F – 75°F (18°C – 24°C) and 35% – 45% so you can really watch this plant strecth and almost double in height. It will want to start producing early into the flowering process.

You will know the Milk N' Cookies is ready when the white hairs (pistils) turn amber/brown and the resin glands (trichomes) look milky or cloudy, rather than clear. Cutting the plant down even a week too early can significantly reduce the potency and weight of your harvest. Patience in the flowering phase will provide the best possible outomce of Indica-dominant Hybrid (approx. 60/40 or 70/30) with a desired gorwth profile that will be:
Bushy, spade-shaped buds, heavy trichome production

Growers Notes: Hobby Grower’s Expert Notes
The "Cold Finish": This strain is known to produce beautiful purple and blue hues if you drop the night-time temperatures by 10-15°F during the final 2 weeks of flowering.

Airflow is Vital: Because the buds are exceptionally dense and "rock-hard," they are prone to internal mold (Botrytis) if humidity spikes. Keep multiple oscillating fans at canopy level.

Defoliation: It has broad "indica" fan leaves. I recommend a heavy defoliation at Day 1 and Day 21 of flower to ensure light reaches the lower nodes, as this strain can get quite "leafy."

Aroma Management: During weeks 6–9, the "gas" profile becomes very pungent. Ensure your carbon filter is fresh, as the smell will permeate a home easily.
