There are two very different things inside Girl Scout Cookies x Apple Fritter. Girl Scout Cookies, the Forum cut, which most of the modern dessert category descends from. And Apple Fritter, a Sour Apple and Animal Cookies cross that earns the pastry comparison instead of just borrowing it. Every parent CSI use is a cut they keep alive themselves, so nothing in this pack is a reconstruction of a famous name.

Written this way, Girl Scout Cookies is the mother and Apple Fritter the pollen donor. Reversing a cross is not a formality; which plant carries the seed shapes what comes out of the pack.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: Girl Scout Cookies. The Forum cut, which most of the modern dessert category descends from. That one comes from generally given as OG Kush crossed to a Durban line; the Forum cut was an S1 found in bagseed and circulated through the ICMag forums around 2010. CSI publish a caution that their Cookies hybrids can express instability under some conditions while still producing plenty of good plants.
• Father: Apple Fritter. Sour Apple over Animal Cookies, and one of the rare dessert names that actually smells like its namesake. Parentage: Sour Apple x Animal Cookies.
• What to expect across a pack. Two distinct parents means real variation in frame, finish and nose. Select early and take cuttings off anything you would want again.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Expect the profile to move plant to plant rather than settle.

• The Aroma. Sweet cookie dough and vanilla cream with a faint mint over an earthy Kush base from the Girl Scout Cookies side, against warm apple and sweet dough, with just enough fuel under it to stop it going flat from the Apple Fritter side.
• The Taste. Doughy and sweet with vanilla late, finishing earthier up front, turning to baked apple and dough with fuel behind it through the exhale.

How the two sides differ

• Timing splits the pack. One parent wants nine to ten weeks, the other eight to ten weeks. Expect the fast plants down well before the slow ones are ready.
• Where the nose comes from. One side gives sweet cookie dough and vanilla cream with a faint mint, over an earthy Kush base; the other gives baked apple and sweet dough with a faint gassy edge underneath. Plants landing in the middle are the keepers.
• Two frames in one pack. Girl Scout Cookies is tight, heavy, dense flower rather than an open frame. Apple Fritter is dense flower from the Cookies side; suits indoor or outdoor. Decide which suits your room before you flip, because you get both.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. The two parents disagree here, so plan for range. Girl Scout Cookies is tight, heavy, dense flower rather than an open frame. Apple Fritter is medium-sized, dense and resinous.
• Training. Worth the effort early - it is the difference between an even canopy and three colas and a lot of leaf.
• Flowering Time. The parents are not on the same clock. Girl Scout Cookies runs nine to ten weeks, Apple Fritter eight to ten weeks. Judge each plant on trichomes rather than pulling the room together.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Girl Scout Cookies as even rather than racy; settling.
• The Body. Apple Fritter is reported as even rather than racy; settling, and that is the side supplying the weight here.

In the pack

7 feminized seeds per pack. Feminized seeds from Humboldt CSI. Humboldt CSI are preservationists before they are breeders - most of what they release is a clone somebody has kept alive by hand for years, put into seed so it stops depending on one grower staying in the game. That is what you are buying into here. Real Humboldt CSI stock, not a copy.
