Pine Tar Gush
Also known as: PTG, Pine Tar Gush OG
Pine Tar Gush Strain Overview
Pine Tar Gush is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity among connoisseurs for its distinctive aromatic profile and balanced effects. The strain was developed through selective breeding to combine the resinous qualities of Gush Mints with the classic pine and fuel notes of traditional OG Kush varieties. While its exact breeding history remains somewhat obscure in public records, Pine Tar Gush emerged in the West Coast cannabis scene around the late 2010s and has since become a sought-after cultivar in both medical and recreational markets.
The strain is characterized by its dense, conical buds that display a striking visual appearance. The flowers typically exhibit deep forest green coloration with occasional purple hues, complemented by a thick coating of milky white trichomes that give the buds a frosty, almost wet appearance. Orange pistils weave throughout the dense bud structure, creating visual contrast. The name 'Pine Tar Gush' accurately describes its most notable feature: an intense aroma that combines sharp pine notes with earthy, fuel-like undertones and a subtle sweetness reminiscent of fresh tar or asphalt.
Pine Tar Gush represents a carefully balanced hybrid that leans slightly toward indica dominance in its effects while maintaining some sativa-like cerebral qualities. The strain has gained particular attention for its resin production, making it popular among concentrate producers and extract artists. Its complex terpene profile and reliable effects have established it as a staple in many dispensaries, though it remains less common than mainstream commercial strains. The cultivar's consistency and distinctive characteristics have earned it a dedicated following among experienced cannabis users.

Pine Tar Gush Strain Growing Information
Pine Tar Gush is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to maximize its potential. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields with proper care, while outdoor plants may produce larger harvests in optimal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can adapt to outdoor growing in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain medium in height, making them suitable for indoor spaces with height restrictions. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold (due to dense bud structure) and providing adequate support for branches as flowers develop. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to increase yield.
