Setup for Growing Glitter Bomb

Before dropping your seeds, let’s talk setup. Glitter Bomb is a 70% indica / 30% sativa hybrid, so while it has that bushy indica growth, it also stretches taller than most indicas (60–70 inches). You’ll want to give it space, airflow, and support for those chunky buds.

Indoor Setup 🏠

• Light Cycle: 18/6 for veg, 12/12 for flower
• Lighting: Full-spectrum LED grow lights are your best friend. Aim for 600–1000 PPFD in flower.
• Temperature: 70–78°F (21–25°C) during the day, 65–70°F (18–21°C) at night
• Humidity:
  • Veg: 55–65%
  • Flower: 40–50% (drop lower in late flower to avoid mold)
• Training: Glitter Bomb responds beautifully to LST and topping (a must if you don’t want it hitting the lights).
• Nutrients: Heavy feeder! Give it a strong NPK ratio in veg, then boost phosphorus and potassium during flowering for max trichome production.

Outdoor Setup 🌳

• Climate: Best suited for warm, sunny climates with stable temps. Mediterranean-style weather = perfection.
• Harvest: Early–mid October, depending on conditions.
• Soil: Rich, well-draining soil with extra compost and perlite for root health.
• Support: Use stakes or a trellis, buds get heavy.
• Sunlight: Minimum 6–8 hours direct sun daily.

🌱 Grower tip: Indoors, Glitter Bomb loves SCROG setups. Spreading branches evenly means fatter colas and higher yields. Outdoors, give it root space (fabric pots or in-ground) to let it bulk up naturally.

Glitter Bomb Strain Growing Conditions

Week 1–2: Germination & Seedling

Your Glitter Bomb seeds are ready to pop, and this stage sets the tone for the entire grow. Start by germinating using the paper towel method (our guaranteed way). Keep the setup in a warm, dark place at 72–78°F (22–25°C) with humidity around 70–80%. Within 24–72 hours, you should see those little white taproots emerge.

Once sprouted, place the seedlings into light, airy soil or a starter cube. Keep them under a gentle grow light (200–300 PPFD), with an 18/6 light cycle. During this phase, your Glitter Bomb babies don’t need strong nutrients, just a mild seedling solution if you like, or plain pH-balanced water.

• Height: ~1–3 inches
• Light: 18/6, gentle intensity
• Watering: Small, frequent amounts (avoid soggy soil)
• Humidity: 65–70%

At this stage, focus on strong root development and preventing stress. Don’t overwater, don’t blast them with light, just let them establish. You’ll notice the first set of rounded cotyledon leaves, followed by the first serrated cannabis leaves. That’s your signal the Glitter Bomb strain is ready to accelerate into veg growth!

Week 3–4: Early Vegetative Growth

By now, your Glitter Bomb seedlings have established roots and are ready to start stacking leaves. Switch your focus to strong growth and structure.

• Light: Keep them on an 18/6 cycle, but increase intensity (400–600 PPFD).
• Humidity: Lower slightly to 60–65% to avoid mold.
• Temperature: 72–80°F (22–27°C).
• Watering: Increase volume as roots spread, water when the top inch of soil is dry.
• Nutrients: Start light feedings with vegetative nutrients high in nitrogen.

This is the perfect time to begin Low Stress Training (LST) to open up the canopy and prepare for heavy bud development later. Tie branches gently to spread them horizontally, allowing more light to hit future bud sites. For guidance, check out our step-by-step LST guide.

• Height: ~6–12 inches by the end of Week 4
• Appearance: Lush green growth, multiple sets of fan leaves
• Goal: Build a strong, wide plant base to handle heavy buds later

Your Glitter Bomb is now transforming from a delicate seedling into a powerhouse vegetative plant. Keep the environment dialed in, and you’ll soon see why this strain can yield so heavily.

Week 5–6: Late Vegetative & Pre-Flowering

By now, your Glitter Bomb plants are showing off their indica-dominant vigor, with strong branching and thick leaves. This stage is all about preparing them for their explosive flower run.

• Light: Keep them under 18/6 but increase to 600–750 PPFD.
• Temperature: 70–78°F (21–25°C).
• Humidity: Drop slightly to 55–60% to reduce the risk of mold.
• Training: Continue LST or consider topping if you want multiple main colas. Stop training by the end of Week 6 to avoid stressing the plant before flower.
• Watering & Nutrients: Shift to stronger veg nutrients, with higher nitrogen, calcium, and magnesium to support rapid growth.

At this stage, your Glitter Bomb should be:

• Height: 12–20 inches
• Structure: Wide, bushy, multiple colas forming
• Goal: Prepare the plant for flowering, strong roots, even canopy, and healthy growth

By the end of Week 6, you’ll start noticing pre-flower pistils forming. This is your signal that she’s ready to flip into the bloom phase.

💡 Tip: Make sure your grow space is light-proof before switching to 12/12. Glitter Bomb responds quickly, but light leaks can cause hermaphroditism.

Week 7–10: Flowering (Bud Development)

Once you flip to 12/12 light, your Glitter Bomb will shift energy into bud production. This is where the magic happens.

• Light: 12/12 schedule, increase intensity to 800–1000 PPFD for maximum bud growth.
• Temperature: 68–77°F (20–25°C), keep nights a little cooler for denser buds.
• Humidity: Lower to 45–50% to prevent bud rot.
• Nutrients: Transition to bloom nutrients with higher phosphorus and potassium for flower stacking. Keep feeding calcium and magnesium.
• Watering: Plants will drink more, ensure soil dries slightly between waterings.

What to Expect

• Week 7–8: Bud sites swell, pistils multiply, and trichomes start to sparkle ✨.
• Week 9: Terpenes kick in, filling the room with earthy, fruity, sweet grapefruit aromas.
• Week 10: Buds reach peak density, coated in glittering resin. True to its name, Glitter Bomb looks explosive at this stage.
• Height: 20–30 inches indoors (up to 70 inches outdoors).
• Bud Structure: Chunky, sticky, resin-packed colas with deep purple hues possible.

💡 Tip: Keep good airflow around the canopy. Glitter Bomb is resin-heavy, which makes her prone to mold if air is stagnant. Small fans will be your best friend here.

Week 11–12: Final Weeks & Harvest

This is the stage where your Glitter Bomb truly lives up to its name: frosty, explosive, and ready for harvest.

• Light: Keep 12/12 but slightly dim to reduce stress on buds.
• Temperature: 65–72°F (18–22°C). Drop nights to the lower end to bring out color expression.
• Humidity: Bring it down to 40–45% — dry air helps lock in terpenes and prevents mold.
• Nutrients: Begin a 2-week flush (pure pH-balanced water) to clear excess salts and give buds a smoother flavor.
• Watering: Less frequent but consistent, don’t let roots dry completely.

Harvest Readiness Signs

• Pistils: 70–90% have turned amber or orange.
• Trichomes: Check with a magnifier, cloudy with some amber means peak potency.
• Aroma: Expect a pungent mix of grapefruit, sweet berry, earthy kush, and gas filling your grow space.

Yields

• Indoors: 1.5–2 oz/ft² with proper care.
• Outdoors: 18–22 oz/plant in the right climate.

Once harvested, dry slowly in 60°F/15°C & 60% RH for 10–14 days, then cure in airtight jars for 2–4 weeks. This enhances flavor, smoothness, and resin quality — giving Glitter Bomb its explosive profile.

🔥 With up to 35% THC, this strain isn’t just high-yielding, it’s one of the most potent indica-dominant hybrids you can grow.
