GMO
GMO clones are the original Skunkmasterflex cut of one of the most iconic cultivars in modern cannabis. The lineage is Chem D × Forum GSC. Also known as Garlic Cookies, this phenotype is prized for its extreme potency, massive resin production, and a complex savory-fuel terpene profile unlike anything else on the shelf.
Our GMO clones are the original cut hunted and selected by Skunkmasterflex of Skunk House Genetics. Skunkmasterflex found this phenotype in a pack of Mamiko Seeds Chem Cookies (Chem D × Forum GSC). It stood out immediately from the rest of the pack. The potency, the terpene profile, and the resin production were all exceptional. He selected it, named it GMO, and it became one of the most sought-after clone-only cuts in cannabis history.
GMO has placed at multiple major competitions. It is a foundational strain behind dozens of elite modern crosses. Growers seek it for its extreme hash potential. Consumers seek it for its one-of-a-kind flavor and effect. This is a true legacy cut.
- 25–30% THC

Genetics
Chemdog D is one of the most influential cultivars in cannabis history. It contributes sharp diesel fuel, heavy potency, and vigorous growth. Forum Cut GSC (Girl Scout Cookies) adds earthy cookie sweetness, dense resinous structure, and deeply relaxing effects. Together, they produce a cultivar that leans heavily toward the Chem side in aroma and effect. The GSC genetics provide structure, yield, and depth. The result is GMO — a phenotype so distinct it launched its own family of derivative strains.
The name GMO has nothing to do with garlic. Skunkmasterflex named this cut after reading a news headline about Girl Scout Cookies containing genetically modified ingredients. The garlic nickname came later, as the savory terpene profile became widely recognized. Both names stuck.
Aroma & Flavor
GMO has one of the most recognizable noses in cannabis. The dominant notes are savory garlic, earthy mushroom, and sharp diesel fuel. There is a spicy, onion-like quality underneath. A light lemon-pine brightness rounds out the back end. This profile is bold, pungent, and room-filling. It is not for the faint of heart.
On the inhale, the flavor is complex — savory, earthy, and gassy all at once. The exhale delivers a spicy diesel finish with lingering depth. This is a connoisseur's terpene profile. It sets GMO apart from every dessert and fruit strain on the market.
Primary Terpenes:
β-Caryophyllene
Myrcene
Limonene
α-Pinene
Humulene
Appearance
GMO produces dense, beastly colas with heavy trichome encrustation. Buds are compact and resin-drenched. The foliage is deep green with purple hues emerging as the plant matures. Orange pistils run throughout the flower. The trichome coverage is exceptional — this is one of the top hash-production cultivars available. Bag appeal is strong and immediately recognizable to anyone familiar with the strain.
Effects
GMO delivers an extremely potent, full-body high. At 25–30% THC, it hits hard and fast. The onset brings a focused, heavy euphoria. A deep body relaxation follows quickly. This is not a strain for novice consumers. It is best suited for experienced users seeking serious potency. GMO is ideal for evening and nighttime use. It is also a top choice for managing pain, stress, and insomnia.
Growing Information
- Flowering time: 10–11 weeks indoors; outdoor harvest late October
- Plant structure: Medium height, sturdy branching, compact indica-style internodes
- Stretch: Moderate — manageable with proper training
- Yield: Medium to high; exceptional hash return
- Ideal temps: 68–78°F | Humidity: 40–50%
- Training: Responds well to topping, LST, and SCROG
Growing Tips
Veg Stage: GMO builds a sturdy, branchy structure in veg. Top early and train for an even canopy. It responds well to low-stress training. Build out as many flowering sites as possible before flipping.
Early Flower: Expect moderate stretch in the first two to three weeks after flip. Buds begin stacking quickly. Good airflow is critical from the start. The dense bud structure holds moisture. Keep humidity below 50% throughout flower to prevent mold.
Late Flower (Weeks 9–11): Resin production peaks heavily in the final weeks. Back off nutrients around week 8 to let the savory, fuel-forward terpene profile fully express. Purple hues deepen with cooler night temperatures. Running nights around 65°F in the final two weeks enhances color and trichome density.
Harvest: Begin checking trichomes around day 63. Mostly cloudy trichomes deliver the potent, focused onset GMO is known for. A mix of cloudy and amber shifts the experience toward heavier sedation. This cut responds well to a patient harvest.
Curing: A slow cure is essential. Dry at 60–65°F for 10–14 days in sealed containers with daily burping. The savory garlic and diesel terpene complexity develops fully with a proper cure. Do not rush it. A well-cured GMO is one of the most distinctive smokes available.
GMO is a cornerstone cultivar of modern cannabis. It is a reliable choice for growers who want elite potency, hash production, and a terpene profile that stands completely on its own.
