Garlic Cocktail weed strain

Hybrid

Garlic Cocktail

4.8 (247 reviews)

Garlic Cocktail was bred by Uprising Seed Co., crossing GMO Cookies (also known as Garlic Cookies, itself a cross of Chemdawg and GSC) with Mimosa. GMO brings its signature pungent, chemical-forward intensity and heavy resin production, while Mimosa contributes a brighter, citrus-driven sweetness, an unusual pairing that gives Garlic Cocktail one of the more distinctive aroma profiles on the shelf. 

About Garlic Cocktail Strain

  • Genetics: A cross between GMO (Garlic Cookies) and Mimosa, originally bred by Uprising Seed Co. Roughly 70% indica / 30% sativa. Given its GMO parentage, expect similar cultivation challenges — moderately difficult, best suited to growers with some experience. StrainpediaMiloudflowerfarms
  • Climate: Prefers a cooler, controlled climate with lower humidity through flowering, similar to its GMO parent. Outdoors, Mediterranean-type conditions (65-80°F / 18-27°C) work best.
  • Growth pattern: Associated with elongated, exceptionally resinous buds and dense buds with rich resin and vibrant colors that signal potency. Its GMO genetics provide massive capitate-stalked trichomes that easily detach during solventless washing — a plus if extraction is part of your client’s product line. Strainpedia + 2
  • Flowering time: Around 8-9 weeks indoors, consistent with GMO lineage; outdoor harvest typically early-to-mid October.
  • Yield: Moderate yields, similar range to GMO and Biscotti — growers generally prioritize resin quality and terpene density over volume.
  • Susceptibility: Dense, resin-heavy buds are prone to mold/bud rot in humid conditions, so airflow management matters. Genetic instability from the GMO side means some pheno variation is possible.
  • Nutrients: Responds well to standard feeding; conservative nitrogen approach recommended given GMO’s known sensitivity to nutrient burn.
  • Training techniques: LST and topping help manage the resin-heavy structure and improve light penetration; SCROG works well to even out the canopy and support dense colas.

Garlic Cocktail Cultivation Notes

  • Genetics: A hybrid (Chem’s Sister x Sour Dubb x Chocolate Diesel), moderately challenging to grow — best suited to growers with some experience, known for being sticky and resin-heavy in a way that requires careful handling.
  • Climate: Prefers a warm, dry climate outdoors (70-80°F / 21-27°C) with low humidity through flowering. Indoors, it’s sensitive to humidity swings late in flowering given its extremely dense, resin-coated buds.
  • Growth pattern: Medium-to-tall with moderate stretch and vigorous, bushy branching. Known for producing some of the heaviest resin coverage of any strain, which can make buds fragile and prone to snapping without support.
  • Flowering time: Around 8-9 weeks indoors; outdoor harvest typically early-to-mid October.
  • Yield: Above-average yields — one of the more generous producers in this lineup, especially with proper training and support.
  • Susceptibility: Dense, resin-heavy buds are prone to mold and bud rot in humid conditions, so airflow and humidity control are important. Otherwise fairly resilient against pests.
  • Nutrients: Responds well to standard feeding schedules; some growers add extra phosphorus/potassium in flowering to fuel its notably heavy resin production.
  • Training techniques: Topping and LST help manage its vigorous branching; SCROG works well to even out the canopy. Branch support (stakes/trellis) is especially important here given how heavy and sticky the buds get.
