Pilot Light
Pilot Light Strain Overview
Pilot Light is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Exotic Genetix. The strain was created by crossing the popular strains GMO Cookies and The Menthol, resulting in a genetic profile that combines the potent effects and complex flavors of its parentage. While not as widely known as some mainstream varieties, Pilot Light has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its distinctive terpene profile and reliable effects.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a structure that leans slightly toward its indica heritage. The flowers are often characterized by deep green hues with occasional purple undertones, complemented by a generous coating of trichomes that gives them a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating visual contrast. The aroma profile is particularly notable, combining fuel-like notes with sweet, earthy undertones and hints of mint.
Pilot Light is known for providing a balanced experience that begins with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to physical relaxation. The effects are typically described as functional and manageable, making it suitable for various times of day. The strain's name references both its ability to provide a gentle, warming effect and its fuel-like aroma profile. While not as commercially widespread as some other hybrids, Pilot Light maintains a dedicated following among those who appreciate its unique combination of characteristics.

Pilot Light Strain Growing Information
Pilot Light is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields are average to above average, with proper cultivation techniques producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plants tend to maintain a manageable height, usually staying between 100-150 cm indoors, though they can grow taller outdoors. Pilot Light responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. The strain prefers a stable environment with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold. Both indoor and outdoor cultivation are possible, with indoor growing allowing better environmental control. Growers should monitor nutrient levels carefully as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding.
