Platinum Garlic Strain Overview
Platinum Garlic is an evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created through crossing GMO (Garlic Cookies) and Platinum strains by In House Genetics. This remarkable cultivar represents the fusion of two distinct genetic lineages - the pungent, savory GMO known for its garlic-forward aromatics, and the sophisticated Platinum strain that brings sweetness and trichome production. First developed as part of the modern terpene-focused breeding movement that gained momentum after 2015, Platinum Garlic has quickly established itself as a powerhouse strain in the cannabis community. The strain exhibits dense, olive green buds with minty undertones, thin light orange hairs, and a generous coating of frosty white crystal trichomes that give the flowers a silvery, platinum-like appearance. What sets Platinum Garlic apart is its unique ability to deliver both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation without being overly sedating, making it versatile for various consumption times and purposes. The strain's complex genetic background contributes to its well-rounded effects profile and distinctive sensory characteristics.

Platinum Garlic Strain Growing Information
Platinum Garlic is considered of moderate difficulty to grow, making it suitable for growers with some experience. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, with indoor plants typically reaching heights of 5-8 feet (maximum 60 inches) and outdoor plants achieving similar stature. Flowering time ranges from 55-75 days (approximately 8-10 weeks), with most growers reporting harvest readiness around 60-68 days. Indoor yields average around 400 grams per square meter, while outdoor cultivation can produce up to 500 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers temperate climates and requires attention to humidity control due to its dense bud structure, which makes it susceptible to mold and mildew. Proper ventilation and humidity management (59-63%) are crucial for successful cultivation. The plants exhibit a tall stretch during flowering and respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to optimize light exposure and maximize yields.
