Glitter Bomb strain

Description

Glitter Bomb is a stunning, trichome-heavy indica-dominant hybrid (roughly 70% indica / 30% sativa) famous for its dazzling bag appeal and potent, deeply relaxing effects. The name perfectly describes the thick, sparkling layer of crystalline trichomes that cover the buds, making them literally glitter under light.

This strain delivers a smooth euphoric lift followed by heavy body relaxation and calm. It combines sweet grape-berry candy flavors with a rich, gassy kush backbone — making it a favorite for evening unwind, pain relief, and stress reduction.

Buds are dense, dark green to deep purple, covered in a shimmering frost of white trichomes with bright orange pistils for exceptional visual appeal and strong concentrate potential.
