Pitbull
Also known as: Pit Bull
What is the Pitbull strain?
Pitbull is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 36.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Pitbull is an indica-dominant hybrid (80% indica, 20% sativa) developed by Stoney Girl Gardens in the early 2000s. Created through crossing P-91 (a sativa-dominant hybrid from Southern California) with Sugar Plum (an award-winning strain that placed first in the 2003 Oregon medical cannabis awards), this strain has earned recognition for its exceptional potency and robust genetics. The strain takes its name from the tenacious characteristics it displays during cultivation, much like the dog breed it's named after.
The buds are characterized by medium to large-sized nuggets with a surprisingly loose and fluffy structure, roughly spade-shaped with olive green leaves twisted through vibrant orange pistils. Occasionally, phenotypes display streaks of purple in their leaves when exposed to cooler temperatures, as anthocyanins in the plant's genetics are activated. The strain exhibits a remarkably quick flowering time of 6-7 weeks and produces high yields, making it attractive to both commercial and home cultivators. Pitbull is known for its hardy nature, showing resistance to mold, mites, and other adverse growing conditions, making it suitable for both novice and experienced growers.

How do you grow Pitbull?
Pitbull is considered an excellent strain for both novice and experienced growers due to its hardy genetics and resistance to common growing problems. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments with a remarkably quick flowering time of 6-7 weeks (42-47 days). Indoor yields can reach 16-24 ounces per plant under optimal conditions, while outdoor harvests typically occur in mid to late September in the Northern Hemisphere. Plants grow short and bushy with strong lateral branching, making them easily accommodated indoors. The strain prefers Mediterranean climates outdoors and requires 8+ hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal THC and terpene production. Growing difficulty is rated as easy to moderate, though the dense bud structure makes proper air circulation crucial to prevent mold and mildew. Plants respond well to training techniques like LST, topping, and supercropping to increase yields.
