Take SinMint Cookies, Sin City's Forum Cookies cross, and the strain that made their name, and put it over Raskal Berries, a berry sativa that Blue Power made faster and prettier. That is Thumbprints (SinMint Cookies X Raskal Berries). One side of this is a plant Sin City have tested to exhaustion; the other is what they wanted to see it do. That is how the whole catalogue is built.

Order matters in a cross name. In Thumbprints (SinMint Cookies X Raskal Berries) the SinMint Cookies side supplied the seed and Raskal Berries the pollen, and the reciprocal - the same two plants the other way round - is a separate breeding decision with its own results.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: SinMint Cookies. Sin City's Forum Cookies cross, and the strain that made their name. Parentage: given as Girl Scout Cookies, Forum cut, crossed to Blue Power. Bred in the early 2010s, and it is the cross that took Sin City from a Las Vegas name to a national one.
• Father: Raskal Berries. A berry sativa that Blue Power made faster and prettier. It traces back to given as White Strawberry x Blue Power. The point of the cross was practical: Blue Power pulled the flowering time down and improved how the finished flower looks, without giving up what White Strawberry brought.
• Why it is worth a pack rather than a look. The two sides are far enough apart that seedlings genuinely differ. That range is the product.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Two distinct smells, and a pack will give you both plus everything between.

• The Aroma. Cookie dough with mint over a kush base from the SinMint Cookies side, against sweet berry with kush behind it from the Raskal Berries side.
• The Taste. The same - dough and mint, with kush underneath up front, turning to sweet fruit closing heavier than it starts through the exhale.

The two halves, side by side

• They are not on the same clock. SinMint Cookies runs sixty to sixty-five days, yielding three to five hundred grams a square metre; Raskal Berries runs fast - forty-five to fifty-five days. Across a pack that gap shows up as plants finishing days or weeks apart.
• Where the nose comes from. One side gives cookie dough with mint over a kush base; the other gives sweet berry with kush behind it. Plants landing in the middle are the keepers.
• Build. On the SinMint Cookies side: about sixty forty indica, with dense compact buds under trichome coverage heavy enough that they read almost white at harvest. On the Raskal Berries side: sativa-leaning at around seventy thirty, yielding four to six hundred grams a square metre. Select early rather than trying to train your way out of it.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. The two parents disagree here, so plan for range. SinMint Cookies is compact and dense, and it finishes so frosted the buds read pale. Raskal Berries is narrow-leaf leaning with strong production.
• Vegetative Phase. Top or train before you flip rather than chasing the canopy afterwards.
• Flowering Time. The parents are not on the same clock. SinMint Cookies runs sixty to sixty-five days, yielding three to five hundred grams a square metre, Raskal Berries fast - forty-five to fifty-five days. Judge each plant on trichomes rather than pulling the room together.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Raskal Berries as uplifting from the White Strawberry side, with body weight and resin from Blue Power.
• The Body. Reported in line with that. This is not a plant described as pulling in two directions.
