Petro Chem Strain Overview
Petro Chem is a potent hybrid cannabis strain created by Archive Seed Bank, resulting from crossing Gorilla Glue #4 with MoonBow #75. This sativa-dominant hybrid (approximately 50/50 indica/sativa genetics) represents the pinnacle of modern cannabis breeding, combining the legendary resin production and potency of Gorilla Glue #4 with the exotic fruity terpene profile of MoonBow #75. The strain emerged as part of the growing demand for 'gas' cultivars between 2018 and 2022, appealing to consumers seeking high-potency alternatives to sweet dessert strains.
The strain produces visually striking, compact trichome-frosted buds that are often tinted with lime to olive hues under a constellation of amber pistils. Buds form in golf ball-shaped clusters distributed at each node, creating dense, resinous flowers covered in a thick coating of crystal trichomes. The plant structure exhibits vigorous, tall, and well-branched growth characteristics, making it an excellent variety for training techniques like SCROG, pruning, and trellising when cultivated indoors. Its powerful aromatic profile combines chemical glue notes with exotic fruity touches, creating what growers describe as an 'olfactory assault' with strong astringent chemical glue odors enhanced by pleasing tropical and herbal terpenes.

Petro Chem Strain Growing Information
Petro Chem is considered a moderately experienced grower strain that thrives with space and structure. The sativa-dominant hybrid produces vigorous, tall, and well-branched plants that respond excellently to pruning and training techniques. Indoor cultivation requires carbon filtration due to its powerful and persistent fragrance. Flowering time ranges from 65-70 days (9-10 weeks), with generous yields of dense, trichome-covered flowers. The plant structure naturally forms golf ball-shaped clusters at each node, making it ideal for SCROG and trellising methods. Outdoors, it produces very large, wide, and tall plants that perform best in hot climates or greenhouses to protect dense buds from humidity. Expected yields are medium to high, with excellent returns for resin extraction similar to its Gorilla Glue #4 parent.
