Mandarin Cookies seeds. Just saying the name makes your mouth water a little, right? It’s got that citrusy zing, that sweet-baked edge—like someone smashed a tangerine into a sugar cookie and handed you a joint. These seeds aren’t for the faint of heart or the lazy grower. They’ve got personality. Mood swings. But damn, when they flower? Worth every second of the wait.
I’ve grown them twice. First time was a mess—overwatered, under-loved, didn’t give them enough light. They still came through, though. Resilient little bastards. Second time? Dialed it in. Topped them early, gave them room to stretch, let them breathe. The smell hit around week five—sharp orange peel, diesel, something almost minty underneath. Like your grandma’s kitchen if she was into edibles and trap music.
They’re a hybrid, sure, but lean sativa in the head. That’s where the magic is. You smoke this and suddenly your brain’s doing cartwheels. Not in a paranoid way—more like, “I should start a band. Or a food truck. Or both.” It’s creative weed. Talkative weed. But also, weirdly, chill. Like you’re hyped up but also reclining in your own skull. Hard to explain. Try it and you’ll get it.
Growing them? Indoors is best unless you’ve got a Mediterranean climate or a greenhouse with a soul. They like warmth, but not too much. Humidity? Keep it low late in flower or you’ll cry over moldy buds. And the buds—dense, frosty, orange hairs like they’ve been dipped in Cheeto dust. You’ll stare at them. You’ll take photos. You’ll show your friends like a proud parent.
THC content? High. Like, “don’t smoke this before a job interview” high. But it’s not couchlock. It’s more like—floaty. Euphoric. You’ll clean your kitchen and write a screenplay. Or just vibe out and listen to records you forgot you loved. It’s good solo. Better with friends. Best with someone who laughs easily.
Flavor-wise, it’s all over the place. First hit is citrus—bright, punchy. Then it smooths into something earthy, a little nutty, almost like toasted sugar. The exhale? That’s where the cookie comes in. Sweet, soft, a little creamy. You’ll want to lick your lips. You’ll want another hit. You’ll probably take it.
Honestly, if you’re looking for something basic—skip Mandarin Cookies. This isn’t plug-and-play weed. It’s got quirks. It demands attention. But if you give it that? If you treat it right? It’ll reward you with some of the best smoke you’ve ever had.
Or don’t. More seeds for me.
