Cookies family strains and lineage tree

Girl Scout Cookies (often shortened to GSC or Cookies) became one of the most copied modern dessert-flavor lines. Growers and breeders treat it as a dynasty more than a single cut: phenotypes and crosses spread quickly through the 2010s.

Most published accounts describe GSC as OG Kush × Durban Poison. Treat that as the commonly reported cross, not a lab-verified pedigree for every Cookies-named cultivar on the shelf.

The line is known for dense resin, sweet dough and mint-leaning aromas in many cuts, and a huge downstream tree that includes Gelato, Wedding Cake, Runtz-adjacent work, and dozens of dessert hybrids.

When a Cookies-branded strain lists incomplete parents, mark them Unknown rather than guessing. Local trees beat giant unverified graphs.
