Spiked Punch
Spiked Punch
Also known as: Spike Weed
Overview
Spiked Punch is a hybrid strain developed by a few breeders who took slightly different paths to achieve, in each case, an indica-leaning gem with vibrant purple hues and effects. Spiked Punch via California's Skunk House Genetics, perhaps the most popular version, is a cross between Purple Punch and Larry OG F8. Sin City Seeds also developed a version crossing Purple Punch X SinMint Cookies, with a flowering period of 55-65 days. Spiked Punch emerged in the late 2010s as the Punch family surged in popularity across legal markets in the United States. It is a modern, dessert-leaning cannabis cultivar prized for its candy-like fruit aromatics, dense purple-tipped flowers, and a balanced-yet-potent high. This bud has small heart-shaped bright neon green nugs with lots of amber hairs and a coating of tiny frosty white crystal trichomes. Vivid orange pistils stand out against the deep purple and green backdrop, adding to the visual allure of the strain. This colorful presentation not only makes Spiked Punch a favorite among cannabis enthusiasts for its aesthetic appeal but also suggests a quality and potency that are visually confirmed by its frosty, dense buds.

Growing Information
From a cultivation perspective, Spiked Punch is a straightforward performer that repays attention to environment, airflow, and calcium-magnesium balance. It rewards canopy discipline with consistent yields, resilient resin production, and an aroma that survives the dry and cure. Flowering time ranges from 55-65 days for most phenotypes. Spiked Punch is a versatile hybrid strain that thrives in a controlled indoor environment or a warm, sunny outdoor setting. Drying should be done at 60°F and 60% RH with steady, low laminar airflow for 10-14 days. Curing is best done in airtight containers at 62% RH, with small daily burps for the first week. The strain is considered beginner-friendly with moderate difficulty level and produces dense, resin-packed flowers suitable for both smoking and extraction.
