Peyote Cookies

Peyote Cookies

Peyote Cookies is a cross of Peyote Purple and a Cookies-family parent, which is unusually informative as strain names go — it tells you both halves of the lineage. Peyote Purple brings the deep colour expression and a heavy indica structure; the Cookies side brings the sweet, doughy terpene profile that has made that family ubiquitous.

Reading a cross by its name

Most modern strain names are marketing, but a hyphenated or compound name that references two known parents is worth paying attention to. It tells you roughly what to expect from the nose and the structure before you have seen the flower — in this case, sweet-over-earthy with dense, colourful buds.

Colour, again from the cold

The purple in the Peyote line comes from anthocyanins, the pigment group that also colours blueberries and red cabbage. They express more strongly when a plant finishes in cool night temperatures, which is why deeply coloured phenotypes are common in Canadian-grown flower and rarer in hot climates.

Storage

Airtight glass, cool and dark. Cookies-family terpenes are on the delicate side and fade faster than fuel-dominant strains.
