How do you grow Pinky?
Pinky is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. Indoor cultivation is common and allows better control over temperature, which can enhance the strain's characteristic pink and purple coloration when temperatures are lowered during the final weeks of flowering. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors. Pinky responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and mold, particularly in dense buds, and ensure good air circulation throughout the grow space.
