Growing Tips for Elmer’s Glue
Elmer’s Glue Auto is tricky to grow and takes an intermediate level of experience to cultivate properly. Elmer’s Glue Auto 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. Elmer’s Glue Auto cannabis seeds produce lanky plants with thin branches and limbs holding up dense green and orange buds. It is those same trichomes that make this strain super sticky and give it its name. If you choose to grow outdoors, you will need to hope for 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 put up with unexpected outdoor variables. These plants grow to a medium/tall height and can reach around 2-7 feet tall. Because the plants reach a maximum indoor and outdoor height of 7 feet, they may require more vertical grow space than the indoor plants need to be harvestable. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit and slightly cooler at night. Humidity levels should be kept around 40-60% 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. Screen of Green (ScrOG), High-stress training (HST), 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. These methods will help to adjust the plant height and width so that they are more manageable. LST manipulates the plant to increase the size and density of the buds, while the Screen of Green method reinforces the heaviest bud sites so the branches don’t break. The Elmer’s Glue Auto strain requires an 18-hour light cycle to reach the vegetative growth stage. This strain does not need a change in the light cycle to induce the flowering stage of growth.
Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest
- Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Elmer’s Glue Auto strain to harvest after a flowering period of 60-70 days.
- Yields: While Indoor yields are around 500 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 600 grams per plant. These yields are massive and a solid harvest for experienced growers.
- Harvest: Outdoor growers can plan on harvesting their yields around the end of October, depending on when the seeds were planted.
Elmer’s Glue Auto: Sweet & Sour Pine
The Elmer’s Glue Auto 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 camphene, while myrcene and caryophyllene are the secondary terpenes.
- Camphene: Most Dominant – When found in cannabis plants, camphene provides an earthy, woody, and pine-like aroma.
- Myrcene: Secondary Terpene – Myrcene is responsible for some cannabis strains’ earthy and woody flavor and aroma.
- Caryophyllene: Spicy Terpene – Spicy and peppery, caryophyllene is mostly found in cloves, black pepper, and cannabis plants.
