Girl Scout Cookies Auto

Description from The Cali Connection

This autoflowering hybrid combines the Thin Mints pheno of Girl Scout Cookies with ruderalis genetics for a fast-baking strain that reaches harvest in just 55–63 days from seed.

Bred by Cali Connection, this feminized strain is a cross between Pre-98 Bubba RVSD Male and Girl Scout Cookies, with added ruderalis for its auto-flowering traits. It thrives in temperate climates and is ideal for growers looking for a quick turnaround.
