The Cross
Apple Fritter is Sour Apple crossed to Animal Cookies, so putting it back over Animal Cookies is line breeding rather than an outcross. The Cookies material concentrates.
The Parents
Apple Fritter comes from Lumpy’s Flowers and spent years as one of the least available clones in the country.
Our read of the original Animal Cookies name: Thin Mint GSC, renamed. The cut came from Jigga and the Cookies Family‘s Bay Area circle and also carried the Platinum Cookies tag. That is the Girl Scout Cookies history we back. A new name does not prove a new cross.
What’s In The Pack
Six feminized photoperiod seeds. Heavy trichome coverage with vibrant red pistils, and vivid green leaves that take on deeper color when exposed to cold in flower.
In The Garden
56-70 days, typically eight to ten weeks depending on phenotype. Indica leaning at roughly 60/40. Not the easiest pack in the catalog, which is the usual trade in this family.
Getting frosty. Still about 4-5 weeks out. Had 2 phenos from 6 beans . All are fairly uniform. They smell of apples, citrus and pine. Very pleasant fragrance. Moderate feeders. At this point, they received 2.25-2.5 teaspoons of Gaia Green 444 and equal amounts of 284 with every watering. PH 6.5. Temp 79 at 65% humidity. Ocean Solution for micros. They are fairly hearty. They can withstand being in the high yellow on VPD, but show some signs of nutrient uptake issues. Try to stay in the green. They take low-moderate water. They don’t like the pot drying before watering, but don’t like constant heavy moisture.
These went in flower from 7-14 days apart. At this point the most purple was receiving 2 teaspoons budswell dry, 1tsp cal-mag, 1/2 tsp Epsom, 1 tsp recharge, 1 oz ocean solution, 2 tsp silica l, 1tbsp molasses. The others were receive 2tsp each gaia green 284 and 444 , 1/2 tsp budswell and the rest was same as above. My #1 is the heaviest producer. All are producing very dense, frosty buds. The most purple of the bunch was about 2-3vweeks out. The others are 7-14 days behind her. Needless to say, I’m quite pleased with the turnout and would definitely buy more Fritter Cookies. Just be careful of high temp, 81+. It could cause some unwanted issues. Actually a very easy grow.
Fritter leaning phenotype, which is what I was looking for. Great grow, short bushy plants finishing with dark purple leaves. Smells like apple fritter strain with a good mix of animal cookies. I would pick these up again when they become available. So far it has been my favorite gps strain, great bud structure , colors and amazing terpene profile.
All 6 seeds sprouted within 36 hours, so far, so good. Plants like a lot of Nitrogen and need a little extra cal-mag. Temperature sensitive, so keep them in the correct zone. Will update with pis, at a later date. Very healthy, so far.
easy to grow this was my first time trying to grow. They smelled and smoked great.
100% Germ rate so far, popped 6 seeds this run all popped. Only one of these were the Fritter Cookies. It has a nice apple fritter smell to it but you can still tell is has the animal cookies in it. It grew well with no problems…short bushy plant, dense bug structure. Of the 6 plants in the pic the Fritter cookies are bottom right. Top row is purple punch, the sweets and gg#4 bottom row is animal cookies, orange blossom special and the fritter cookies. The fritter cookies are my favorite of the 6 just going on looks and smell. Would recommend these seeds.
Very strong smoke wise and structurally wise
All 6 seeds sprouted and are doing well. Germinated FoxFarms Lightwarrior and Organic Solutions premium worm castings at a 4-1 ratio. 4 16 oz cups Lightwarrior, to 1 16oz cup worm castings. Watered with 2mil cal-mag, 2 mil silica, 2 teaspoons Azos, 1/2 teaspoon Recharge, 1/2 teaspoon Bigfoot at every watering. Starting at the drop of feeder leaves, I fed with the above+ 1/4 teaspoon Gaia Green 4-4-4 and 1/2oz Ocean Solution for micro-nutes per gallon, ph’d to 6.5. Watered with 12 oz’s solution per 1 gal pot. Upped to 16 oz’s after 2-3 waterings/feedings. Upped 4-4-4 to 1/2 teaspoon/gal, upped cal-mag and Siluca to 3mils. All else stayed the same. Temp 78, RH 65. Maintaining perfect Vapor Pressure Deficit is very important with this strain. Sprouted under 72watts T5 light. Begging under HLG 300L Bspec. Transplanted to roots organic soil and premium work castings at a ratio of 4 parts soil, 1 part worm castings.
So far so good. 5 out of 6 germinated. Growing at a decent rate under optimal conditions. Notice it says expert growers. Cookie strains and fritter strains take a lot of knowledge on what we are all trying to achieve here.
