Appearance and Structure
This cultivar typically develops into compact to medium-sized plants, often reaching heights between 60-110 cm indoors.

Origins and Lineage
Auto Girl Scout Cookies is an autoflowering variant bred by GB Strains, derived from the highly acclaimed Girl Scout Cookies (GSC). The original GSC is widely reported to be a cross between OG Kush and Durban Poison, known for its unique flavor and balanced effects.
By integrating ruderalis genetics, GB Strains created this autoflowering version. This allows the plant to flower based on age rather than light cycles, preserving the iconic GSC characteristics in a faster, more convenient format.
