Growing Tips for Animal Cookies Seeds

Animal Cookies seeds are difficult to grow and take a master level grower with tons of prior experience to bring to fruition. Animal Cookies performs well both indoors and outdoors and will grow to be medium in height. This strain prefers warmth, sunlight, and fresh air to grow to completion, even though it was first produced in the great white north of Canada. Indoor growers will need nutrient-rich soil, ample lighting, and the ideal temperature and humidity to produce favorable yields come harvest time. Outdoor growers with access to a greenhouse will have an easier time bringing this strain to harvest, as greenhouses provide a similar climate to that of an indoor grow and can be controlled. If you don’t have access to a greenhouse, then you will need to carve out a window of good weather, typically during the summertime, depending on where you live, to bring this strain to fruition. Since this strain prefers warmth and sunlight, it requires a Mediterranean-type environment to replicate its natural growing environment, but has a level of versatility that helps take some of the stress off of this grow.

Because these plants grow medium height, you will need to provide ample space for them to flourish.. If you are interested in growing multiple plants to increase your yields, then you will have to set aside the right amount of space for the roots and branches to stretch out because Animal Cookies tends to grow wider than it does tall.

Providing a consistent temperature range of 68-80 degrees Fahrenheit and ensuring relative humidity levels stay around 40-60% is critical for optimal growth. Outdoor cultivation requires a warm, humid climate with lots of sunlight to produce bud-rich plants covered in crystal resin trichomes. Topping and the Screen of Green method are the right training techniques for this specific strain of cannabis. These methods ultimately produce higher yields of high-quality buds by adjusting the canopy and strengthening the limbs of the plant so the bigger buds don’t bend and break the branches. During the vegetative stage, you should provide 18-20 hours of light each day. You will need to change the light cycle from 18-20 hours to a 12/12 cycle to induce the flowering stage of growth. This change will get you through flowering and into harvest.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Animal Cookies strain to harvest after a flowering period of 60-70 days.
• Yields: While Indoor yields are around 300 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 350 grams per plant. This strain takes a lot of time and effort to grow fully. These yield figures are worth the effort and a welcome reward for the sweat equity growers invest in this crop.
• Harvest: Outdoor grows should be ready to harvest around the end of October, depending on when you planted your seeds.

Animal Cookies Terpenes: Nutty Sweetness

The Animal Cookies terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes, and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while limonene and myrcene are the secondary terpenes.

• Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – The spicy and peppery terpene is found in black pepper, cinnamon, and cannabis plants.
