Cookies and Cream is an evenly balanced hybrid (60% indica/40% sativa) strain created through a cross of Starfighter X Unknown Girl Scout Cookies phenotype. This tasty bud took 1st Place for Best Hybrid in the 2014 Denver Cannabis Cup for its insanely delicious flavor and powerhouse hybrid effects.
