PB & Violet
Also known as: PB and Violet, PB & V
PB & Violet Strain Overview
PB & Violet is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s from boutique breeding programs in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain represents a carefully balanced genetic cross that combines distinctive flavor profiles with moderate psychoactive effects. While its exact origins remain somewhat obscure within the cannabis community, it has gained a small but dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique terpene expression and reliable effects.
The strain's name derives from its two most prominent flavor characteristics: a creamy, nutty peanut butter note (PB) combined with floral, berry-like violet undertones. Visually, PB & Violet typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a structure that leans slightly toward its indica heritage. The flowers often display a striking color palette ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, with vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty appearance. The aroma profile is complex, evolving from earthy and nutty notes upon initial inspection to more floral and sweet undertones when broken apart.
PB & Violet is noted for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to physical relaxation. The strain's moderate THC levels make it accessible to both novice and experienced consumers, though individual phenotypes can vary significantly in potency. Growers value this strain for its resilience and relatively straightforward cultivation requirements, though its rarity means it is not widely available in commercial markets. The strain remains primarily within specialty dispensaries and private collections, with limited information available about large-scale production.

PB & Violet Strain Growing Information
PB & Violet is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a controlled indoor setting or Mediterranean-like outdoor climate. Plants tend to remain medium in height (3-5 feet outdoors, 2-3 feet indoors) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like low-stress training (LST). Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds and providing adequate support for branches as flowers develop. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and shows good resistance to common pests and diseases.
