Let’s start with digging back a bit into the history of this cannabis genetics!

The Origins Of Platinum Cookies

Before we start this Platinum Cookies strain review, we have to say that, even though this is an Indica hybrid, this is one of the best daytime cannabis strains! The original genetics contains the famous OG Kush and the tropical Durban Poison Sativa that is known for its uplifting effects. Therefore, expect a balanced high. The Sativa gives it the uplifting feeling and mellow high, while the Indica part ensures that your body gets relaxed where you feel mellow vibrations around your body. We highly recommend it for the lovers of balanced hybrid strains!

How Platinum Cookies were developed?

The development started after the breeders decided to cross OG Kush and Durban Poison, two diametrically opposite genetics with the goal of creating the regulated high. As OG Kush originates from the Kush mountains where the Indica genetics provides strong couchlock effects, Durban Poison gives that Sativa mellow and uplifting effects that you feel in your head. As you know, both of these are highly potent. It is exactly what helped the designers to achieve the perfect balance of both landraces.

Platinum Cookies parent lineage

The breeders used male OG Kush and female Durban Poison plants, which resulted in stronger Indica effects due to the origins of the male plant. In any case, the perfectly selected examples of both species gave the outstanding results in the potency, appearance, aroma, flavor and growth aspects. Generally, thanks to the parent lineage, the plant is highly resistant. It means it can grow in sturdy and harsh terrains and climates, without too much work on it.

Platinum Cookies Effects

After a while, you become euphoric and energized, so you can stay functional during your physical activities. We can thank the Durban Poison for this.

• Relaxation

Negative sides of Platinum Cookies

When it comes to the downsides, you can expect dry mouth, red eyes and a bit of anxiety in case you are not that experienced cannabis user. Therefore, before you start the session, we HIGHLY recommend you prepare a lot of water or orange juice and some sweets so you could eliminate the negative effects of this weed and stay fresh.

Should You Choose Platinum Cookies?

In case you like a hybrid with balanced effects, yet with the great medical values, Platinum Cookies is the right weed for you! Below, we will say a few words about the look, taste, aroma and THC level so you could know more about this particular strain.

Appearance

One of the first things that you will notice is that these buds have a light green color, with some slight purple variation. Of course, the purple variation may come as a result of the low temperature during growth, but we tested several examples from different dispensaries and we had found out that these always have the color variation. Looking under a microscope, it looks like a huge giant! The pistils are wrapped and glued with sticky crystals that stay on your fingers if you do not use grinders.

Smell

Once you open the bag/jar, you will smell the pungent, peppery, citrus sweet aroma that you cannot forget! It smells like a candy that is wrapped in the THC crystals, soaked in the peppery seasons and rolled in the citrus juice! Your nose and lungs will be filled with the smell! The name of Platinum Cookies is really justified as it is a real cookie!

Taste

Upon exhaling, you can taste the fruit-like flavor! This is all due to the Indica/Kush high-terpene concentration that is an inevitable part of Kush genetics. Also, when properly cured, the buds have that distinct fuel-like aftertaste upon exhaling. Also, if you have to go somewhere after you smoke, do not forget to wash your mouth, as you will smell like a pine/kush/candy!

THC

The THC level is up to 19%, which is pretty high. It means that you can easily put yourself into the right-before-bed mood, so prepare your dosage carefully if you want to stay active.

Who Is Platinum Cookies For?

This is the strain that all Kush and Durban Poison fans have to try as it offers the best characteristics from both of the landrace genetics. The Durban Poison is a classic African Sativa with the energizing and uplifting effects, while the OG Kush is the classic Indica with couchlock effects. The combination of these gives outstanding effects. If you need something to stay functional while treating your migraines, stress, nausea, pain or anxiety, you should not look further.

What do growers have to say about Platinum Cookies?

All growers did report that you should ensure the optimal conditions when it comes to water PH, soil type and light system to get the maximum out of it. Even though you may have Indica phenotype, Platinum Cookies strain flowering time is around 10 to 12 weeks so do not rush with your harvest to get the best possible effects. In the optimal conditions, you get up to 600 grams per square meter.

Growing Platinum Cookies

Platinum Cookies require an average knowledge about cannabis grow, as it may require some additional tweaking and work around it. Though the genetics is highly resistant, you may want to protect it when grown outside, especially in the northern hemisphere. As it is partly Sativa, the rain could be the biggest problem. Therefore, pay some attention when you grow outdoors. The indoor grow is pretty easy.

Ensure that you use SOG techniques if your goal is quantity, as the multiple clones on the 2 square meters can easily produce 800+ grams! Of course, to reach this level, you need to have some knowledge about growing, but you also need a strong lighting HPS system of at least 600 watts. Then, you can expect a high yield. However, the potency will not differ if you grow it under 400 or 600-watt HPS bulbs.

Platinum Cookies And Edibles

The perfect strain for making cookies – it is not called Platinum Cookies just like that! A half of ounce would be just fine to make 15 highly potent cookies that will get you high for a couple of hours!
