Pressure
Pressure
Overview
Pressure is a hybrid cannabis strain created by the renowned breeding team at Exotic Genetix through crossing Gary Payton and Rainbow Chip. Gary Payton, itself a hybrid of The Y (Y Griega) and Snowman from the Cookies genetics line, brings potent effects and complex terpene profiles to the mix. Rainbow Chip, a balanced cross of Sunset Sherbet and Mint Chocolate Chip, contributes its distinctive fruity and chocolatey flavor profile along with energizing properties. The result is a visually striking strain with dense, frosty buds featuring shades of purple, indigo, yellow, and pale green, all covered in a heavy coating of crystalline trichomes that give it a sugar-dipped appearance. Pressure typically exhibits medium-sized nugs with vibrant orange pistils emerging from the resinous surface. The strain's appearance has been described as 'atmospheric' due to its rich color palette and gleaming trichome coverage. As a relatively rare strain in the cannabis market, Pressure has gained attention among connoisseurs for its unique combination of visual appeal, complex aromatics, and well-balanced effects. The strain represents Exotic Genetix's expertise in combining elite genetics to create something both familiar and novel.

Growing Information
Pressure is bred by Exotic Genetix and is considered moderately difficult to grow, making it suitable for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of 60-65 days (8-9 weeks) and grows surprisingly tall despite its indica-dominant classification, presenting unique cultivation challenges. It thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be managed, with preference for low humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold. The strain responds well to training techniques and benefits from consistent monitoring. Growers should maintain organic soil and proper fertilization to maximize the strain's distinctive citrusy and spicy aromatics. Indoor cultivation typically yields moderate amounts of dense, resinous buds with heavy trichome production. The strain requires attention to detail but rewards experienced growers with visually stunning, high-quality flowers that showcase the complex genetics of both parent strains.
