Mandarin Cookies: Explosion of citrus terpenes

Mandarin Cookies by Philosopher Seeds (GSC Forum x Mandarin Sunset) stands out for its powerful aroma of freshly squeezed orange juice with a sugary nuance coming from the pollen-receiving female: the elite clone Girl Scout Cookies (Forum), so Mandarin Cookies becomes one of the sweetest and most citrusy varieties in the Philosopher Seeds bank catalog... those who are passionate about this type of terpene will always look for any excuse to enjoy its company!

Mandarin Cookies is a plant that responds very well to all types of crops, but in those that are 100% organic, it will express all its aromatic potential, displaying a range of highly intense nuances. In general, a high percentage of individuals finish their flowering with a colorful appearance, providing a plus to the flowers and giving them an appearance worthy of the best cannabis cups.

Indoors it does not show great growing difficulties, being a very grateful plant that prefers light feeding. The flowers have excellent quality due to their organoleptic and visual attributes, with averages of up to 600 g/m2 in indoor crops in approximately 9 weeks in a 12/12 cycle. Outdoors, a suitable location, and a large number of hours of direct sun allow it to express itself without major difficulties, crossing the barrier of half a kilo per plant and developing great resistance to pests.

Mandarin Cookies is a variety of marijuana for those looking for a powerful fruity and sweet terpene. Citrus aromas such as orange and tangerines have a strong presence, with some phenotypes that are not suitable for those who prefer a less intense terpene profile.

Pure Michigan by Philosopher Seeds: Rocky buds and super stoned effect

Pure Michigan already has a large number of followers in the USA (Michigan); It is a very popular strain in dispensaries mainly due to its prominent presence at the most important events. Pure Michigan is a cross between Oreoz (Cookies & Cream x Secret Weapon) and Mendobreath F2, a work between two prestigious breeders: ThugPug Genetics and 3rd Coast Genetics.

Oreoz is a tasty plant, with intense sweet milky terpenes, where earthy and chocolate nuances appear that remind us of the famous cookies to which its name refers. Oreoz can reach 30% THC and produces very tight buds with a dark and rocky appearance, from which an excellent resin with an exquisite texture emanates for the production of any type of concentrate, making it a plant with prodigious attributes for production. of flowers and extracts, a hybrid with clear commercial intentions. For its part, when hybridized with Oreoz, the Mendobreath parent adds flavor, robustness to the structure, and provides more compactness to the flower, maintaining the aromas of the Cookies family.

With a parent like Pure Michigan in hand, the Philosopher Seeds bank has chosen to hybridize it with one of the most renowned American elite clones, Gorilla Glue #4, since the aroma of GG#4 does not have a strong invasive character in the offspring while reinforcing yield, resin production, and flower density with a final result of buds that look like pure rocks. Pure Michigan by Philosopher Seeds has stratospheric resin formation with 5-star results in hash and rosin (great return).

It can be germinated early into spring and obtain an extra harvest before the photoperiod varieties begin to flower and be able to enjoy its fruits, its strong energetic push, and its happy effect in the middle of summer.
