Pitaya
Pitaya Strain Overview
Pitaya is a predominantly indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by Intrepid Genetics, a breeder based on California's central coast. This strain represents the offspring of a carefully selected Grape Pie female (hunted from Cannarado Genetics) crossed with a Dragonfruit male donor (from Dying Breed Seeds, also known as 3rd Gen Family). The genetic combination results in a potent strain that showcases the sweet, fruity characteristics inherited from both parent lines, with the Grape Pie contributing dessert-like berry flavors and the Dragonfruit parent adding tropical fruit notes and energizing properties.
The strain exhibits typical indica-dominant growth patterns with dense, resinous buds that display an attractive appearance. Pitaya produces plants that are well-suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though they require careful attention during the flowering period. The strain has gained recognition for its balanced effects profile, offering both mental euphoria and physical relaxation, making it appealing to both recreational and medicinal users seeking relief from various conditions including stress, anxiety, and pain management.

Pitaya Strain Growing Information
Pitaya is considered moderately difficult to grow and is suitable for intermediate to experienced cultivators. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 65 days (9-10 weeks) and can be cultivated indoors, outdoors, or in greenhouse environments. Plants exhibit typical indica growth characteristics with bushy, compact structure that benefits from training techniques like SCROG or LST. The strain prefers controlled environmental conditions with stable temperature and humidity levels. Growers should monitor for pests and maintain proper air circulation. Indoor yields are moderate to above-average, while outdoor cultivation requires a warm, Mediterranean-like climate for optimal results. Only regular (non-feminized) seeds have been available from Intrepid Genetics.
