Sticky Punch
Also known as: Sticky Punch OG
Sticky Punch Strain Overview
Sticky Punch is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the indica-dominant Purple Punch with the sativa-leaning Sticky Beast. This genetic combination creates a balanced hybrid that typically expresses around 60% indica and 40% sativa characteristics. The strain emerged in the late 2010s as breeders sought to combine Purple Punch's dessert-like flavors with Sticky Beast's resin production and uplifting effects.
The strain is named for its exceptionally resinous buds that feel tacky to the touch, often described as having a 'glue-like' texture. Visually, Sticky Punch buds typically display dense, chunky structures with deep purple hues intermingled with vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of milky trichomes. The coloration becomes more pronounced when grown in cooler temperatures during the flowering phase.
Sticky Punch has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. The strain is particularly noted for its high resin production, making it a favorite among concentrate producers and extract artists. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream commercial strains, Sticky Punch has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities.

Sticky Punch Strain Growing Information
Sticky Punch is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable 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 average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a controlled indoor setting where temperature can be manipulated to enhance purple coloration. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Sticky Punch requires good air circulation due to its dense bud structure and benefits from regular pruning to prevent mold. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to overfeeding during the flowering phase.
