Growing Tips for Girl Scout Cookies
Girl Scout Cookies is super-popular and one of the easiest strains to grow in the cannabis kingdom. Girl Scout Cookies marijuana plants will thrive indoors and outdoors, but have an easier time growing indoors because of the ability to completely control the climate. If you choose to grow indoors, you will have to replicate a steady environment similar to the climate of California in the summer. Girl Scout Cookies cannabis seeds grow into plants with frosty, smaller buds. The buds feature yellow and white pistils, making them appear sugar-coated from all the trichomes and hairs littering the bud site.
If you choose to grow outdoors, you will need to hope for consistent temperature and humidity to grow these plants to completion. Doing so will ensure that you grow healthy buds from the top of the plants to the buds closest to the soil. Having access to a greenhouse is the best way to give these plants the perfect outdoor climate without having to put up with unexpected outdoor variables. These plants grow from short to medium heights and can reach around 2-6 feet tall. Because the plants reach a maximum indoor and outdoor height of less than 6 feet, you can grow multiple plants in a smaller area to improve your harvests.
The ideal temperature for these plants is around 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit and slightly cooler at night. Humidity levels should be kept around 40-50% during the vegetative growth stage and the flowering stage, but lowering the humidity every week will help this plant grow. Growing indoors will ensure that the moderate humidity levels and moderate temperatures are consistent and maintained every day that the plants are in the growing stages.
Topping, Screen of Green (ScrOG), and Low-stress training (LST) methods are the best training techniques for this particular strain of cannabis. If performed correctly and at the right time, these techniques will promote bud production and increase final yields. LST manipulates the plants by tying down the branches to increase the size and density of the buds while allowing them to grow almost naturally. Topping is used to control the height of the plant and buds. The ScrOG method will help support the heavier bud sites so they don’t bend or break the branches. The Girl Scout Cookies strain requires an 18-20 hour light cycle to reach the vegetative growth stage. Changing the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle will help to induce the flowering stage of growth and get your plants to harvest.
Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest
- Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Girl Scout Cookies strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 55-65 days.
- Yields: While Indoor yields are around 550 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 700 grams per plant. These yields are massive and dense with loads of quality buds and nuggs in each harvest.
- Harvest: Outdoor growers can plan on harvesting their yields around the middle of October, depending on when the seeds were planted.
Girl Scout Cookies: Super Baked
The Girl Scout Cookies cannabis strain 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 – This is known as the spicy or peppery terpene and can be found in cloves, black pepper, and cannabis plants.
- Limonene: Secondary Terpene – Limonene is found mostly in the rinds of citrus fruits such as lemons and oranges.
- Myrcene: Mother of All Terpenes – Myrcene is earthy in scent and flavor and found almost exclusively in cannabis plants.





















I love the structure of these plants. They are short and bushy. I followed the Mediterranean climate tips and the results are showing in the plant health. The resin is sticky and the orange hairs are beautiful.
Strong roots and very healthy seedlings.
Every seed became a healthy plant.
Every plant is uniform in height. This makes managing my LED lights so much easier. The stems are thick enough to support the dense buds forming. I had a great interaction with support over the phone regarding my tracking number. They were very polite.
Healthy sprouts and very thick stems.
I am very happy with the yield. These plants are producers. The buds are dense and the trichomes are everywhere. Pacific Seed Bank has provided a very high quality product that is very stable. Five stars for the overall quality and service.
Superior genetics for an indoor tent.
I am really impressed with the root systems on these plants. They are thick and white which has translated into fast growth. I am using the 18/6 light cycle and they are thriving. A very smooth grow journey.
