Hollywood Pickle
Also known as: Hollywood Pickles
Hollywood Pickle Strain Overview
Hollywood Pickle is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from the California cannabis scene in the early 2010s. The strain gained attention primarily through word-of-mouth among connoisseurs and boutique growers rather than widespread commercial distribution. Its exact origins remain somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming to have developed the strain, though most sources trace it to Southern California's medical cannabis community.
The strain is characterized by its distinctive pickle-like aroma, which gives it its unusual name. The buds typically display a dense, indica-dominant structure with vibrant green coloration and occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. Orange pistils weave through the compact buds, which are often heavily coated in frosty trichomes. The visual appeal combined with its unique terpene profile has made Hollywood Pickle a sought-after strain among collectors and flavor enthusiasts.
Notably, Hollywood Pickle represents an interesting case of terpene expression in cannabis, with its dominant dill and pickle notes being relatively uncommon in mainstream strains. This has made it a subject of interest for terpene researchers and breeders looking to expand the aromatic diversity of cannabis cultivars. The strain's effects are typically described as balanced, with both cerebral and physical components, though individual experiences may vary based on phenotype expression and cultivation methods.

Hollywood Pickle Strain Growing Information
Hollywood Pickle is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under ideal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over the temperature fluctuations that can enhance its purple coloration. Plants tend to stay relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Hollywood Pickle responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Growers should monitor humidity levels carefully during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense bud structure can be susceptible in high humidity conditions. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some phenotypes showing sensitivity to nitrogen during flowering.
