Biscotti
Breeder: Cookies Fam (Berner & Jigga)
Named after the Italian almond biscuit cookie, Biscotti delivers a dessert-forward flavor of sweet cookie dough with a fuel-and-pepper undercurrent inherited from its OG Kush heritage. It represents a cornerstone of the modern 'exotic' cannabis movement — the wave of visually striking, terpene-rich, high-THC cultivars that redefined top-shelf flower. The strain gained significant cultural traction through hip-hop, with artists including Migos referencing it in lyrics.
Lineage & Genetics
Cross: Gelato #25 x South Florida OG
Gelato #25 (Thin Mint GSC x Sunset Sherbet) contributes dense trichome coverage, creamy sweetness, and purple potential. South Florida OG (a Florida OG Kush phenotype from Chemdawg/Hindu Kush lineage) contributes gassy/diesel notes and heavy physical sedation. Some market versions labeled 'Biscotti' are reportedly Motorbreath x Gelato #41 — a different cut.
Terpene Profile
Beta-Caryophyllene — Spicy, peppery, woody; ~0.9%
Limonene — Bright citrus; ~0.7–0.8%
Myrcene — Earthy, herbal; ~0.2%

Commonly Reported Uses
Growing Characteristics
Grow Tips: Dense buds create high mold risk — humidity at 40–45% in late flower. May develop deep purple to nearly black coloration under cooler nights. Naturally pest-resistant. Slow cure (2+ weeks) helps balance cookie sweetness with diesel undertones.
History & Origin
