Pixie Stix
Also known as: Pixy Stix, Pixie Sticks
Overview
Pixie Stix is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain created by the prolific breeder Exotic Genetix through a genetic cross between Grape Pie and Sherbert BX1. First appearing in dispensaries during the late 2010s to early 2020s, this strain emerged during the peak of candy-named cannabis cultivars and has established itself as a crowd-pleasing variety known for its confectionary characteristics. The strain produces dense, vibrant, palm-shaped purple buds covered in a healthy layer of golden-tinted white crystal trichomes and wispy amber pistils. Breaking up fresh Pixie Stix buds releases an intensely sugary berry scent that permeates the surrounding area. The strain's visual appeal is particularly noteworthy, with forest green nugs adorned with amber hairs and sparkling trichomes that create an attractive bag appeal. Pixie Stix has gained recognition in legal markets for its high terpene content, typically falling between 1.5% and 3.0%, which is above average for craft flower, contributing to its strong aromatic profile and therapeutic potential.

Growing Information
Pixie Stix is suitable for growers of all experience levels and thrives in temperate climates. The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, reaching heights of 5-8 feet in either environment. Indoor flowering time is relatively quick at 7-8 weeks, producing dense, frosty buds with vibrant colors. Indoor yields range from 600-700 grams per square meter, while outdoor cultivation can produce up to 1000 grams per plant. Harvest typically occurs in October for outdoor grows. The strain requires consistent temperatures, adequate lighting, and careful humidity monitoring to prevent mold while optimizing nutrient delivery to support its sugary flavor profile. Cultivation demands a controlled environment to fully develop the distinctive candy-like aroma and visual characteristics.
