Pucker Punch
Also known as: Pucker Punch OG
Pucker Punch Strain Overview
Pucker Punch is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by Exotic Genetix that has gained popularity for its unique flavor profile and potent effects. The strain was created by crossing the indica-dominant Purple Punch with the sativa-dominant Lemon Tree, resulting in a genetic profile that combines the best characteristics of both parent strains. First introduced to the market in the late 2010s, Pucker Punch quickly became a favorite among connoisseurs for its distinctive terpene profile and reliable effects.
The strain's appearance is notable for its dense, chunky buds that display a vibrant color palette. The flowers typically feature deep purple and forest green hues with bright orange pistils weaving through the dense calyxes. A generous coating of frosty trichomes covers the buds, giving them a shimmering, crystalline appearance that indicates high potency. The nugs are often golf ball-sized or larger, with a tight, compact structure that breaks apart to reveal complex inner layers.
Pucker Punch is particularly celebrated for its unique flavor and aroma profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with sharp, sour undertones. The name derives from the distinctive 'puckering' sensation users experience from the strain's sour citrus flavors, which are balanced by sweeter berry and grape notes from its Purple Punch lineage. This combination creates a complex sensory experience that has made Pucker Punch a sought-after strain in both recreational and medicinal cannabis markets.

Pucker Punch Strain Growing Information
Pucker Punch is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are substantial, averaging 450-550 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to stay medium in height, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold (due to dense bud structure) and providing adequate support for branches during late flowering when buds become heavy. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
