Glass Slipper Strain

Updated: Nov 1

Who would have thought that anybody could ever think of naming a weed after one of the most iconic symbols in the history of Disney Princesses? After all, marijuana and Disney do not seem to go well together.


Information about Glass Slipper:


Nonetheless, after a particular strain was named Cinderella, perhaps breeders thought that it is only fitting to name another strain to represent the most popular shoes of all time and come up with the greatest pun in the history of cannabis names. Hence, the strain named Glass Slipper was born.


It may not be the best representation of Cinderella’s actual glass slipper, but perhaps every kid who loved Cinderella and grew up to be a cannabis user would still want to get their hands on this strain.

As iconic as the real glass slipper was, the Glass Slipper strain has also gained the attention of many cannabis users due to its own unique and notable attributes. Let us get to know more about them below.

The Glass Slipper is said to originate from the Netherlands but was later bred and grown in the US.


Although the place of its origin seems to be clear among the members of the cannabis community, its parent strains remain to be a subject for debate. The common theory goes that the Glass Slipper was developed by crossing the Cinderella 99 and Pineapple strains.


However, some would claim that the strain came from a different lineage. For instance, some sources believe that Cinderella 99 was paired with a different strain called The White. For this reason, the rest of the users decided to just stick to the idea that the Glass Slipper simply has an unknown origin.

Either way, the Glass Slipper has proven itself to be more than its questionable origin. In fact, here are some of the known and verified information about the strain that every interested cannabis user should know.

Effects

The Glass Slipper hybrid strain is quite a potent strain with THC levels that can reach up to 20%. Due to its potency and the intense head high, this strain is not suitable for first-time users. For casual users, it would be good to start with a small quantity and build up over time to have a higher tolerance level.

Glass Slipper Growing

Breeders suggest that growers should train the plant by pruning and bending the branches at the early stages of its vegetative state. Also, it is best to trim the plant’s fan leaves that can block the light from reaching through the lower branches.

Flowering Time

Indoors

If grown indoors, the Glass Slipper’s flowering stage can take about 9 to 10 weeks to complete. Once the buds are ready for harvest, the expected indoor yield should reach 16 to 20 ounces per square meter.


Outdoors

Outdoor cultivation, on the other hand, will allow a flowering stage that could last until late September to early October. The expected yield should be about 24 ounces per plant.
