The Genealogy of the Permanent Marker Cannabis Strain

Permanent Marker has been named the 2023 Leaf Strain of the Year, capping a two-year breakthrough in the mainstream weed industry. But what is it? Here's the genealogy that explains what's going on with Seed Junky Genetics' hit strain.

Think of permanent marker as an ultra-sophisticated gelato job.

This story begins with Northern California breeder Jigga and his partner Berner and the Cookies strain – also known as Girl Scout Cookies, GSC – that launched the global lifestyle brand and changed the game in the 2000s.

  1. GSC conceived Sunset sorbet with pink panties.
  2. Sunset Sherbert fathered Gelato with a type of GSC, Thin mint.
  3. Ice cream has, so to speak, fathered everything, too Biscotti.

Good genes spread. GSC came to the Los Angeles stable of breeders Seed Junky via the Sin Mint Cookies line from Las Vegas. Seed Junky has processed Sin Mint into Kush Mints, a foundational strain for the brand. They celebrated their breakthrough with their Animal Mints work and started the cake wave with Wedding Cake.

By 2020, Permanent Marker has brought together various sophisticated threads, unfolding from GSC to Gelato. It is (Biscott1 S1 x Sherb Bx1) x Jealousy F2. Also known as Adios MF and Gunnpowwder, Doja Pak marketed it as a permanent marker. It can be summed up as “hyper-refinements of gelato, sherbert and biscotti”.

Permanent Marker is a gelato work so sophisticated that it leaves GSC's earthier hashish roots behind and focuses on smells reminiscent of strange synthetic petro-solvents.

Pull the cross apart:

—Jealousy F2 male is made of refined Jealousy, namely Sherb Bx1 x Gelato 41. You can process it as Refined Gelato.

—Biscotti S1 is made from Biscotti times itself. And Biscotti is Gelato x an OG Kush. So it's sophisticated OG gelato.

Now a whole range of new permanent marker crosses awaits you. There will certainly be many official and unauthorized ones coming. Here are the ones we know:

  • Red eyes (permanent marker x LCG)
  • Magic Marker (RS11 x Permanent Marker Bx1)
  • Scratch and Sniff (Gelato #41 x Animal Mints Bx x Permanent Marker)
  • Sherb Cake (Permanent Marker x Purple Push Pop)
  • Permanent Paradise (PermMark x Z Bx2)
  • Permanent Pineapple, also called Permanent Fruz (Permanent Marker x Pineapple Fruz)
  • Banana Cream Pie x Permanent Marker
  • Chimera x permanent marker with Beleaf the hunter
  • Giraffe P2 x Permanent Marker with Doja Pak
  • Permanent Marker x Jello Shotz = Permanent Marker
  • Pure Kush x permanent marker
  • Hawaiian Rain (Z x SherbBx1) x Permanent Marker

Seed Junky J Beezy is particularly interested in the Jello Shotz and Giraffe P2 lines. “In my opinion it is currently the best candy-gas combination. That’s what I’m concentrating on right now.”

Seed Junky's founder said to buy directly from SeedJunkyGenetics.com to avoid sickly clones that don't do the strain justice. “Don’t judge until you find your own Guardian.”
