Pistol Whip
Pistol Whip Strain Overview
Pistol Whip is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing two notable parent strains: Gelato #33 (also known as Larry Bird) and Wedding Cake. The strain emerged in the late 2010s as part of the ongoing hybridization trend within the cannabis breeding community, combining popular genetics to create new experiences. While not as widely documented as some legacy strains, Pistol Whip has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance characterized by deep purple hues intermingled with vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of trichomes. The coloration is particularly pronounced in cooler growing conditions, where the purple pigments become more dominant. Pistol Whip plants often exhibit a compact structure with tight node spacing, making them suitable for various cultivation environments.
Notable features include its potent effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation, creating what users describe as a 'creeper' experience where effects gradually intensify. The strain's name reflects its reputation for delivering a powerful impact that some compare to being metaphorically 'whipped' by a pistol of effects. Breeders have focused on stabilizing the hybrid characteristics to maintain consistency across phenotypes.

Pistol Whip Strain Growing Information
Pistol Whip is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable 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, 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 environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be regulated. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures during the flowering phase to enhance color development, and providing adequate support for the dense buds to prevent mold. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration.
