About GMO Cannabis Strain

The aliases of GMO were coined from its unique taste features—'Garlic Mushroom and Onions (GMO)'. People tend not to call it GMO most times because GMO is also an abbreviation for "Genetically Modified Organism", and no one wants to be offered such.

The original creators of this super-strong strain are unknown, although speculations have been made, no one knows for sure.

However, the breeders knew what they wanted when this potent and flavorful strain was created.

While the origin of its creation might be cloaked in secrecy, its genetic origin isn't.

Genetical Origin of GMO Cannabis Strain

This VIP cannabis strain was created from the fusion of 2 bigwig strains, 'Girl Scout Cookies (GSC)' and 'Chemdawg'. It's not surprising how the union of these two gives us a very potent GMO strain.

It is an indica dominant hybrid that is highly adaptable with unique features that endear it to farmers and smokers alike. Several tests carried out on GMO Cookies have placed its THC to be as high as 30% which is quite odd for an indica dominant strain.

Cultivation of GMO Cannabis Strain

One of the ways the GMO strain has been cultivated is by planting a cutting from a healthy GMO plant, due to the scarcity of its seeds. Albeit, some seed banks have begun stocking the seeds in some countries.

The plant has medium size. It can be grown indoors and outdoors. And it has an average yield of 16 ounces per square meter when grown indoors, and 21 ounces per plant stand when grown outdoors.

Flowering time is at 10–13 weeks and when grown outdoors, mid-October.

GMO is an adaptable and highly resistant plant, although it can be challenging at times especially when they're not feminized. For one, the plant has a distinctive aroma that reeks of skunk and a thick growth that requires trimming at regular intervals. You have to take extra care
