Tropicana Cookies parent- GSC
GSC, formerly known as Girl Scout Cookies, is an OG Kush and Durban Poison hybrid cross that gives Tropicana Cookies it’s sweet and earthy notes. GSC, like its offspring, also has consistently high THC levels for long-lasting effects.
GSC shares other traits with Tropicana Cookies like strong euphoric effects for a sense of bliss, happiness and peace. However, it diverges from its progeny with its full-body relaxation instead of an energetic high.
GSC is also sought more for chronic pain and mental conditions than is Tropicana Cookies. This award-winning strain is a perfect balance to the other parent of Tropicana Cookies, Tangie.

The high sativa influence of Tropicana Cookies comes directly from the mother of the hybrid, Tangie. Tangie is a straight sativa strain made by crossing California Orange and Skunk-1.
Both Tropicana Cookies and its mother exhibit high levels of citrusy limonene for an extreme head high. Both mother and child feature dense, dark purple buds, streaked with fiery hues and glistening with rich terpene profiles.
