Zookies Strain Review and Valuable Information
THC
CBD
Potency
Zookies is another heavily-weighted strain that is evenly blended (50 Indica /50 Sativa) to deliver you to the furthest destinations of your spirit. Originated from Gorilla Glue #4 (GG4) and Animal Cookies it is a child of Alien Labs. This strain will hit hard, and not only because it has some inherited parent qualities. Zookies strain is high in THC with 23 - 27%, which makes it great for social occasions or deep meditating and spacing out. However, it is not the best choice for novice users. As for CBD, its amount is just 0.25 - 0.56% and it’s way too little for claiming that it even has it as it’s so insignificant.
Taste and Smell
The aroma of this hybrid is early-dominant, with peppery notes, orange, and sour fruits tints, and you can also feel the diesel and nutty presence in it. It is all wrapped in the cloud of cookie smell that makes this strain a gourmand-leaning one. It has a distinctively sweet, peppery, a bit spicy, and earthy flavor that doesn’t stay for a long time. It also has a characteristic bitterness of the hemp and, unlike with Sunset Sherbet, you can really taste it. Aside from genetics its cedrene, bisabolol, caryophyllene, linalool, valencene terpenes that influenced the strain’s aromas and taste.
Common Effects of Zookies Strain
Consumers report Zookies weed to produce such effects:
- strong body high
- relaxing
- blissful calm
- energizing
- uplifting
- extreme socializing
- sleepy (especially if new to the cannabis world)
As any other representative of the weed family whose THC level is higher than 15%, Zookies strain has limited medical applications. The reason for this is that it has a very powerful cerebral effect, and it causes temporary changes in your psychic state. However, there are a few cases where the usage of Zookies is absolutely needed as an additional treatment (but you should consult your doctor first). That includes:
- Cramps (especially for women who are on their period)
- Insomnia
- Chronic pain
- Depression (small doses, preferably in the form of edibles)
- Nausea
- Muscle spasm (especially after intensive straining)
The most common negative effect when ‘overdosing’ is falling deadly asleep, especially if this is your first time smoking pot. Other side effects may include dry eyes, cottonmouth, lack to focus and anxiety. Consumers who find this strain is too mild, better choose London Pound Cake, as it has similar effects, but has a higher level of THC.
Tips to Grow Zookies Weed Strain
Before buying seeds, which are not the cheapest on the market, you need to know the peculiarities of the cultivation that this hybrid has to make sure you produce the best thing for yourself or your customers.
It grows best outdoors under the natural conditions of the equatorial / Mediterranian climate with mild humidity and a lot of shadows. However, it doesn’t mean that Zookies strain has less yield or grows bad in the greenhouses, though we need to warn you: if you live in a naturally cold climate, that can cause a pretty a lot of damage to the budget as maintaining those conditions for 9-10 weeks will cost some money, so in case you’re not going to sell it, there is a little reasoning for cultivating it and makes much more sense to just buy the dry flowers or edibles.
In terms of height and width, it takes those from both worlds: they are pretty tall and moderately wide. You need to know about it before getting ready for planting. 1 bush usually makes 200-220 grams of dry flowers.

Contrary to what so many people believe, dry mouth after smoking a joint is normal. All you need is something to eat shortly afterwards. It could be a sweet or even a glass of water. Some people eat actual food and their salivary glands get booted back to work almost immediately. and they still get to keep their cloud nine high.
Even after all my years smoking pot some strains sneak up on me and leave me like WTF. this is one of them. See i believe in myself greatly when it comes to tackling highly potent strains. So when i strated hitting my bong, i was pretty sure i'd get to work on some of my projects before bed. Funny thing is i did open the page and I did read the first few sentences then i crashed bad. Turns out i smoked too much of it and one of its side effects is deep slumber!
I have come across some Zookies cookies that were subpar for my taste but then later i learnt that not allof its seeds develop into highly potent buds. Some stay in the 15% ranges which is not that bad. What i want to know is how to grow them to get the higher potencies. Maybe in the 24 and 23% levels.
Such depth in the aroma department. When i first inhaled from my blunt i could swear i felt some tints of orange then everything got really pungent and nutty. Then as i was exhaling i coul have swore there were some peppery tones. Overall, i enjoyed the tactile exploration and will be having a repeat of the same once I get home later tonight.
