Glowstarz

Glowstarz is the result of a masterful combination of two celebrated strains. One parent is San Fernando Valley OG Kush (SFV OG), renowned for its earthy, pine-infused smoothness and potency. The other is Gelato 33, a Cookies-influenced strain noted for its energetic euphoria and pronounced sweet flavors. This hybrid showcases the best traits of its lineage, offering a well-balanced profile of flavor and effects.

Glowstarz delivers a captivating sensory experience. From its Kush parentage come deep tones of gas (diesel), pine, and metal, while its Gelato 33 lineage adds a sweet and pungent edge. The fusion of these profiles results in a full-bodied aroma and taste that will appeal to connoisseurs and casual consumers alike.

Glowstarz provides an uplifting euphoric charge that fuels creativity and socializing, making it a great choice for daytime or recreational use. Its indica influence offers a warm body relaxation that enhances the experience without overwhelming the user, maintaining a perfect balance between energy and contentment.

This strain is well-suited for consumers seeking appetite stimulation, mood enhancement, and relief from stress or pain. Consistent use throughout the day can produce deep relaxation and a soothing sedative effect, making it a valuable option for consumers managing chronic conditions.

Indoors: Glowstarz is a medium-sized, sturdy plant that rarely exceeds 1.5 meters in height. Its architecture follows a typical Kush structure but with a more open growth pattern. It thrives in a variety of indoor setups, delivering excellent results with minimal effort.

Indoor Yield: 500 g per m²

Outdoors: This strain’s versatility makes it a strong candidate for outdoor cultivation, adapting well to environments ranging from Mediterranean heat to rainy northern climates. Growers in cooler, wetter regions will particularly appreciate Glowstarz’s robust disease resistance, ensuring strong performance in challenging conditions.

Outdoor Yield: 800 g per plant

Below is a detailed grow report of this strain tested by the green fingered guidance of grower Prawn Connery.

Germination and Vegetative Stage

Three Glowstarz cannabis seeds were germinated in a glass of water (with a drop of H202) and transferred after 24 hours to a wet paper towel. All 3 seeds popped within two days. The seeds were planted in soil and placed under lights and after just two days the root and stem had broken through.
Seedling growth was fast and vigorous.

They were kept in vegetative stage for 3 weeks under an 18/6 light cycle, during which all three plants showed a moderate stretch. The growth pattern showed distinctive sativa characteristics with long internodes, the side branches extending from the main cola.

At the end of the vegetative stage the three plants stood around the 30 – 35 cm mark.

Flowering Stage

The plants were put into flower with a 12/12 lighting schedule, with 6 x 1 minute feeds during the 12 hour light-on period. There was a significantly more stretch during the flowering phase and this was accompanied by a real thickening of side branches, with all three plants showing a high calyx to leaf ratio.

From the three plants two phenotypes announced themselves.

Two of the plants were slightly shorter and leafier, sweeter in smell and not so oily. The second phenotype (one plant) was a little taller with quite long internodal spacing. It had a distinctive peppermint smell and although it yielded slightly less, it was much more resinous.

All plants produced buds which were more indica in their form despite their sativa structure. They were very dense and stacked up like short, fat foxtails as the flower stage progressed.

As harvest time approached, the terpenes in the grow room were sweet and minty, with hints of pine, diesel (fuel) and tropical fruit.

Finishing heights were 120, 125, and 140 cm and yielding a combined 350 gram (120, 130, 100).

Smell and Smoke Report

That sweet and minty smell carried over from the grow room as the dominant ‘dried’ aroma but a squeeze of the buds also released a waft of pine and fruit with a deeper fuel aroma.

Rolled up in a pure joint, Glowstarz delivered a taste that reflected sweet and sour terpene profile with the sweetness at the forefront and the minty fuel tones lingering in the mouth after the first taste.

Glowstarz delivers a creeper high that is not very discernible at first but starts to come on strong after a few minutes and keeps getting stronger. The high is very much in the head, but with a nice warm after-glow and feeling of well-being, bordering on euphoria.

A very pleasant and optimistic high with no paranoia at all that only settles into a body high with heavier use later in the evening.

To sum up the strain, this is a very enjoyable smoke that is still very strong, and its munchies-inducing nature make it a good choice for medical users who are seeking a strain with lucid relaxation and appetite stimulant qualities.
