Gary Payton Strain by Cookies at The Reef Dispensary

Named after the NBA Hall of Famer, the Gary Payton strain is a highly potent hybrid created by a collaboration between Cookies and Powerzzzup Genetics. The two brands crossed Snowman with The Y to breed this colorful strain. The hybrid is highly coveted in the industry because of its flavorful palette and potentially powerful effects.

Genetics

Gary Payton’s parent strains give it unique qualities that contribute to its immense popularity.

The Y is a potentially energizing, Sativa-leaning hybrid that might lend its electric effects. The strain carries a sweet floral and citrus aroma with a fruity flavor to match. The strain might produce mentally stimulating effects that can potentially create a long-lasting sense of calm throughout the whole body.

Snowman, Gary Payton’s other parent strain, might also give off a variety of classic Sativa effects. Snowman might be ideal for sparking creativity. It has a gassy, kush-like aroma with lime green nugs.

Appearance

Like its parent, the Gary Payton strain has a distinct gassy aroma. Users will be able to detect what Cookies describes as a “burnt rubber smell” right after opening the container. The nugs are dense and chunky. The bud is filled with all kinds of green and purple hues that are accented by a silvery layer of crystal trichomes. Bursts of orange can be seen in the strain's pistils.

The strain contains Caryophyllene; a terpene responsible for its diesel-like aroma. The presence of this terpene not only elevates the flavor of the strain but might also give it medicinal properties. Caryophyllene is known to have a strong ability to interact with CB2 receptors which are responsible for the potential non-psychoactive benefits of THC. Some popular strains that contain Caryophyllene include Girl Scout Cookies, Bubba Kush, Chemdog, and Sour Diesel.
