Peanut Butter Swirl
Also known as: PB Swirl
Peanut Butter Swirl Strain Overview
Peanut Butter Swirl is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Do-Si-Dos with Peanut Butter Breath, resulting in a genetic profile that combines indica relaxation with sativa-inspired cerebral effects. The strain emerged in the late 2010s from breeders seeking to create a flavorful, potent variety with balanced effects. It gained popularity in the West Coast cannabis scene before spreading to other markets, though it remains less common than its parent strains.
Visually, Peanut Butter Swirl buds are typically dense and chunky with a structure leaning toward its indica heritage. The flowers display a striking appearance with deep purple and dark green hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The strain's name derives from its distinctive aroma profile, which many users describe as reminiscent of peanut butter with sweet, nutty undertones.
Peanut Butter Swirl is noted for its complex terpene profile that produces a unique flavor experience. When consumed, users typically report a smooth smoke with earthy, nutty flavors on the exhale, complemented by subtle sweet and creamy notes. The effects are generally described as balanced, providing both physical relaxation and mental stimulation without overwhelming sedation, making it suitable for various times of day.

Peanut Butter Swirl Strain Growing Information
Peanut Butter Swirl is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain medium in height (3-4 feet indoors, 4-6 feet outdoors) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold issues.
