Pink Zinfandel
Also known as: Pink Zin, Zinfandel Pink
Pink Zinfandel Strain Overview
Pink Zinfandel is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed through the crossbreeding of Zkittlez and Pink Panties. This strain emerged in the mid-2010s from California's competitive cannabis breeding scene, where breeders sought to combine the candy-like sweetness of Zkittlez with the relaxing properties of Pink Panties. The resulting cultivar gained popularity for its distinctive flavor profile and balanced effects that appeal to both recreational and medicinal users.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, conical buds with a structure reminiscent of its Zkittlez parentage. The flowers display a vibrant color palette ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, accented by bright orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosted appearance. The name 'Pink Zinfandel' references both its genetic lineage and the wine-like aromatic qualities that distinguish it from other dessert-themed strains.
Notable features include its complex terpene profile that produces a unique combination of fruity, floral, and earthy notes. The strain has gained recognition in cannabis competitions and has been featured in several cannabis publications for its consistent quality and appealing characteristics. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream hybrids, Pink Zinfandel has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its nuanced effects and flavor complexity.

Pink Zinfandel Strain Growing Information
Pink Zinfandel is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields typically range from 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 cultivation but thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, making them suitable for limited-space grows. Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold in the dense buds and implementing training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize yield. The plants respond well to organic nutrients and benefit from a gradual flush before harvest to enhance flavor development.
