White TemplarP

Piff ran Washington Heights in the late nineties and early 2000s under a handful of names: Frankie, Church, Uptown Haze. If you were buying in the Heights or running the I-95 lane to Boston in that era you know exactly what it smelled like. Haley’s Comet is a bag seed cut that carries it. Animal Cookies is here to make it finishable.

The Cross

The goal is to capture the racy character of the I-95 corridor Hazes without the fourteen week wait. The Piff cut can push a hundred days in flower. Animal Cookies runs nine to ten weeks. Crossing them brings the finish into sane territory and adds the structure the Piff has never had.

That is a real breeding problem rather than a marketing one, and it is why the cross exists.

The Parents

Piff, Church, Frankie, Uptown Haze. These are all names for a specific phenotype of Northern Lights #5 crossed to Haze, possibly a Cuban Black Haze, that dominated New York City for the better part of a decade. It was the standard in the Heights and it travelled the corridor, and anybody who was buying then can still identify it blind.

Haley’s Comet is a specific bag seed variety found in the Massachusetts and New York scene that carries the profile. It is a sativa that refuses to be tamed: three to four times stretch, wispy airy foxtails, and no commercial viability whatsoever. It is a labor of love and nothing else.

Animal Cookies is the Cookies-family parent, and it is the reason this cross finishes.

Our read of the original Animal Cookies name: Thin Mint GSC, renamed. The cut came from Jigga and the Cookies Family‘s Bay Area circle and also carried the Platinum Cookies tag. That is the Girl Scout Cookies history we back. A new name does not prove a new cross.

What’s In The Pack

Six feminized photoperiod seeds. What you are hunting is the plant that keeps the church character on the Cookies frame. This is a collector’s pack, because the Piff profile is not something you can buy anywhere else in seed form.

In The Garden

62-70 days, finishing around day 63, which is dramatically shorter than the mother. Expect stretch from the Piff side and plan the trellis accordingly.
