What is the Afterglow strain?
Afterglow is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its uplifted effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Afterglow is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by Irie Genetics through crossing Clementine and Arise. The breeder's goal with this cross was to keep the sweet Clementine flavor and aroma while improving vigor, yield, and potency. Clementine imparts sunburst citrus terpenes and an uplifting sativa boost, while Arise adds vigor, resilience, and robust branching along with extra potency. This strain emerged as part of the ongoing evolution of cannabis varieties that emphasize balanced effects combining relaxation with energizing properties.
The plants are tall and sturdy, producing dense buds rich in trichomes, which are visually appealing with vibrant shades of green and orange. Afterglow is known for its sweet, citrusy aroma, with strong notes of clementines, peaches, and champagne, with some phenotypes displaying mimosa-like characteristics. Some phenotypes may display leaves that appear twisted or wrinkled, which is common in mid to late flower in some of the more colorful phenotypes. The strain has gained recognition in the cannabis community for its unique terpene profile and well-balanced effects that provide both mental stimulation and physical relaxation.
