Also known as: Pacific Triangle Kush
What is the Pacific Triangle strain?
Pacific Triangle is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Pacific Triangle is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene, particularly associated with the Pacific Northwest region encompassing parts of California, Oregon, and Washington. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding records, it gained popularity in the early 2010s among cultivators in this 'triangle' region, from which it derives its name. The strain represents a carefully balanced genetic cross that combines notable West Coast genetics to create a versatile hybrid suitable for both recreational and potential therapeutic applications.
The plant produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, conical structure typical of many hybrid varieties. The flowers display a striking appearance with deep forest green foliage contrasted by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of milky white trichomes. The visual appeal is enhanced by occasional purple hues that may appear in cooler growing conditions, particularly during the final flowering stages. The buds are known for their resinous quality and sticky texture when properly cured.
Pacific Triangle is recognized for its complex aromatic profile that combines earthy, pine, and citrus notes with subtle undertones of diesel and spice. The flavor translates well to consumption, offering a smooth smoke with a lingering aftertaste that many users describe as pleasantly herbal with citrus accents. The strain's balanced effects and reliable performance have made it a favorite among both home growers and commercial producers in its region of origin, though it remains less widely distributed nationally compared to some mainstream commercial strains.

How do you grow Pacific Triangle?
Pacific Triangle is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-700 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The plants exhibit a medium height, usually reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors, with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training (LST) to improve light penetration and airflow. Pacific Triangle prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity when grown outdoors. Indoor cultivation requires good ventilation and humidity control, particularly during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds. The plants respond well to both soil and hydroponic systems, though soil growing may enhance the terpene profile. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with sensitivity to overfeeding, particularly nitrogen during flowering.
