About Tropicana Cookies

Tropicana Cookies was created by Bloom Seed Co. (later of Oni Seed Co.) by crossing Girl Scout Cookies with Tangie. The combination of GSC's structure and potency with Tangie's intense citrus profile produced a strain with a completely unique terpene expression — sweet orange, tropical fruit, cream, and candy. The buds are visually striking: bright green with vibrant orange pistils and abundant trichomes. The effects are sativa-dominant and energetic: uplifting, creative, and euphoric with a clear-headed focus. Tropicana Cookies became one of the most sought-after sativa hybrids of the late 2010s and was used as a parent for Super Boof (Trop Cookies x White Runtz), one of the biggest strains of the 2020s.
