Pink Starburst
Also known as: Starburst, Pink Starburst Petrol
Overview
Pink Starburst is a complex hybrid cannabis strain created through a three-way cross of DJ Short's Blueberry, Headband, and AJ Sour Diesel BX3 (with some sources also mentioning Underdog OG). This strain was developed through several years of breeding work by Anesia Seeds, with multiple backcrosses and elaborate selection processes aimed at achieving the highest possible THC content while maintaining a broad sweet terpene profile and good yields. Named after the popular candy due to its sweet, fruity taste that is reminiscent of Starburst confections, this strain has gained significant popularity among cannabis enthusiasts for its exceptional flavor profile and potent effects.
Pink Starburst is typically classified as a 60% sativa/40% indica hybrid, though some sources report it as sativa-dominant. The strain produces fluffy, neon green buds with pinkish undertones, bright orange hairs, and a thick coating of golden crystal trichomes. Reports indicate THC levels can reach as high as 27% according to the breeder, with some sources claiming levels above 32%. The strain exhibits two distinct phenotypes that differ slightly in growth patterns and flowering time, with the more compact phenotype finishing around 55 days and the taller phenotype requiring an additional 5-10 days. Known for its exceptional resin production and aromatic complexity, Pink Starburst has become a favored choice for both recreational users and extraction enthusiasts.

Growing Information
Pink Starburst can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, with plants responding well to various training methods, particularly SCROG (Screen of Green) setups. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 55-65 days, with the more compact phenotype finishing around 55 days and the taller phenotype requiring an additional 5-10 days. Indoor plants typically reach heights of 120-140cm, while outdoor plants can grow 180-230cm tall. Expected yields are impressive, with indoor cultivation producing up to 600g/m² and outdoor grows yielding up to 700g per plant. Indoor cultivation requires controlled temperature and humidity for optimal results, while outdoor growing is possible in warm climates with ample sunlight. The plant develops its complete aroma and terpene profile best when grown organically. Considered suitable for intermediate to experienced growers due to its specific environmental requirements and training needs.
