Cookie Fam Genetics Description

Sometimes, a strain's name says it all. And that's definitely the case with Pancakes. This Californian hybrid boasts buttery, sweet aromas reminiscent of fresh pancake batter and packs all the THC and terpenes you'd expect from a modern Cali hybrid, all the while producing a well-balanced high. Keep reading to learn all there is to know about Pancakes, its genetics, origins, grow traits, and much more.

Strain History of Pancakes

Pancakes was bred by Seed Junky Genetics in collaboration with Cookies, arguably one of America's most popular cannabis brands. Cookies and Seed Junky began collaborating in 2017 and together created the Mintz cannabis brand as well as a variety of unique hybrid strains, including Pancakes.

Cookies, while now a world-renowned brand of cannabis, was born out of the creation of the almighty GSC strain (previously Girl Scout Cookies). Founded by rapper and entrepreneur Berner, Cookies united a close-knit group of breeders and cannabis professionals originally known as the Cookies Fam. Seed Junky Genetics, on the other hand, is a cannabis genetics company headed by breeder and grower JBeezy. The original creators of Wedding Cake, Gelato, Animal Mints, and many more, Seed Junky has close ties to many other leading cannabis brands, including Doja Exclsuives, Glass House Brands, Capulator, and others.

Genetic Lineage of Pancakes

Pancakes is a hybrid cannabis strain that some sources claim is slightly indica-dominant (around 60%). While its real genetic lineage has never been made public, Pancakes is believed to combine genetics from unique London Pound Cake and Kush Mints phenotypes. Below we'll explore both of these strains in more detail to see what they may have imparted on the Pancakes strain created by Seed Junky and Cookies.

London Pound Cake, also simply known as Pound Cake or LPC, is an indica-dominant hybrid stemming from Sunset Sherbet. Bred by Cookies, LPC is known to be potent and super aromatic, boasting around 25% THC and a buttery aroma with hints of vanilla and lemon—oddly reminiscent of the airy, smooth dessert it's named after. Cannabis folklore has it that Cookies and Seed Junky used a unique London Pound Cake phenotype, LPC #75, to create their Pancakes strain. It's from this strain that Pancakes likely gets its buttery, vanilla-y, cake batter aroma.

The second strain apparently used to create London Pound Cake is Kush Mints. While some sources accredit the strain to Mr Nice Seeds, the general consensus is that Kush Mints is another Seed Junky creation. Combining genetics from Bubba Kush and Animal Mints, Kush Mints is a well-balanced hybrid with around 23% THC and rich terpenes that produce a fresh mint aroma with hints of pine, earth, and dark coffee. Again, rumors suggest that Cookies and Seed Junky used a unique phenotype, Kush Mints #11 to create Pancakes. Kush Mints is known to produce an uplifting, creative, and social euphoria as well as a mild body buzz—similar to the effects seen in Pancakes.

Physical Characteristics of Pancakes

The original Pancakes bred by Seed Junky and Cookies was never made available to home cultivators, neither in seed nor clone form. However, seedbanks such as Holy Smoke and Premium Cultivars offer their own varieties of Pancakes in seed form.

Pancakes plants are slightly indica-dominant. Vegetative plants tend to develop strong stems, multiple side branches, and large, dark-green leaves. Pancakes is considered a fairly tall strain with moderate internodal spacing and considerable stretch. Once in bloom, Pancakes' indica dominance starts to shine through in the dense structure of her flowers and relatively short flowering time. Dried and cured Pancakes flowers are typically dark-green and well-structured, with a frosty coating of trichomes, bright orange pistils, and occasional purple hues.

Properties/Effects of Pancakes

Pancakes is a very strong strain that regularly produces between 20–25% THC and a rich concentration of terpenes. The dominant terpenes in Pancakes are caryophyllene, limonene, and linalool, which combine to produce a buttery, almost nutty aroma with syrupy sweet overtones and notes of fresh vanilla. Some users also report noting hints of berries and earthy Kush.

Despite its high THC levels and strong terpene concentration, Pancakes reportedly produces very well-balanced effects. After smoking this strain, many users report feeling an almost instantaneous boost in their mood. Soon after, you may experience a social and creative high settling in that'll further elevate your mood while leaving you with enough energy and focus to do work, chores, or go outside—anything but extremely strenuous physical activity (such as a workout, for example) are typically totally doable while under the spell of Pancakes.

Underneath the uplifting cerebral effects, many users report feeling a slight body buzz that relieves tension without causing any kind of heaviness. While some users report using Pancakes in the morning to Wake N' Bake, others prefer using it in the afternoon or evening when they have fewer things on their schedule.

Uses of Pancakes

Pancakes is a popular strain for both recreational and medical use.

Recreational smokers particularly enjoy this strain for its well-balanced euphoria and its ability to elevate the mood without sacrificing one's ability to stay focused or productive. If you like to smoke during the day or in the afternoon, for example, and still be able to get work done, chip away at chores, or focus on creative projects, this might be a great strain for you. Moreover, recreational smokers also recommend using Pancakes:

• In social settings

• While enjoying the great outdoors

• In the afternoon for a boost of creative energy

• Before tidying the house

• While taking a walk

• Before dinner

Pancakes is also a popular strain among medical cannabis users. While no studies have looked into the therapeutic potential of this strain exclusively, MMJ patients do report using it to relieve a variety of ailments and symptoms. These include:

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Mood disorders

• Stress

• PTSD

• Mild pain relief

Like all high-THC cannabis strains, Pancakes can cause some unwanted side effects. These may include:

• Anxiety

• Dry eyes/mouth

• Headaches

Cultivation/Production of Pancakes

As mentioned earlier, the original Cookies/Seed Junky Pancakes was never made available to the public in seed or clone form. Hence, there is no information available about the original strain's grow traits. The information we've compiled here comes from other varieties of Pancakes, like those offered by Premium Cultivars and Holy Smoke Seeds, for example.

Pancakes seems to be a hardy hybrid that grows very quickly into tall, bushy plants. The strain can grow between 70 and 200cm, depending on how much soil she's given and how long she's left to veg. Given her long branches and large leaves, Pancakes might benefit from regular pruning and defoliation, as well as training. LST, for example, may help control Pancakes' height and promote light penetration into its canopy, while topping may increase its yields through the growth of multiple colas.

True to her indica-dominance, Pancakes boasts a relatively fast flowering time. Once in bloom, she might stretch notably before taking approximately 9 weeks to reach maturity. Come harvest time, Pancakes plants by breeders like Premium Cultivars might yield around 450g/m² or up to 600g per plant.
