Strain Overview
GMO is the strain that made garlic a legitimate cannabis terp note. Also called Garlic Cookies, it is a clone-only legend, a Chem D x Cookies cross that came out of California about a decade ago and has been a foundational gas strain ever since. The cut we run is the Skunk Master Flex version, the original phenotype that started the whole GMO lane. If you sell or grow First Class Funk, Government Oasis, or any of the dozen modern crosses with GMO in the lineage, this is the parent. The original. Clone-only means seeds with this name are not the real thing.

Lineage & History
GMO is a clone-only strain. There is no breeder you can email for seeds. The cut originated in California from a Chem D x Cookies cross that produced a single phenotype with a garlic-mushroom funk so distinct it earned the strain the GMO name (short for Garlic Mushroom Onion, sometimes Garlic Mints, depending on who is telling the story). The cut went viral through grower networks in 2017-2018 and became a backbone for the next wave of gas hybrids.
The Skunk Master Flex cut is the canonical version. Anyone selling GMO seeds is either selling something else or selling a backcross that lost the defining funk. The cut we run is the actual clone, sourced and verified through the legitimate clone network. This is also why GMO costs $99 instead of $69. There is no S1 or backcross shortcut available, every plant traces back to the single original through cuttings.
GMO is also the parent of two strains we already sell. First Class Funk is Compound Genetics’ GMO x Jet Fuel Gelato. Government Oasis is Purple City’s GMO x Gush Mints. If you have liked either of those and want to taste the parent that made them work, this is the source.
Flavor & Aroma
Open the jar and the first thing you get is garlic. Real garlic, not metaphor garlic, the kind of sharp savory funk that makes the smell stand out from every other strain in your stash. Underneath that is a Cookies sweetness that softens the edge, plus a heavy gas note that fills out the back of the smell. There is also a slight onion or mushroom quality that some people pick up and others don’t, depending on the run.
The flavor follows the smell with one twist. Garlic and gas on the inhale, then the Cookies sweetness rolls in on the exhale with a soft cocoa edge that you do not get from the dry smell. The mid-palate is where GMO surprises you. It is not a one-note funk strain, even though that is the reputation. The cure matters. Fresh-cut GMO is harsh and one-dimensional. Six weeks of cure and the cocoa really comes forward. If you smoke it in glass you will pull the cleanest version of the garlic. Joints push it harder toward the gas.
Effects: 70/30 Indica with a Long Tail
GMO is heavy. THC tests 24-30% and the buzz hits you appropriately. Mood lifts in the first 5-10 minutes, then the body side rolls in hard around 15 minutes and keeps building. By 30 minutes you are leaned back. By 45 you are slowed down. By an hour in you are not getting up for anything that doesn’t matter.
This is an evening strain. It is not technically a sleep strain but it gets you most of the way there. The unique thing about the GMO buzz is the duration. Most modern hybrids peak fast and fade. GMO holds its peak for 90 minutes to 2 hours, which is closer to old-school OG behavior than to modern dessert-hybrid behavior. If you have been chasing strains that hit hard but burn out fast, GMO is what you have actually been looking for.
Growing GMO
GMO grows like the OG-leaning indica she is. Medium stretch, branchy structure, and bud sites that need support late in flower because the colas get heavy. She is a moderate-to-heavy feeder. Don’t underfeed her or you will get smaller buds and weaker funk. The terps are nutrient-driven on this one more than most.
Flower runs 9-10 weeks, which is on the longer end and one of the reasons GMO doesn’t show up in commercial indoor as much as easier strains. The chop window matters. Pull her at 8 weeks and you get a sativa-leaning buzz that misses what GMO is famous for. Pull at 9-10 weeks and the indica side fully drives.
She likes consistent calcium and rewards silica. Defoliate at flip and again around day 21. The buds get oily late in flower and trapped moisture is your enemy. Keep airflow strong and humidity under 50% from week 5 onward. Hash yield is high, around 4.5-5.5%, with strong rosin behavior. Pull her at 70% cloudy with 15-20% amber for the most balanced buzz.

FAQ
Is GMO indica or sativa? Indica-dominant hybrid at 70/30. The buzz is body-forward and long-tailed, holding its peak for 90 minutes to 2 hours, which is more old-school OG behavior than modern dessert-hybrid behavior.
How strong is GMO? THC tests 24-30%. The buzz hits heavy and stays heavy. The duration is what separates GMO from other strains in the same THC range.
Who bred GMO? GMO is clone-only. The original cut came out of California from a Chem D x Cookies cross. The Skunk Master Flex cut is the canonical version and that is what we sell. No legitimate GMO seeds exist. Anyone selling them is selling something else.
What does GMO taste like? Garlic on the inhale (real savory funk, not metaphor), then Cookies sweetness with a soft cocoa edge on the exhale. Some people also pick up onion or mushroom notes. The cure makes a big difference.
How long does GMO take to flower? 9-10 weeks indoor. Don’t pull early. The defining indica close happens in week 9-10 and you lose it if you chop at 8.
How much do GMO clones cost? $99 per clone with free 2-day shipping included to all 50 states. The premium price reflects the clone-only sourcing.
