"Alien Cookies is a descendant of the almighty Cookies family of cannabis strains. Bred in America by a low-profile breeder, Alien Cookies boasts pungent aromas, old-school flavors, and a happy, carefree stone. Keep reading to learn all there is to know about Alien Cookies. History of the Alien Cookies Cannabis Strain Alien Cookies is a cannabis strain created by Jaws Genetics (also known as Jaws Gear), a cannabis breeder with over 20 years of experience growing and breeding weed. While highly respected by many growers, Jaws is a fairly low-key breeder. Besides the odd forum and social media post, Jaws doesn't have much of a digital footprint. Nonetheless, his strains have attracted a strong, almost cult-like following among breeders and growers. Genetic Lineage of Alien Cookies Animal Cookies is a hybrid strain bred from GSC and Alien Dawg. GSC, formerly Girl Scout Cookies, is one of the most famous cannabis strains of the last decade. Bred by The Cookies Fam (the predecessor to the almighty Cookies cannabis brand), GSC introduced cannabis users to a whole new array of flavors and aromas. It produces light green flowers with an iconic aroma dominated by a sweet earthiness reminiscent of cookie dough, highlighted by contrasting notes of pine and mint. Its genetics come from OG Kush and F1 Durban—two A-grade strains in their own right. While it first hit the streets over a decade ago, GSC is still a highly sought-after strain loved by smokers from all walks of life. Meanwhile, Alien Dawg (also known as Aliendawg and Alien Dog) is a hybrid strain descending from Chemdog and Alien Technology. While the exact origins of Alien Dawg aren't known, the strain has been attracting a growing body of smokers with its musky, sour aroma and soothing effects. Alien Dawg usually hits hard and fast, leaving users in a heavy state of bliss. Inexperienced smokers may need to take a nap after enjoying this heavy hybrid, while seasoned tokers will want to sit back on the couch and watch a good movie. Physical Characteristics of Alien Cookies Alien Cookies has all of the appeal of a good indica-dominant hybrid. The strain produces short and stout plants with brawny branches and luscious, dark green leaves. In bloom, Alien Cookies plants grow heavy with thick indica nuggets. As they mature, Alien Cookies plants may turn a deep, blackish purple. The ripe flowers boast out-of-this-world looks, featuring large, tight stacks of bulging calyxes, bright orange pistils, and a sugary coating of resin that gives the buds an almost metallic sheen under the light. Properties and Effects of Alien Cookies Alien Cookies, like other strains in the Alien lineage, boasts hard-hitting effects.
