Light Pink
Also known as: Pink Light, Light Pink Kush
Light Pink Strain Overview
Light Pink is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that has gained attention among connoisseurs for its distinctive appearance and balanced effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with most sources suggesting it emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2010s. Breeders likely developed Light Pink by crossing Pink Kush genetics with other indica-dominant varieties, though the precise lineage remains undocumented in most cannabis databases. The strain represents a modern approach to cannabis breeding, focusing on both aesthetic appeal and functional effects.
The strain's name derives from its unique visual characteristics. Light Pink buds typically display a pale green base color with subtle pink and purple hues that develop during flowering, particularly when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures. The flowers are dense and resinous, often covered in a generous coating of trichomes that gives them a frosty appearance. The pistils (hairs) frequently exhibit the pink coloration that gives the strain its name. The buds are typically medium to large in size with a tight, indica-like structure.
Light Pink is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines sweet, floral notes with earthy undertones. The flavor experience often begins with sweet berry and floral notes on inhalation, followed by earthy, woody tones on exhalation. The strain's effects are generally described as balanced, providing both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation. This makes it suitable for various times of day, though many users prefer it for afternoon or evening use. Due to its relative rarity, comprehensive information about Light Pink is limited compared to more established commercial strains.

Light Pink Strain Growing Information
Light Pink is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures.
Indoor yields are moderate, typically producing 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant when grown in favorable conditions. The plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Light Pink responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields.
Special considerations include maintaining stable temperature conditions, particularly during the flowering phase when cooler nighttime temperatures (around 15-18°C) can enhance the pink and purple coloration. The plants have moderate nutrient requirements and are somewhat sensitive to overfeeding. Proper airflow is important to prevent mold in the dense buds. The strain shows good resistance to common pests and diseases when grown in optimal conditions.
