Pink Truffle
Also known as: Pink Truffles, Pink Trufflez
Overview
Pink Truffle is a contemporary hybrid cannabis strain that has gained significant attention in the craft cannabis community since around 2020. The strain's exact lineage shows some variation across different breeders, with multiple sources citing crosses between Pink Kush and various Truffle genetics, though some cultivators report it as a cross between Pink Runtz and White Truffle. This variability is common in modern cannabis breeding, where strain names sometimes represent a family of related phenotypes rather than a single genetic line. The strain is known for its striking appearance, featuring dense, chunky buds with vibrant pink and purple hues, adorned with frosty white trichomes that give it a resinous, crystalline appearance. Pink Truffle has earned its place among premium dessert strains, combining the sweet, floral characteristics of Pink genetics with the earthy, umami-rich qualities typical of Truffle family cultivars. The strain is particularly noted for its complex terpene profile and potent effects, making it a favorite among connoisseurs seeking both exceptional flavor and strong therapeutic potential.

Growing Information
Pink Truffle is moderately challenging to grow and responds well to training techniques like topping and SCROG (Screen of Green). The strain flowers in 8-10 weeks indoors and is typically ready for outdoor harvest in mid-to-late October. Indoor plants can reach 5-8 feet in height and may require height management through pruning. Indoor yields range from 250-300g/m² (450-750g/m² under optimal conditions), while outdoor plants can yield 350-900g per plant depending on training and conditions. The strain thrives in controlled environments with temperatures between 68-79°F during vegetative growth and requires careful humidity control, especially during flowering due to dense, resinous colas. Proper airflow and IPM (Integrated Pest Management) are essential to prevent mold and pests. Pink Truffle performs best with nutrient-rich feeding schedules and benefits from lower nighttime temperatures (2-3°C cooler) during late flowering to enhance terpene production.
