GMO strain history

GMO is a phenotype of Mamiko Chem Cookies seeds, selected by Skunkmasterflex. Contrary to what some say, GMO does not stand for "garlic, mushrooms, and onions" but it was named after Skunkmasterflex saw a headline about Girl Scout Cookies containing genetically modified (GMO) products! The “Garlic Cookies” nickname stuck, and breeders used it for other garlic-themed strains.

Although other breeders released their own version of the Chem Cookies strain, it’s the Mamiko Seeds GMO cut that stuck around and is now found on the market worldwide! Today, both recreational and medical users love GMO for its power and distinctive smell.

GMO strain THC and CBD levels

The GMO strain packs a serious punch with THC levels ranging from 22% to 30%, making it one of the most potent strains out there—definitely not for beginners! Its high THC content delivers an intense, long-lasting high that’s perfect for experienced stoners seeking a powerful experience. If you want to know the exact THC and CBD quantities present in your GMO, try the THC/CBD-QTest by miraculix! While the GMO cannabis strain is low in CBD, making it better suited for those chasing psychoactive effects rather than medicinal relief, Sirius offers CBD medical seeds for those who are looking for cannabis with a higher CBD content.

The GMO weed is an indica dominant hybrid strain with about 10% of sativa and 90% indica genetics, which means it provides deep body relaxation and euphoric mental effects, often leading to a couch-lock, which makes it ideal for evening use.

GMO strain genetic parents

  • Chemdawg brings a sharp, pungent diesel aroma to the table, along with its uplifting, creative effects. This makes GMO strain incredibly potent, both in scent and in the high it delivers.
  • Girl Scout Cookies, on the other hand,  contribute sweet, earthy flavors to the GMO strain and add a touch of euphoria. It also helps mellow out the intense high, providing full-body relaxation with just the right amount of mental bliss.

Effects and potential benefits

The GMO strain effects are no joke! This indica-dominant hybrid delivers a powerful combination of euphoria, deep relaxation, and a full-body high that melts away stress. Mentally, you’ll experience a rush of positive energy, while physically, it’s all about letting go and sinking into relaxation. If you’re after a strain to unwind after a long day or to put you in full-on chill mode, GMO strain is the way to go. Be warned, though—higher doses can lead to serious couch-lock, making it perfect for evening or weekend use.

Medicinally, the GMO marijuana strain is a fan favorite for relieving chronic pain, anxiety, stress, and even insomnia. Its deeply relaxing effects can help users unwind both mentally and physically, offering relief from tension and discomfort. Whether you’re dealing with physical pain or mental stress, this strain has your back (literally!).

 

Warning: Always consult with a healthcare professional before using cannabis for any medical condition.

Potential side effects

With great power comes great responsibility—or in the case of GMO weed, some side effects. The most common side effects of weed GMO include dry mouth, dry eyes, and, in rare cases, paranoia or anxiety. If you're new to the strain or have a low THC tolerance, you should “take it slow” by starting with small doses to avoid these overwhelming effects.

Sensory experience

The GMO strain gives a sensory experience that’s hard to forget. From its bold, pungent garlic-like aroma to its taste and striking appearance, the GMO cannabis strain knows how to make an impression. Whether you're smoking, vaping, or just admiring the buds, this strain is a full-on assault to the senses—in the best way possible!

Taste and aroma

The flavor profile of a GMO bud is as unique as its name suggests. Expect a strong, garlic-forward punch with a hefty dose of diesel, all wrapped in earthy undertones. If you’re into bold flavors, the GMO weed strain is perfect for evening relaxation or as a post-dinner smoke. No wonder it's often referred to as GMO Garlic Cookies strain—it packs that unforgettable savory kick!

Terpene profile

The magic behind GMO cannabis lies in its terpenes.

  • Caryophyllene brings a spicy, peppery note.
  • Myrcene delivers that signature earthy smell.
  • limonene adds a hint of citrus.

Together, these terpenes create the unique flavor and aroma that sets GMO strain apart from the rest.

Visual appearance

Visually, GMO bud is a stunner. Its dense, sticky flowers are covered in frosty trichomes, with vibrant green hues and orange hairs that make each nug pop. The weed strain GMO is as beautiful as it is potent, and those sparkling trichomes are a clear sign of the powerful experience that awaits!

How to grow the GMO strain

Growing the GMO strain is a rewarding experience for both novice and seasoned cannabis growers. However, be prepared for some serious stretching during the vegetative phase—this plant loves to grow tall! Tracking the GMO strain week-by-week can help you manage its height and optimize yield. For growers wanting a comprehensive breakdown, check out a detailed GMO strain grow report to get the best results.

Indoor growing tips

When cultivating GMO strain seeds indoors, focus on providing ample lighting and trimming the plant regularly to control its height. Your GMO plant can reach somewhere between 1 to 1.5m, so make sure you plan enough space! The strain thrives with low humidity levels, especially during flowering. Sirius’ Growshop offers everything you need to get started—from grow tents and grow lights to all the essentials for managing climate control.

Outdoor growing tips

If you’re growing outdoors, GMO seeds love warm, dry climates. Make sure to pick a sunny spot and keep an eye out for pests or unwanted eyes as it can reach close to 2m in heights. Regularly check for mold during the flowering stage, as dense buds can trap moisture. 

 

Flowering time and yields

Expect a flowering time of 8-9 weeks for the GMO strain, which is pretty standard but definitely worth the wait.

Under optimal conditions, indoor yields can reach up to 500g/m², while outdoor growers can harvest up to 1000g/plant. Whether you are growing your weed indoors or outdoors you will benefit from using high quality organic cannabis fertilizers, so you can grow organic GMO weed!

Comparison of GMO strain with other strains

If you are having a hard time deciding if GMO is the strain you want, let's compare it to other strains that are relatively similar but have differences that can help you make your choice, namely Cookies Kush (Barney’s Farm) and the Ultra Violet GMO (Growers Choice).  While the GMO strain is usually liked for its intense indica-dominant effects and signature garlic-diesel flavor, that might not be what you crave.

Cookies Kush (Barney’s Farm):

  • Balanced, mellow high
  • Flavor profile: sweet, minty, citrusy notes
  • Compact growth with quicker flowering time (7-8 weeks)

Ultra Violet GMO (Growers Choice):

  • Combines GMO potency with floral and fruity tones from Purple Kush
  • Larger yields, vivid purple-tinged buds if grown properly
  • Grows similarly to GMO strain, so it requires lots of space

Both Cookies Kush and Ultra Violet GMO are hybrid strains close to GMO but they lean more on the sativa side, although they are still primarily indica hybrids. They both take the best of GMO relaxation and mix it with other strains to offer more balanced effects and flavors ideal for those looking for a more rounded experience!
