What is the After Glow strain?
After Glow is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
After Glow is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the indica-dominant OG Kush with the sativa-dominant Blue Dream. This strain emerged in the early 2010s from California's cannabis breeding scene, where breeders sought to combine the relaxing body effects of OG Kush with the uplifting cerebral qualities of Blue Dream. The result is a versatile strain that has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its well-rounded effects and pleasant flavor profile.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, conical buds with a forest green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance that glistens under light. The buds are typically medium to large in size with a tight, compact structure that breaks apart easily to reveal complex aromatic compounds. After Glow's name references the lingering sense of contentment and relaxation that users often experience after consumption.
Notable features include its balanced genetic profile that provides both physical relaxation and mental stimulation without overwhelming sedation or excessive cerebral intensity. The strain has gained recognition in cannabis competitions and has become a staple in many dispensaries across legal markets. Its reliable effects and manageable growth characteristics have contributed to its sustained popularity among cultivators and consumers alike.

How do you grow After Glow?
After Glow is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments, though it thrives in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures.
