High Life THCNM Buds represents an exceptional collection of three masterpieces that together have shaped the development of the modern cannabis world in ways that few other strains can match. This trio of Gelato, Girl Scout Cookies and Runtz not only represent some of the most technically advanced breeding results from California’s legendary Cookies Fam collective, but also represent a fascinating evolutionary chain where each strain has contributed to the development of the next generation of cannabis genetics. For collectors interested in cannabis history and development, this collection offers a unique opportunity to study how modern cannabis cultivation has evolved from classic landraces to today’s sophisticated polyhybrids.
Gelato, often referred to as “Larry Bird” in collector circles or officially as “Gelato #42” in breeding documentation, represents one of the most balanced hybrid crosses ever achieved through systematic selection. This extraordinary strain was born from a careful cross between Sunset Sherbet, itself a sophisticated hybrid with deep indica roots, and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies, creating a genetic makeup that manages to balance the uplifting qualities of sativa with the deeper, more contemplative qualities of indica. What makes Gelato particularly fascinating to research-minded collectors is how this original cross has inspired a whole family of related phenotypes, including the highly respected Gelato #3, #33, #41 and #45, each numbered variant representing specific selections that emphasize different aspects of the parent plant’s complexity.
Girl Scout Cookies, often abbreviated to GSC in cultivation circles, stands as a true legend in the cannabis world and represents one of the most influential innovations from the California underground growing scene. This extraordinary strain was created by the visionary Jigga through an extremely sophisticated cross between a rare pheno-type of OG Kush and an F1 Durban Poison, resulting in a genetic combination so revolutionary that it was immediately recognized through multiple Cannabis Cup wins and has since served as the foundation for countless modern hybrids. GSC’s influence on modern cannabis cultivation can hardly be overstated, as the strain not only introduced new levels of cannabinoid complexity but also established terpene profiles that have become industry benchmarks for quality assessment.
Runtz, known alternatively as “Runtz OG” in some growing circles, represents the latest evolution within this genetic line and demonstrates how modern cannabis cultivation can combine proven genetics to create something truly extraordinary. This relatively new but already legendary hybrid from the Cookies Fam collective was born from a meticulously planned cross between Zkittlez, a fruity indica-dominant hybrid known for its intense terpene profiles, and Gelato, creating a synergy that was so instantly recognized that Leafly named it the 2020 “Strain of the Year.” Runtz was initially popularized by influential Californian culture figure Yung LB in Long Beach and has since spread globally, where it is known as “Zwirlz” within the sophisticated cannabis culture of the Netherlands, for example, and has inspired over twenty documented varieties.
