Glass Apple Seeds

Growing Tips for Glass Apple

Glass Apple is a difficult strain to grow if you have minimal prior cultivation experience. Glass Apple marijuana plants will thrive indoors and outdoors, but have an easier time growing indoors because of the ability to completely control the climate. If you choose to grow indoors, you will have to replicate a steady environment similar to the climate of the Mediterranean. Glass Apple cannabis seeds grow into leafy plants that appear to be both green and purple under certain lights.

If you choose to grow outdoors, you will need consistent temperature and humidity to grow these plants to completion. Doing so will ensure that you grow healthy buds from the top of the plants to the buds closest to the soil. Having access to a greenhouse is the best way to give these plants the perfect outdoor climate without having to contend with unexpected outdoor variables. These plants grow from short heights and can reach around 90–120 centimetres tall. Because the plants reach a maximum indoor and outdoor height of less than 120 centimetres, you can grow them in smaller grow setups like closets, balconies, and even garden grows.

The ideal temperature for these plants is around 18–24 degrees Celsius and slightly cooler at night. Humidity levels should be kept around 30–60% during the vegetative growth stage and the flowering stage, but lowering the humidity every week will help this plant grow. Growing indoors will ensure that the moderate humidity levels and moderate temperatures are consistent and maintained every day that the plants are in the growing stages.

Topping and Low-stress training (LST) methods are the best training techniques for this particular strain of cannabis. If performed correctly and at the right time, these techniques will promote bud production and increase final yields. LST manipulates the plants by tying down the branches to increase the size and density of the buds while allowing them to grow almost naturally. Topping is used to control the height of the plant and buds. The Glass Apple strain requires an 18–20 hour light cycle to reach the vegetative growth stage. Changing the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle will help to induce the flowering stage of growth and get your plants to harvest.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Glass Apple strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 55–65 days.
• Yields: Indoor yields are around 450 grams per square metre, while outdoor grows typically produce up to 500 grams per plant. Solid yields from a smaller plant.
• Harvest: Outdoor growers across Canada can plan on harvesting their yields around the middle of October, depending on when the seeds were planted.

Glass Apple: Fruity and Tart

The Glass Apple cannabis strain terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes, and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is myrcene, while ocimene and terpineol are the secondary terpenes.

• Myrcene: Most Dominant - Myrcene is earthy in scent and flavour and found almost exclusively in cannabis plants.
• Ocimene: Secondary Terpene - Responsible for the sweet and herbaceous flavours that you can find in certain cannabis cultivars.
• Terpineol: Aromatic - While Terpineol is often found in Indica varieties, it can also prove beneficial when found in Sativa-dominant strains.
