Pink Icing
Also known as: Pink Icing Cake, Pink Icing OG
Pink Icing Strain Overview
Pink Icing is a hybrid cannabis strain developed through selective breeding of two popular parent strains. The exact origins of Pink Icing are somewhat uncertain in cannabis literature, with different breeders claiming development, but it appears to have emerged in the early 2010s as part of the 'dessert strain' trend that gained popularity during that period. The strain is known for its visually striking appearance and balanced effects that combine physical relaxation with mental clarity.
The strain typically produces dense, conical buds with a distinctive coloration that gives it its name. The flowers often display shades of deep green with vibrant pink and purple hues, particularly in cooler growing conditions. These colorful buds are generously coated in a thick layer of trichomes that resemble icing sugar, creating a frosty appearance. The visual appeal is further enhanced by bright orange pistils that contrast against the darker background colors.
Pink Icing is recognized for its complex aromatic profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its well-rounded effects that are neither overwhelmingly sedating nor excessively stimulating. Its balanced nature makes it suitable for various times of day, though some users prefer it for evening use due to its relaxing qualities.

Pink Icing Strain Growing Information
Pink Icing is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower within 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments but tends to perform better in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors, with outdoor specimens potentially growing taller. Pink Icing requires good air circulation to prevent mold due to its dense bud structure and prefers a stable environment without extreme temperature fluctuations. Some growers recommend using training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize yields and light penetration.
