The flowering time ranges between 49 and 70 days. Under the right conditions and with proper care, the weed can blossom in less than two months.

The weed that’s popular with users is naturally, also popular with growers. Thanks to the fast flowering time and the moderate growing process difficulty, growers really love this strain. You can find it in many dispensaries if you know where to look.

How To Grow?

The gas strain is characterized by small flowers in a pine cone shape, tapering down into a pointed tip from a broad base. The flowers have a dense, compact structure, and leaves that will curl inward toward the stems. The leaves curl rather tightly and have a mossy green color. They are twisted through with hairs in a vibrant orange color called pistils. The pistils are reproductive structures that catch pollen from the male plants.

If you are planning to grow them, know that these have a high volume of white, glassy trichomes with a sticky texture. This makes it hard to break up unless you use a quality grinder.

Seeds of gas are available in dispensaries, but can hardly be found online. Growers that want to foster this particular strain need to obtain clippings and grow them as clones. The gas strain has short and bushy plants that thrive indoors and outdoors, making them rather simple to take care of.

However, if they do decide for outdoor cultivation, they require a semi-humid climate, preferably somewhere across the Mediterranean. Since it requires a moderate frequency of care, gardeners need to top the crops and trim away the leaves that are blocking the light from reaching the lower parts of the plant.

When the Gas strain is properly cured, it will emit an earthy, rich aroma that resembles the aroma of damp soil. Underneath, you’ll notice a hanging bright acidity that reminds of citrus. But, when you grind up the flowers, you’ll notice strong fumes of ammonia and diesel. That’s where the strain got its name.

When the Gas is combusted in a joint or a pipe, it burns with an acrid smoke known to give the sinuses and the palate a bit of a sting. The smoke tastes woodsy and has light hints of lemon when the user exhales.
