Pink Kush 1.1
Also known as: PK 1.1
Pink Kush 1.1 Strain Overview
Pink Kush 1.1 is a stabilized phenotype selection of the classic Pink Kush strain, developed through selective breeding to enhance consistency in growth characteristics and cannabinoid profile. This indica-dominant cultivar traces its genetic lineage to the original Pink Kush, which itself is believed to be an Afghani landrace strain that gained prominence in British Columbia, Canada during the early 2000s. The '1.1' designation indicates it represents a specific, reproducible genetic expression within the broader Pink Kush family.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that display a distinctive pinkish-purple hue in the flowers and sometimes in the leaves when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The nugs are typically compact and covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The aroma profile is complex, combining sweet floral notes with earthy undertones and a distinct kush spiciness.
Pink Kush 1.1 has gained recognition for its potent effects and consistent performance, making it a popular choice among both medical and recreational users. While maintaining the classic Pink Kush characteristics, this specific phenotype has been stabilized to reduce phenotypic variation, resulting in more predictable growth patterns and effects compared to the original strain. The cultivation of this strain has spread beyond its Canadian origins, though it remains particularly associated with the West Coast cannabis culture.

Pink Kush 1.1 Strain Growing Information
Pink Kush 1.1 is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over the temperature conditions that can enhance the pink/purple coloration.
Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 90-120 cm indoors and 120-150 cm outdoors. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures (avoiding extreme heat) and providing good air circulation to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to bud rot in humid conditions. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to overfeeding.
