Also known as: Pink Lotus Kush
What is the Pink Lotus strain?
Pink Lotus is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Pink Lotus is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its visually striking appearance and well-rounded effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, but it is generally believed to have emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2010s, likely as a phenotype selection from complex breeding projects involving multiple indica and sativa varieties. Breeders sought to create a strain with both aesthetic appeal and a harmonious effect profile, resulting in this distinctive cultivar.
The strain is named for its unique floral presentation, which often features dense, resinous buds with a pink or purple hue that emerges during flowering, particularly when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures. The buds are typically medium to large in size with a conical structure, covered in a frosty layer of trichomes and accented by vibrant orange pistils. The coloration, combined with the heavy resin production, gives Pink Lotus a lotus flower-like appearance that makes it visually distinctive among cannabis varieties.
Pink Lotus is noted for its complex aromatic profile that blends sweet, floral, and earthy notes with subtle fruity undertones. The strain has gained a reputation among cultivators for its relatively forgiving growth characteristics and among consumers for its balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, Pink Lotus has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities where it is appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and versatile effects.

Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, with indoor growing allowing better control over the temperature conditions that enhance its pink/purple coloration. Plants tend to be medium in height with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training to improve light penetration and airflow.
