Burma Glue
Also known as: Burmese Glue
Burma Glue Strain Overview
Burma Glue is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing two well-established parent strains: Burmese Kush and Gorilla Glue #4. This combination brings together the exotic landrace genetics of Southeast Asia with the potent, resinous characteristics of a modern American hybrid. The strain emerged in the mid-2010s as breeders sought to combine the unique terpene profile of Burmese landrace varieties with the high-THC production and sticky resin coverage for which Gorilla Glue strains are famous.
The strain typically produces dense, conical buds with a frosty trichome coverage that gives them a sticky, glue-like texture. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to olive tones, often with vibrant orange pistils weaving through the flowers. Burma Glue's buds are known for their resin production, which makes them particularly suitable for extraction purposes. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational users and medical patients for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile.
Notable features include its robust growth structure inherited from the Burmese Kush parent and the exceptional trichome production from the Gorilla Glue lineage. The strain maintains a moderate height compared to pure sativas but exhibits the branching structure typical of hybrid varieties. While not as widely documented as its parent strains, Burma Glue has developed a following in certain cannabis communities for its unique combination of effects and flavors.

Burma Glue Strain Growing Information
Burma Glue is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants tend to reach medium height, usually between 100-150 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors.
Expected yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant in suitable climates. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and careful nutrient management as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. Training techniques like topping and low-stress training can help maximize yields and manage plant height.
