Super Glue
Super Glue
Also known as: Tacky Glue, Superglue
Overview
Super Glue is an indica-dominant hybrid strain that emerged from the cross between two legendary cannabis varieties: Afghani landrace and Northern Lights. Originally bred by Seedism Seeds, this strain has gained recognition in cannabis communities for its potent effects and distinctive characteristics. Super Glue is composed of approximately 60% indica and 40% sativa genetics, creating a well-balanced hybrid that leans toward the relaxing indica side.
The strain earned its name from its notorious ability to cause "couch lock," essentially gluing users to their seats due to its deeply sedating properties. Visually, Super Glue is distinguished by its dense buds covered in frosty, sticky white trichomes that give them an almost glossy sheen, making them difficult to break up without a grinder. The buds feature vibrant orange-red pistils twisted through deep green leaves, creating an attractive appearance that indicates the strain's high quality and potency.
Super Glue has achieved notable recognition in cannabis competitions, winning second place in the High Times Strongest Strains On Earth 2017 (with THC content reaching 32%) and first place for Best Hybrid in the High Times 2019 Cannabis Cup Nevada. The strain is renowned for its impressive THC content, with some samples recording concentrations up to 32.14%, making it one of the more potent strains available in the cannabis market.

Growing Information
Super Glue is described as moderately difficult to grow, requiring regular trimming which can be challenging due to the sticky trichomes from high THC levels. The strain has a relatively short flowering period of 8-9 weeks, making it attractive to growers seeking faster harvests. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor cultivation can produce 500-700 grams per plant. The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, with indoor heights reaching 80-120cm and outdoor plants growing 120-200cm tall. Super Glue prefers consistent temperatures between 70-80°F (21-27°C) with low humidity during flowering to prevent mold. The strain is moderately resistant to disease but susceptible to mold due to its dense bud clusters, requiring good airflow throughout the plant. It responds well to SOG (Sea of Green) and SCROG (Screen of Green) training methods.
