Gaslight
Also known as: Gas Light, Gaslight OG
Gaslight Strain Overview
Gaslight is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its potent effects and distinctive aromatic profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat debated within the cannabis community, but it is generally accepted to be a cross between two well-known strains, often cited as OG Kush and another potent indica or hybrid. It emerged in the early 2010s, becoming notable in the West Coast cannabis scene for its strong, fuel-like aroma that gives the strain its name. The name 'Gaslight' references both this pungent scent and the strain's reputation for potentially intense, mind-altering effects.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds that are forest green in color, often with dark purple or blue hues brought out by cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are usually covered in a thick layer of milky-white trichomes and vibrant orange pistils. Gaslight is characterized by its complex terpene profile, which creates a powerful aroma combining gassy, diesel notes with undertones of earth, pine, and sometimes a hint of citrus or spice. This makes it particularly appealing to consumers who enjoy robust, skunky varieties.
Gaslight is known for delivering a powerful, full-bodied experience that begins with cerebral effects before settling into deep physical relaxation. Its potency and distinctive sensory characteristics have made it a favorite among experienced users. While not as historically documented as some classic strains, Gaslight has secured a place in modern cannabis culture through its consistent performance and memorable profile. It is often sought after by those looking for strong relief from various conditions or simply a profound recreational experience.

Gaslight Strain Growing Information
Gaslight is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, better suited for growers with some experience. It has a flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in late September to early October. The strain tends to produce medium to high yields, especially when given adequate space and nutrients. It prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate if grown outdoors, but adapts well to indoor setups with controlled environments.
