The Glove
The Y × Snowman
The Glove, also known as Gary Payton, is an indica-dominant cultivar developed by Powerzzzup Genetics and popularized by Cookies. It gained recognition for its significant resin production and potent effects, often described as 'locking on' with tenacity.
Appearance
This cultivar typically presents medium-sized buds with a dense, compact structure reminiscent of cookie dough. When grown under cooler conditions, the buds may display hues of lavender and violet, contrasting with deep green foliage. They are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance, and are often adorned with fiery orange pistils.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is characterized by a prominent spicy gas profile, underpinned by notes of diesel and herbal spice. Secondary scents can include sweet cream, cookie dough, and subtle hints of citrus or berry. The flavor mirrors the aroma, offering a core of peppered cookie and gas, with a creamy-sweet finish and a lingering diesel aftertaste. Some phenotypes may also present a lemon-peel or orange-zest note.
Effects
Consumers report that The Glove delivers potent effects that can feel tenacious, impacting both mood and mental state. The experience is often described as calming and focusing, with a rapid onset and a memorable, long-lasting sensation. Its potency is a key characteristic, often associated with a significant resinous impact.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This strain is noted for its high THC content, commonly testing around 25%, with minimal CBD. The terpene profile is often dominated by beta-caryophyllene, contributing to its spicy, peppery, and gassy aroma. Limonene and humulene are also frequently present, adding citrusy and herbal or woody undertones, respectively. These terpenes contribute to the strain's complex aroma and flavor profile.
Origins & Lineage
The Glove cultivar is the result of a cross between The Y and Snowman, both originating from Powerzzzup Genetics. Snowman is known for its resin production and sweet, doughy aroma, while The Y contributes density and a broad terpene palette influenced by Cookies and Cherry Pie genetics. This pairing is credited with creating the strain's signature 'gas-meets-dessert' profile.
Growing
Gary Payton is noted for its relatively consistent genetic expression, making it manageable for growers. It typically develops into a medium-height plant with a compact structure, short internodes, and dense, rounded colas. The plant is predisposed to heavy trichome coverage, making it visually appealing and desirable for resin extraction.
