Pure Glitter
Pure Glitter Strain Overview
Pure Glitter is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular strains Gelato and Glitter Bomb. It was bred to combine the potent, dessert-like qualities of Gelato with the sparkling trichome production and uplifting effects of Glitter Bomb. The strain emerged in the late 2010s from the competitive California cannabis scene, where breeders sought to create visually striking and powerfully aromatic cultivars. While its exact origin story is not widely documented in mainstream cannabis literature, it has gained recognition among connoisseurs and in certain dispensary markets for its balanced effects and resinous buds.
The plant is characterized by dense, conical buds that are heavily coated in a thick layer of crystal-like trichomes, giving the flowers a 'glittering' appearance that inspired its name. The coloration is typically a deep green with occasional purple hues, complemented by vibrant orange pistils. The foliage is often compact, reflecting its indica-leaning structure. A notable feature is its exceptionally high trichome density, which makes it a candidate for hash and extract production.
The aroma and flavor profile is complex and dessert-oriented, primarily inherited from its Gelato parentage. Users commonly report a sweet, creamy base with notes of berries and citrus, followed by a gassy, earthy undertone upon combustion. The smoke is generally described as smooth and flavorful. Pure Glitter is considered a moderately potent strain suitable for experienced consumers, with effects that unfold in a balanced, hybrid manner.

Pure Glitter Strain Growing Information
Pure Glitter is considered a strain of moderate difficulty to cultivate, better suited for growers with some experience. It has a flowering time of approximately 8 to 9 weeks when grown indoors. The plant tends to stay of medium height, making it manageable for indoor spaces, but it can also be grown outdoors in a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with a harvest ready in late September to early October. Expected yields are average to above-average, with indoor growers reporting around 14 to 16 ounces per square meter. The plant prefers stable conditions and benefits from techniques like low-stress training (LST) to improve light penetration and support its dense bud structure. Special consideration should be given to humidity control during the late flowering stage to prevent mold due to its thick, resinous buds.
