Gary Payton: a three-way cross of Girl Scout Cookies, Cherry Pie and Snowman
Gary Payton (German Fem Line) by Black Elephant Genetics is a three-way cross of American origin that concentrates the Girl Scout Cookies family: it combines Girl Scout Cookies and Snowman, a selection from that same family famous for its dense, frosty flowers, with Cherry Pie, which adds a sweet, fruity touch to the mix. The result is a balanced feminized hybrid with a slight sativa dominance (55%), open branching and very resinous flowers, and an aroma that alternates sugar, spice and diesel.
Why choose Gary Payton
✓ Feminized: every plant will be a productive female, with no males to identify.
✓ Three-way cross: Girl Scout Cookies, Cherry Pie and Snowman in a single strain.
✓ 70-75 day flowering: a medium cycle for a hybrid with a slight sativa dominance.
✓ Good yield: up to 500 g/m² indoors and up to 700 g/plant outdoors.
✓ Layered aroma: sugar and spice over an earthy base with a hit of diesel.
Indoor cultivation
Indoors it develops a structure of several side branches and slightly longer internodes from its sativa side. It performs best when opened up during growth with LST, gently bending the branches so that every tip receives the same light, and then guided through a SCROG net. It yields up to 500 g/m² after 70-75 days of flowering. For maximum results we recommend a high-quality airy substrate, regular pH control (6.0-6.5 in soil), a stable environment throughout flowering, good ventilation between the branches and an activated carbon filter, because its diesel note makes itself felt.
Outdoor cultivation
Outdoors it becomes a tall plant: it reaches 1.5-3 m and can yield up to 700 g per plant, with harvest in early October, before the worst of autumn arrives. It appreciates a warm, sunny climate, an open spot with direct sun and moving air, and a large pot or well-worked soil to develop its roots. It is worth tying the main branches to stakes once they start to fill with flowers.
Aroma and flavour
A layered profile: when the flowers are opened a sugary sweetness dominates, soon crossed by spicy, almost peppery notes. Underneath comes an earthy base, and in the final weeks of flowering a diesel note emerges that gives character to the whole blend.

Frequently asked questions
Which training suits it best?
LST from the first weeks of growth, combined with a SCROG net, takes advantage of its tendency to form many side branches and keeps every tip at the same height under the light.
When is it harvested outdoors?
In the northern hemisphere it is usually ready in early October. As it can reach 3 m, it is worth giving it a large, sunny space.
How should I store them until sowing?
In a cool, dry and dark place, ideally in the fridge inside an airtight container. This preserves their germination power for a long time.
