The Cross
Tahitian Vanilla doubles down on the Wedding Cake and Gelato lineage. Ice Cream Cake is already a resin monster, and pairing it with Animal Cookies concentrates the same family rather than introducing an outside profile.
This pairing brings together two branches of the Cookies family.
The Parents
Ice Cream Cake is Wedding Cake crossed to Gelato #33, from JBeezy at Seed Junky Genetics. It is arguably the most commercially successful plant of the last five years, and it defined how modern exotic flower is supposed to look.
Animal Cookies is the structural half of this cross.
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, and this one runs unusually uniform. Most plants come out short, bushy and broad leaved. Because both parents pull from the same family, the pack is narrower than the parent list suggests.
In The Garden
62-70 days, finishing around day 63. Short stout plants that demand heavy magnesium through the stretch, which is the single most common failure point with this cross.
Did my standard grow package (3 weeks Happy Frog in solo, myco with transfer to 3 gal FFOF for 3 weeks, then top dress with Dr Earth every 3 weeks, Cal/Mag twice a week) and followed instructions to defoliate weeks 1, 3 & 5 of flower. No issues, hard dense nugs, solid yield. Smell of vanilla really came through final week of flower.
She grows fast 2w in veg
Last couple of days before harvest. The frostiest plant ever. Can’t wait to try this one.
Love the reverse auctions and weekend specials
I grew several different G.P. strains outdoor this year and Tahitian Vanilla is definitely in my top 3. Harvest time soon..
All four seats germinated and grew absolutely amazingly. At least three different phenotypes out of four plants. Extremely potent. Four plants yield 13 and three-quarter ounces dry.
Ran 6 & all germinated quickly, one runt out of the bunch, it still produced well. Stocky & wide, very nice flowers!
Growing good
Have not grown but ordering was seamless
Haven’t popped these yet
