When the discussion of cannabis genetics has influenced the market, very few names carry the legacy, weight and infamy of Jai and Berner from Cookies. They've stayed loyal to the cannabis industry for most of their years, true pioneers that help craft a stellar reputation for unique killer genetics that appeal to both connoisseurs and commercial growers alike.

 

After years of producing elite genetics capable of mind-blowing cannabis products, they've decided to let the world into their range of genetics with the new  Cookies Seeds, which has undoubtedly caused a stir in the community. Most notably, their newest genetic line is based off Hollywood, so the the Hollywood seed line is bound to capture the attention of the market.

The Dynamic Duo: Jai and Berner

Jai and Berner are the masterminds behind Cookies, a brand that started as a small-scale cannabis cultivation company and has since grown into a lifestyle brand & cannabis powerhouse. The creative approach means that their genetics have changed the game forever producing strains that are not only potent but also visually stunning and richly flavorful.

Cookies Seeds aims to provide a wider audience with access to some of its exclusive genetics. Its mission is to empower growers, whether commercial cultivators or hobbyists, with high-quality, reliable seeds that yield premium flowers.

 

The newest release for 2024 from Cookies Seeds is their Hollywood seed line, a cross of Runtz and Lemon Cherry Gelato (LCG). Individually, these two parent strains are legendary, but together, they promise to bring something entirely new to the cannabis landscape.

The Parent Strains: Runtz and Lemon Cherry Gelato

  • Runtz: A powerhouse in its own right, Runtz is supposedly a cross between Zkittlez and Gelato, two highly regarded strains for their vibrant terpene profiles and balanced effects. Runtz has earned a name for itself due to its distinct candy-like flavour, potent euphoria, and an even blend of indica and sativa genetics. Its buds are typically dense and covered in trichomes, making it as much of a visual treat as a physical one.
  • Lemon Cherry Gelato (LCG): On the other hand, LCG is a cultivar that brings a zesty, fruity burst to the table. Known for its lemony citrus and cherry notes, this Gelato variant delivers a smooth, dessert-like finish while packing a punch in potency. Like most Gelato strains, LCG is lauded for its rich, euphoric highs, making it a favourite among recreational users.

When these two strains come together in the Hollywood line, the result is something extraordinary.

What to Expect from the Hollywood Strain

The Hollywood strain promises an exciting hybrid with visual appeal and flavour complexity. Here's a closer look at what to expect from this cross of Runtz and Lemon Cherry Gelato:

  • Aroma and Flavor

Hollywood is likely to be a terpene-heavy strain, with aromas and flavors that will delight any cannabis enthusiast. The sweet, candy-like essence of Runtz, combined with the tart and fruity notes of Lemon Cherry Gelato, will likely create a flavour explosion, offering layers of sweetness, citrus, and a touch of earthy gelato smoothness. This profile will appeal to users who prioritize flavour in their cannabis experience.

  • Visual Appeal

Thanks to the genetics of Runtz and LCG, Hollywood will almost certainly be a trichome-rich strain. Buds are expected to be densely packed, covered in a blanket of frosty white crystals, with hints of deep purple and lime green. Growers and users alike will appreciate the striking visual appeal, making it a great addition to any garden or dispensary shelf.

  • Potency and Effects

Given the potency of both parent strains, Hollywood will likely be a robust hybrid. Expect a balanced high with a heady, euphoric lift (thanks to the Runtz genetics), gradually evolving into a calming, body-relaxing effect driven by the Gelato lineage. This strain could be ideal for both recreational and medicinal users seeking relief from stress, anxiety, or physical discomfort while also wanting to maintain a creative or social vibe.

  • Grow Information

For growers, Hollywood is likely to be a medium-height plant with a relatively easy-to-manage structure. It should produce large yields of dense buds resistant to both issues of pests or mould, making it an excellent choice for indoor and outdoor cultivation. Additionally, the plant is expected to carry the genetic solid stability that Cookies Seeds has become known for, ensuring that growers consistently get top-tier results.
