Genetics of the Animal Crackers Strain
Animal Crackers cannabis seeds were created by combining two of the most popular cannabis strains available, GSC (OG Kush x Durban Poison) and Fire OG Bx3 (OG Kush x SVF OG). This rich family tree is full of California classics, with a lot of OG Kush genetics ensuring a euphoric buzz and a slew of classic yet modern flavors.
Growers benefit from the inherited characteristics of this marijuana strain as well, with this heavily backcrossed offering producing an excellent yield of dense, heavy buds with surprisingly little gardening effort!
Terpene Profile of the Animal Crackers Strain
Connoisseurs will recognize the primary terpenes at work in this Cannarado Genetics Girl Scout Cookies x Fire Og Bx3 strain, with the earthy, herbal notes of myrcene very apparent on the exhale, giving that skunky, Afghan strain-like scent that we all know and love.
The Girl Scout Cookies parts of the heritage also have a lot to do with the flavors and aromas, with the vanilla, cherry, citrus blend with a slightly nutty aftertaste on the inhale coming from the popular combination of limonene and caryophyllene, which is also found in Sunset Sherbet and other Cookies strains. On exhale, caryophyllene provides a slight spicy tickle on the lips. It’s a familiar flavor profile, to be sure, but it has its own distinct personality.

Effects of Animal Crackers Strain
With a THC content that approaches 25%, you can expect a fast-acting, heavy-hitting high from this hybrid strain. While the Kush and Cookies characteristics provide an energetic, euphoric, and creative high, these cerebral effects are balanced by a substantial full-body relaxation.
This is an excellent creative strain, ideal for an evening of entertaining conversation and sporadic giggle fits with a few good friends. The buzz’s final stage chills both body and mind, preparing you for a restful night’s sleep! Be aware that there have been isolated reports of side effects such as dry eyes and dry mouth, so proceed with caution!
Medical Advantages of the Animal Crackers Strain
Animal Crackers is one of the most popular medical cannabis strains among experts, and for good reason. The high THC content, combined with caryophyllene and other dominant terps, is said to provide intense pain relief, even for those suffering from fibromyalgia and other chronic pain conditions.
However, that is only the tip of the iceberg; the medical marijuana properties provided by cannabinoids and terpenes are also said to help with insomnia. Not only does it promote sleepiness, but it also reduces stress and anxiety, which can cause problems falling and staying asleep.
Animal Crackers Strain Seeds: How to Grow Them
Indoor growers of these feminized cannabis seeds should have a hearty harvest of golf ball-sized, frosty trichome-tipped buds adorned with a sea of orange pistils and some dark purple hues in 9-10 weeks from germination. The growing characteristics are very simple, which is usually reserved for autoflower strains! Both SOG and SCROG growing methods should be effective for these marijuana seeds.
Outdoor growers of Cannarado Genetics’ feminised seeds (autoflowering and regular seeds are not currently available) will need to be in a very warm, Mediterranean-type climate with hotter-than-average early winters, or use a greenhouse. Expect strong, relatively tall plants that benefit from trellising and the occasional trim. When October harvest time arrives, expect a high yield and a lovely sweet and sour aroma to greet you!
