Pulp
Also known as: Pulp Fiction
Pulp Strain Overview
Pulp is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Compound Genetics, known for its complex flavor profile and potent effects. The strain was created by crossing the popular Gelato 41 with an undisclosed parent, though some sources suggest it may involve genetics from the Sunset Sherbet family. First introduced in the late 2010s, Pulp gained attention in the California cannabis market before spreading to other regions, becoming particularly noted for its unique terpene expression that combines sweet, fruity, and gassy notes.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, resinous structure characteristic of its Gelato lineage. The flowers display a striking appearance with deep purple hues often appearing alongside bright orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty trichomes. The coloration becomes more pronounced when grown in cooler temperatures. The name "Pulp" references both the strain's juicy flavor profile and its connection to popular culture, with some enthusiasts calling it "Pulp Fiction" as an homage to the film.
Pulp is recognized for its well-balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational and medical cannabis users for its versatility and complex sensory experience. While not as widely available as some mainstream hybrids, Pulp has developed a dedicated following in craft cannabis circles where it is appreciated for its distinctive characteristics and reliable performance.

Pulp Strain Growing Information
Pulp is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in suitable climates.
The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity to prevent mold issues. Pulp plants tend to stay at a manageable height indoors (3-4 feet) but can stretch significantly during the flowering phase, requiring some height management. Outdoor plants can reach 5-6 feet tall. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation due to the dense bud structure and monitoring for common pests. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to overfeeding during the vegetative stage.
