Gary Payton Strain

Gary Payton Strain Overview

Which category does the Gary Payton strain fall into? Though a hybrid, its effects, and appearance are reminiscent of Sativa strains. Grape-shaped lime green and minty green buds with purple undertones develop on this tall shrub.

These bud nugs are tight and loaded with fiery orange pistils. Trichomes add the finishing touch with their frosty coating of milky white & amber tones. Berner’s Cookies & Powerzzz Genetics worked together to create the Gary Payton cannabis strain.  

The average THC content of the Snowman genotype of Girl Scout Cookies is 23%. Genetically, the Y is a hybrid between Cookies & Cherry Pie, and its THC content is anywhere from 17% to 28%. With such a pedigree, the Gary Payton strain of marijuana should be just as potent as its namesake.

Strain Information

I’m curious about the origins of the strain’s moniker. The legend goes that during the pheno-seeking phase, the 20th phenotype exhibited the most desired features and was consequently selected.

Gary “The Glove” Payton, a member of the NBA Hall of Fame, wore jersey number 20; it seemed fitting to name a high-quality strain after him.

What a perfect description the name became. The THC content is anywhere between 15% and 25%. Despite having a low CBD content (less than 5%), this strain has been bred to achieve excellent medicinal results thanks to its potent terpene profile.

Gary Payton Genetics

Powerzzz Genetics’ Cookies lineage’s Gary Payton was developed by crossing Snowman and The Y. (a.k.a Y Griega).

Growers recommend humidity levels of roughly 60%, but it should be noted that the flower is sensitive to fungus, mold, or moisture damage.

When you prune regularly, you expose more of the buds to air and light, which helps keep them healthier and less susceptible to infection. In addition, experts recommend checking your trichomes if the flowering timing is off from what you expected.

Your plant is ready for harvest when the white-to-amber trichomes ratio reaches about 1:1.

Flowering & Yield

Flowering Many gardeners who have worked with Gary Payton strain seedlings have reported irregular growth patterns, even though the published data suggests a flowering of 50 to 63 days.

More data is needed to establish blooming times with any degree of precision. It can take 7-9 weeks for cannabis to blossom indoors, with yields of 0.5-1.0 OZ/FT2. As of mid to late October, you can anticipate blooming. It produces about 18 and 20 ounces per plant.
