Peanut Dust
Also known as: Peanut Dust OG, Peanut Dust Kush
Peanut Dust Strain Overview
Peanut Dust is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis scene. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, though most sources trace it to California's underground breeding communities. Its name derives from the distinctive aroma profile that combines nutty, earthy notes with a dusty, dry finish reminiscent of peanut shells. The strain gained a cult following among connoisseurs for its unique terpene profile and balanced effects, though it never achieved widespread commercial distribution.
Visually, Peanut Dust presents with dense, conical buds that exhibit a forest green coloration with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are typically heavily frosted with milky-white trichomes, giving them a dusty appearance that contributes to the strain's name. Orange pistils weave throughout the buds, creating a striking contrast against the green and purple background. The buds are known for their exceptional resin production, making them popular among extract artists.
Notable characteristics include the strain's complex aroma profile that evolves throughout the curing process. Initially, the scent presents with strong earthy and nutty notes, but as the buds are broken apart, secondary aromas of citrus, pine, and subtle diesel emerge. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, with a smooth smoke that carries the peanut-like earthiness through to the exhale. The strain's effects are typically described as well-balanced, providing both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation.

Peanut Dust Strain Growing Information
Peanut Dust 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 mid to late 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 performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a controlled indoor setting where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed.
Plants exhibit a hybrid growth pattern with indica-dominant structure—bushy and compact with strong lateral branching. Indoor plants typically reach 90-120 cm in height, while outdoor specimens can grow to 150-180 cm. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and careful nutrient management as the plants can be sensitive to nitrogen excess during flowering. The strain shows good resistance to common pests and molds when grown in optimal conditions.
