Pixie Dust
Pixie Dust
Also known as: Zacio
Overview
Pixie Dust is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by California breeder Esensia Gardens, created by crossing Blueberry with their proprietary strain Magic Wand. This award-winning strain has earned recognition as an Emerald Cup Award Winner in 2019, 2021, and 2023, establishing it as a premium craft cannabis cultivar. The strain exhibits the classic characteristics of its Blueberry genetics, producing dense, pepper-shaped forest green nugs with amber undertones, thin bright orange hairs, and a super frosty coating of glittering, amber-tinted white crystal trichomes.
There is also another documented lineage of Pixie Dust that stems from crossing White Widow and Lavender, which produces similar effects and characteristics but from an unknown breeder. This version maintains the indica-dominant profile while incorporating Lavender's famous calming properties and White Widow's legendary potency. Both versions are grown in specialized conditions, with the Esensia version cultivated in the Mayacamas Mountains at 3000 feet elevation to enhance its unique terpene profile. The strain is characterized by its magical, bakery-like aroma profile featuring heavy notes of blueberry paired with creamy vanilla, fresh pastries, and hints of lemon zest.

Growing Information
Pixie Dust is considered beginner-friendly with high mold resistance, suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Flowering time ranges from 63-70 days (9-10 weeks). Indoor plants reach heights of 80-140cm and can yield up to 650 grams per square meter. Outdoor cultivation produces plants between 100-200cm tall with yields of 500-850 grams per plant. The strain thrives in controlled environments with consistent temperatures and adequate lighting. It responds well to SOG and ScrOG growing methods. Special cultivation techniques focus on preserving cannabinoid integrity through low-temperature curing and minimal handling to maintain high THC levels.
