Pillows
Pillows Strain Overview
Pillows is a relatively modern indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Compound Genetics. The strain emerged in the late 2010s as part of the "dessert" or "pastry" strain trend, which focuses on sweet, creamy, and dough-like flavor profiles. Its creation was aimed at producing a cultivar with pronounced relaxing effects and a unique aromatic bouquet reminiscent of baked goods and fruit.
The strain's name reflects its reported effects, which many users describe as providing a soft, cushioning sensation that eases the body into a state of deep relaxation. Visually, Pillows typically produces dense, chunky buds with a structure leaning toward its indica heritage. The flowers are often a vibrant green with occasional purple hues, coated in a thick layer of frosty trichomes and adorned with bright orange pistils. The buds are known for their sticky resin production and a sweet, doughy aroma that becomes more complex upon grinding.
While not as historically established as some classic landrace or legacy strains, Pillows has gained recognition within certain cannabis enthusiast circles for its distinctive flavor and potent, sedative-leaning effects. It is considered a specialty strain rather than a mass-market cultivar, and its availability may be limited to specific dispensaries or regions. The strain's genetics and exact lineage are proprietary information held by its breeder, contributing to its somewhat exclusive status in the cannabis market.

Pillows Strain Growing Information
Pillows is considered a strain of moderate difficulty to cultivate, better suited for growers with some experience. It has a flowering time of approximately 8 to 9 weeks when grown indoors. The plant tends to stay relatively short to medium in height, typical of indica-dominant varieties, making it suitable for indoor setups with limited vertical space. It can also be grown outdoors in a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with a long growing season, finishing by mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere.
Expected yields are moderate to above average when optimal conditions are provided. The plant prefers stable environments without extreme temperature fluctuations. It responds well to training techniques like low-stress training (LST) to maximize light exposure to lower bud sites. Growers should monitor humidity levels closely, especially during the late flowering stage, as the dense bud structure can be susceptible to mold or bud rot if airflow is inadequate.
