Pigs in Space

Pigs in Space is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.

Pigs in Space is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged from the underground breeding scene in the Pacific Northwest during the early 2010s. The strain's name is a playful reference to the 1970s sketch from The Muppet Show, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure within cannabis breeding circles. Breeders developed this strain by crossing two notable parent strains to create a balanced hybrid with distinctive characteristics that has gained a cult following among connoisseurs despite limited commercial availability.

The strain produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, indica-dominant structure that is coated in a generous layer of trichomes, giving the flowers a frosty appearance. The coloration typically ranges from deep forest green to olive hues, often with subtle purple undertones that become more pronounced when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. Orange pistils weave throughout the buds, creating visual contrast against the darker foliage. The aroma profile is complex, combining earthy base notes with citrus highlights and a distinctive fuel-like undertone that becomes more pronounced when the buds are broken apart.

Pigs in Space is noted for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain's rarity means that comprehensive laboratory data is limited, and much of the available information comes from grower reports and user experiences rather than extensive scientific testing. Its unique name and balanced effects have made it a sought-after strain among collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate its distinctive terpene profile and reliable performance.
