The Light
The Light Strain Overview
The Light is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Exotic Genetix, known for its uplifting yet calming effects and unique terpene profile. The strain was created by crossing the popular strains Gelato and Sherbet, combining the best characteristics of both parent strains. First introduced to the cannabis market in the late 2010s, The Light has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its well-rounded effects and complex flavor profile.
The Light produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, resinous structure typical of its Gelato lineage. The flowers exhibit a striking appearance with deep purple hues often appearing alongside vibrant orange pistils, all covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes. The strain's name reflects both its light-colored trichome coverage and its reputation for providing a clear-headed, uplifting experience that many users describe as 'enlightening' rather than sedating.
This strain is particularly noted for its balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day. The Light has become increasingly popular in both medical and recreational markets due to its versatility and manageable growing characteristics. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream strains, it has developed a dedicated following among those who appreciate its unique combination of Gelato's creamy sweetness and Sherbet's citrus notes.

The Light Strain Growing Information
The Light is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a Mediterranean climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity to prevent mold issues. Plants tend to grow to a medium height of 120-160 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors, with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping and low-stress training. The Light responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods and requires good nutrient management, particularly during the flowering phase when it develops its dense, resinous buds.
Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow around the dense buds and monitoring for pests, as the thick foliage can create hiding places. The strain's purple coloration becomes more pronounced with cooler nighttime temperatures during the final weeks of flowering. Growers should note that The Light has a strong aroma during flowering that requires adequate odor control measures.
