Pink Lean
Also known as: Pink Lean OG
Pink Lean Strain Overview
Pink Lean is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2020s, gaining popularity in the West Coast cannabis scene. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, though it appears to be a cross between Pink Kush and an unknown OG Kush variant. The name references both its pinkish coloration and the 'lean' descriptor commonly associated with relaxing, sedative effects in cannabis culture.
The strain is characterized by dense, conical buds that display a striking visual appearance. The flowers typically feature deep green foliage with vibrant pink and purple hues that intensify toward the end of flowering, especially when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance, while orange pistils provide contrasting accents. The buds are often quite resinous and sticky to the touch.
Pink Lean has gained attention for its balanced effects and complex aromatic profile. While documentation remains limited compared to more established strains, it has developed a following among enthusiasts who appreciate its combination of physical relaxation and mild cerebral stimulation. The strain's relative newness means comprehensive historical records and standardized testing data are still developing within the cannabis community.

Pink Lean Strain Growing Information
Pink Lean is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in suitable climates.
The plants tend to develop a bushy structure with indica-dominant growth patterns, reaching medium height indoors (3-4 feet) and potentially taller outdoors (5-6 feet). They respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize light penetration and bud development. Pink Lean prefers stable environmental conditions with moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds. The strain can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates, though indoor cultivation allows better control over the temperature variations that enhance its colorful expression.
