Platinum Huckleberry Cookies

Dynasty Seeds is the breeder Leafly credits for Platinum Huckleberry Cookies, the strain behind this flower. Leafly labels the strain hybrid, whereas AllBud uses the phrase rare indica dominant hybrid and puts the indica share at 70%, sativa at 30%.

A project that began in 2014

Leafly says Dynasty Seeds began the project in 2014 and made the strain by pairing a Platinum Cookies mother with Dynasty’s own Oregon Huckleberry as the father. Leafly’s genetics panel lists Platinum Cookies as a parent, and AllBud’s parents are the same two strains. Leafly adds that the cross gives growers higher yields and better internodal spacing.

Sour berries, mint and a hashy, floral flavour

Leafly describes an aroma of sour berries and mint, with a hashy, floral flavour, and its flavour tags are plum, spicy/herbal and mint. Leafly reviewers mention a smell like snickerdoodle cookies with a hint of skunk and a taste like a vanilla cookie.

AllBud describes a sweet, fruity inhale with nutty vanilla notes and a strong mint finish on the exhale. Its aroma is spicy and herbal, with floral, fresh-berry and menthol notes.

Colourful, very heavy buds

AllBud describes colourful, very heavy buds in olive green: purple undertones, vivid orange hairs and a golden-amber trichome coat. One AllBud reviewer describes frosty buds showing purple, blue, orange and white colouring.

A creeper with a heavy finish

AllBud describes the onset as a creeper that can take up to 10 minutes, followed by tingly effects, focus and creativity and a heavy, relaxed body. Leafly describes a euphoric mental rush that settles into a heavy full-body feel. Leafly reviewers tag euphoric, relaxed and creative, and AllBud users tag body high, creative, euphoria and relaxing. Ratings are 4.5 from 50 on Leafly and 4.9 from 15 votes on AllBud, which also shows 5 written reviews.

Limonene on top, THC near 24% on Leafly

Next to the Health Canada advice to start with 1 or 2 puffs of smoke or vapour at 10% THC or less, the 24% Leafly shows for Platinum Huckleberry Cookies is far higher.
