Glow Plug
Glow Plug Strain Overview
Glow Plug is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular strains Gelato and Zkittlez. This genetic combination brings together Gelato's potent, dessert-like qualities with Zkittlez's fruity, uplifting characteristics. The strain emerged in the late 2010s as breeders sought to create a balanced hybrid with strong visual appeal and complex flavor profiles. While its exact origin story remains somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding circles, Glow Plug has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its distinctive appearance and well-rounded effects.
Visually, Glow Plug plants produce dense, conical buds that display a striking color contrast between deep purple and vibrant green foliage. The flowers are typically covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes, giving them a sparkling appearance that likely inspired the strain's name. Orange pistils weave through the buds, adding to the visual appeal. The strain's aroma is complex, blending sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones and a hint of gas.
Glow Plug is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The plants tend to grow to medium height with a bushy structure, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation in appropriate climates. The strain has gained particular popularity in the recreational cannabis market of legalized states, where its balanced effects and appealing appearance have made it a favorite among both new and experienced consumers.

Glow Plug Strain Growing Information
Glow Plug is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience with cannabis cultivation. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity during flowering. Plants grow to medium height (3-5 feet indoors, 4-6 feet outdoors) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like low-stress training (LST).
