Pixie Punch
Also known as: Pixie Punch OG
Pixie Punch Strain Overview
Pixie Punch is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the indica-dominant Purple Punch with the sativa-leaning Pixie Stix. This strain emerged in the late 2010s as breeders sought to combine the dessert-like qualities of Purple Punch with the energetic, fruity characteristics of Pixie Stix. The resulting cultivar offers a well-rounded experience that has gained popularity in both recreational and medical cannabis markets.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance. The flowers exhibit deep purple and forest green hues, often accented with vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The visual appeal is enhanced by the strain's tendency to develop purple coloration, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The buds are usually compact and resinous, with a sticky texture that indicates high cannabinoid content.
Notable features of Pixie Punch include its complex aromatic profile and balanced effects. The strain has gained recognition for its ability to deliver both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation. Its relatively high THC content combined with a diverse terpene profile makes it suitable for various consumption preferences. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Pixie Punch has established a niche following among connoisseurs who appreciate its hybrid characteristics.

Pixie Punch Strain Growing Information
Pixie Punch is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 9 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over the temperature conditions that enhance its purple coloration.
Indoor yields average 14-16 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. The plants tend to remain medium in height, reaching 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. Pixie Punch responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures (70-80°F during day, 65-70°F at night) and providing adequate airflow to prevent mold in the dense buds. The strain benefits from a slight temperature drop during the final weeks of flowering to encourage purple pigmentation.