Not a newbie strain and the potency will tell you why, or make you feel it.
im a junkie and coke is usually my refuge but zookie is on another level
Gives you good energy, makes you creative and hyper active. Wanna get shit done and you just too lazy to? Try zookies. You an introvert with no friends, do zookies. Just a few smokes and y’ll talkative and friendly. Let loose a lil and enjoy life. Do zookies!
Here is something o pop your brains out. I love everything about this drug. From the smell to the taste. I just love it. Instantly relieves cramps and if you are like me then you know how painful these things are. Do edibls if you want something for depression or anxiety.
what a hit! Everyone I know is doing it. You are yet to have the best marijuana experience if you are yet to try this. You have chronic issues, relieves it, you’re bored and low, uplifts you. I only smoke this on occasions, wouldn’t want to get used to the feeling. It’ll be unexciting.
Just a 2 for me. I don’t wanna be paranoid. I jus wanna feel good and at peace!
Zookies! The pungent taste drives me crazy. You are not uptodate if you have not tried this. I started using it for medical purposes, but now im hooked. Gives you just the right high, calms your gut and life is just fantastic with this strain.
Simply divine

Im trying to grow need info on da strain please
hands down, this is so far my #5 favorite strain. The high is good though I have seen better but it gets you focused. 3 hours after smoking and Im feeling all good and relaxed.
I agree with Barbara, this strain is a balanced hybrid and is somewhat a sedative. It causes you to sleep. It is however a gaaad strain as it is uplifting and gives you creative ideas. I vaped a gram of it and I was filled with all positive ideas. I highly recommend it.
My favorite strain so far, it gets me high even on small doses. I smoke on a daily basis and I only have to fill my bowl once to get high. There is no mention of it causing sleepy even on Leafly. I feel sleepy after a while and I get knocked out for the entire night.
so boom, uplifting and nerve wrecking. higher does can be psychedelic.
energizing
Well I am currently growing eight zookies outdoors and they are one of the hardest plants I've ever grown in 18 years but it looks immaculate, hope it is!
Vaping this strain is so cool gets me so high
Amazing taste and flavor I like it
I love the pleasant smell and flavor. Clears my mind making me focus on my portraits. Am an artist and it has helped me draw the most magnificent portraits in my gallery.
Makes you talkative good for partying
So relaxing and calming was so impressed
The best marijuana strain for relaxation. Leaves you feeling so much better. Its has a nice body high.
My best pot for relaxing. It has a strong body high and good for evening chilling. Leaves me feeling so relaxed and eases fatigue. Its a nice way to end a long day or when you just want to clear your mind. Has a great sour taste which is quite satisfying when exhaled.
The best strain for relaxation.
First time I tried I blacked out!
My favorite strain to relieve period cramps and uplift my spirit. I no longer worry about mood swings again.
Awesome strain helped me deal with stress. Its has a calming effect and uplifts my spirit. The best thing I can use it anytime of the day.
Good strain for relieving cramps and migraines
Has a smooth smoke and goes well along with coffee. Its energizing and motivating prepares me for along day ahead. Having a similar routine everyday can be boring but not with Zookies. Makes me jovial and looking forward to start my day in a positive way.
Great smoke gives you a full body high
Love the strain so energizing and motivating
A great taste with a powerful high!
I tried this strain in a water bong, it offers a smooth hit that lasts long.
My favorite go-to flower! I highly recommend it.
A good strain for evening use. It leaves you relaxed and a bit energetic without getting you into a couch lock. It keeps you creative, energetic and focused. I was able to write 10-pages essay while on this pot. It's a great bud, I highly recommend it.
A great strain for any time of the day!
The best marijuana strain for a good couch lock. It is best for managing pain too.
A very potent flower that gives you a full body high. It also leaves you aroused!
One of the dopiest buds I have ever smoked!
I tried this weed for the first time yesterday and I was impressed. It didn��t leave me paranoid as is usual with new strains.
A good wake and wake strain.
Great smell
flavorful ascent
Very enjoyable in the vape but not a strain I could smoke everyday due to the dominance of the sweetness.
Awesome smoke
Takes the edge off
It is hands down the most distinctive tasting strain I have ever had.
The flavor was on point when I vaporizer it and it gives you that wide awake zingy sativa buzz.
This strain is out of this world it's one of the only weeds i actually like
pros - amazing taste and smell. great sativa effects cons - not quite as high thc as i would like
