Genetics
Tropicana Cookies is known for its lush vegetation, impressive sativa structure, wide internodes and huge, incredibly beautiful buds with a thick coat of fragrant trichomes. The ancestors of this strain are the legendary Girl Scout Cookies aka GSC and Tangie, both multiple winners of various international cannabis competitions. From them, Tropicana Cookies has inherited its staggering 25% THC content, stunning appearance and sensory qualities.
Flavor and Aroma
The overall organoleptic palette is shaped by the strain's broad terpene profile. These phytochemicals trigger the rich citrus aroma, complemented by a bouquet of tropical, floral and piney flavors, and enhanced by earthy and spicy notes.
Recreational and Medical Use
Given the energetic effects of Tropicana Cookies buds and their heavy psychoactive punch, inexperienced users should exercise caution and not overindulge, as the high THC content discourages excessive consumption. Experts also recommend strict dosing or even microdosing to achieve a gentle recreational and therapeutic effect. The best time to use is the first half of the day, but an evening in the company of friends (and Tropicana cookies) will also bring pleasurable feelings. The energetic sativa high gradually gives way to a calming stone that plunges you into a deep sense of tranquility. Energy, positive thinking, creativity and the ability to tackle anything is what you can expect from a trip with Tropicana Cookies as your travel companion.
Cultivation
Beginners and amateurs may face some challenges when growing Tropicana Cookies. The strain will definitely require some basic theoretical background and practical skills. Indoor cultivation will require slightly less effort. Pay close attention to maintaining an optimal environment, including proper ventilation and adequate light levels. The strain is sensitive to changes in these parameters. You'll need a medium-sized grow tent due to the strain's thick, bushy structure.
When growing outdoors, watering on a strict schedule, keeping an eye on pH and ppm levels, and using nutrients and boosters are all important. If you want a rich flavor, consider using organic fertilizers. Plant the established seedlings when the weather forecast predicts an average daily temperature of no less than 10-15 °C (50-59 °F), and the harvest will arrive at the border of September and October.
