Thermite
Thermite Strain Overview
Thermite is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the indica-dominant strain GMO (also known as Garlic Cookies) with the sativa-dominant strain Wedding Cake. The strain was created by breeders seeking to combine the potent effects and complex flavor profiles of its parent strains. While its exact origin story remains somewhat obscure within cannabis breeding circles, Thermite has gained a cult following among connoisseurs for its unique characteristics and powerful effects.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds that exhibit a striking appearance. The nugs are often medium to large in size, with a structure that leans slightly indica-dominant. Thermite's coloration is notable, featuring deep forest green foliage contrasted by vibrant orange pistils. A thick coating of frosty trichomes gives the buds a shimmering, crystalline appearance that indicates high potency. The visual appeal is further enhanced by occasional purple hues that may appear in cooler growing conditions.
Thermite is particularly distinguished by its complex aromatic and flavor profile, which inherits and blends characteristics from both parent strains. Users describe a multi-layered experience that evolves during consumption. The strain's effects are typically described as balanced yet potent, with an onset that begins cerebrally before settling into full-body relaxation. Due to its high THC content, Thermite is generally recommended for experienced consumers, and novice users should approach with caution.

Thermite Strain Growing Information
Thermite is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor harvests in the Northern Hemisphere usually occur in late September to early October. Thermite plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching medium height that makes them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Indoor growers can expect moderate to high yields with proper care. The strain prefers a stable environment with consistent temperatures and humidity control. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and mold, particularly in the dense buds. Some training techniques like topping or low-stress training can help maximize yields and light penetration.
