Grapes and Cream Clone (Grape Pie x Cookies and Cream) brings Grape Pie together with Girl Scout Cookies. The first is Cannarado's grape dessert hybrid and the parent behind a long list of later crosses; the second, the specific Cookies clone that the dessert wave was built on, not the family generally. Two lines that were never going to produce a quiet plant. Dessert-forward selection, run at a pace few breeders match.

Grape Pie sits on the seed side here, Girl Scout Cookies on the pollen side. If you have seen these two names paired the other way round, that is a different pack and not this one.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: Grape Pie. Cannarado's grape dessert hybrid and the parent behind a long list of later crosses. That one comes from Cherry Pie x Grape Stomper. Cherry Pie brings the tart fruit and Grape Stomper the grape sweetness and the resin. It appeared in the mid-2010s and became one of the standard dessert parents..
• Father: Girl Scout Cookies. The specific Cookies clone that the dessert wave was built on, not the family generally. Given as 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.
• What the cross is reaching for. One side brings the structure and the other brings the nose. The plants worth keeping out of a pack are the ones that hold both rather than picking a side.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Neither parent is subtle, and the cross has nowhere quiet to go.

• The Aroma. Sweet grape with a peppery edge from the Grape Pie side, against dough and vanilla with a mint edge, sitting on OG earth from the Girl Scout Cookies side.
• The Taste. Grape and tart cherry with a sweet finish up front, turning to doughy and sweet with vanilla late, finishing earthier through the exhale.

How the two sides differ

• They are not on the same clock. Grape Pie runs eight to nine weeks; Girl Scout Cookies runs nine to ten weeks. Across a pack that gap shows up as plants finishing days or weeks apart.
• Where the nose comes from. One side gives sweet grape with a peppery edge; the other gives sweet cookie dough and vanilla cream with a faint mint, over an earthy Kush base. Plants landing in the middle are the keepers.
• Two frames in one pack. Grape Pie is dense, indica-leaning flower with strong purple expression and heavy resin. Girl Scout Cookies is tight, heavy, dense flower rather than an open frame. Decide which suits your room before you flip, because you get both.
• They pull differently. Growers put Grape Pie at relaxed and euphoric, indica-leaning and Girl Scout Cookies at even rather than racy; settling. Which end a plant lands on is the main variable.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. The two parents disagree here, so plan for range. Grape Pie is dense, indica-leaning flower with strong purple expression and heavy resin. Girl Scout Cookies is tight, heavy, dense flower rather than an open frame.
• Vegetative Phase and Stretch. Shape the plant before the flip. Correcting a frame in week six is harder work than setting it in week two.
• Flowering Time. The parents are not on the same clock. Grape Pie runs eight to nine weeks, Girl Scout Cookies nine to ten weeks. Judge each plant on trichomes rather than pulling the room together.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Grape Pie as relaxed and euphoric, indica-leaning.
• The Body. Girl Scout Cookies is reported as even rather than racy; settling, and that is the side supplying the weight here.
