Howdy everyone, Rev here, with the hybrid, clone only, Platinum Cookies today. I think I just got over “the Covid” during this last week. I don’t know for sure it was the Corona Virus, but if it wasn’t, it was one bad ass flu. No lung stuff, but severe nausea, headaches, body-wide joint/muscle aches, along with a nice high fever. Yikes. Good to be on the other side of that serious AF flu.
Today’s Rave is truly an MILF for a single reason, that I have learned to be able to spot over my almost half century of growing. Those skinny, frosty buds, with those wide-ish bud leaflets, that end up looking kind of “ratty” when dried. This floral morphology of the Platinum Cookies actually looks a lot like some of the most potent cannabis from around the world. Ever seen true Congo Black? Similarities galore. Check out another MILF from yours truly here at SKUNK: Rev’s Rave Cindy Congo.
I got this MILF from Mountain Medicinals and I wanted to bring it to you guys mostly to show you that floral morphology. These type plants are always small yielders, but definite showstoppers when it comes to raw potency. Trust me when I say, I don’t have to smoke this one to clearly know its type—deadly.

General, and Growing Information – Platinum Cookies
GROWER: (and Photos by) Mountain Medicinals
Platinum Cookies was passed on to me in clone form from a good local friend of mine, and fellow medical grower here in the mountains of southern California. It grows nice and uniform and once topped a couple times, will turn into a wide bush. She does have a tendency to stretch when flowering is induced, and my plant doubled in size. Platinum Cookies is not a huge yielder, but does grow rock hard, trichome covered buds that have an OG Kush smell mixed with a hint of cookies sweetness.
This particular plant was grown indoors in a 5-gallon fabric pot and the medium used was 40% organic peat moss, 20% organic coco, 10% earthworm castings, and 30% chunky perlite. Dolomite lime was used as a pH buffer. It was fed Oregon’s Only Organic Nectar for the Gods, a calcium based nutrient line with GroMore’s Bio-Cozyme added, for extra enzymes. What I like most about Platinum Cookies, is the potency and flavor of the smoke. Our patients also appreciate its potency and anti-pain/nausea qualities it possesses.
Platinum Cookies – The Smoking
I mostly smoke this Platinum Cookies later in the day, after I’m done with work, etc. Great for pure relaxation, video games, music, or however you choose to unwind. I wouldn’t recommend it for daytime smoke as it does make me tired, but it is a pleasant tired. It makes falling asleep a breeze and that is good for me, because I have always had trouble sleeping.
