Zookies Strain — Get Lifted With the Zestiest of Cookies

When you’re looking for a balanced, relaxing high that’ll get you just energized and focused enough to tackle your to-do list, give the Zookies strain a try.

This balanced hybrid bud (sometimes referred to as Zoo Cookies) is pretty potent, but its effects are levelheaded enough for daytime use. And although Zookies delivers the soothing body high that’s typical of a strong indica; it’s widely known for giving users a functional, creative, motivating push that’s great for staying productive.

Zookies Strain Information

Zookies is 50% indica and 50% sativa with an average THC content of 23% to 25% and almost no CBD. This strain produces a super-uplifting high that kicks off with a fast-hitting rush of mental euphoria that’ll bliss you out for hours on end.

A calming body buzz that’ll relax you from head to toe quickly follows, but it’s not so soothing that it’ll sedate you. While this bud’s indica effects are definitely pronounced, its sativa side is strong enough to keep you from sticking to your couch.

Both medical and recreational tokers turn to Zookies when they’re looking for a plant-based fix for pain, cramps, nausea, depression, stress, muscle spasms, social anxiety, and low appetite.

Where The Zookies Strain Is Grown

The breeders at Alien Labs came up with Zookies when they crossed two widely loved, award-winning strains, Animal Cookies and Gorilla Glue #4.

Zookies Strain Aroma

You’ll recognize Zookies by the signature aroma, even when it’s still in bud form. This strain mostly tastes like freshly baked peanut butter or almond cookies. Aside from a nutty and sweet smell, it also has a hint of diesel that becomes more prominent in the flavor. The sweet smell is part of why it’s also known as Zoo Cookies. The flavor is more sour and spicy, but you won’t necessarily smell these details as much as you’ll taste them.

How to Grow the Zookies Strain

This strain prefers outdoor growing in a climate that is not too humid. A Mediterranean climate is preferred so that it doesn’t become affected by disease brought on by high humidity. You can grow Zookies in a greenhouse, but it needs a longer growth period of 10 weeks or more when cultivated that way.

The Full Flavor Terpenes of the Zookies Strain

Linalool provides the citrus flavors you’ll experience but keeps them mild enough they’re not that dominant in the aroma. Bisabolol contributes some of the nuttiness and sweetness, which is further reinforced with plenty of caryophyllene. Valencene rounds out the profile with spiciness and woodiness.

Three Strains Similar To the Zookies Strain
