Pez Strain

Pez: Sweet as Candy

Since this plant is a full Indica strain it is bushy with strong lateral branches that hold massive buds filled with THC. Although the majority of Pez plants are medium height, when grown outdoors, unpruned, they can get to be quite tall. You will want to keep that in mind when you are planting your seeds. Pez plants have long thin leaves that are bright green in color. The buds are tall and long and feature multi-colored pistils growing all over the surface area of these plants. Looking closely at the buds you can see a crystal resin sparkling under the lights. Once you harvest the buds you are left with dusty, resinous nuggets of green and amber. The nuggets are equal parts bud and orange hairs. They are also leafier than your average nuggets. While Pez hasn’t won any major awards on its own its offspring, Pineapple Pez, has taken home a Cannabis Cup trophy. With an amazing lineage, Pez is connected to award-winning buds, which ultimately makes it more popular and highly desired in the cannabis community.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Pez feminized cannabis plants have just enough cultivation care needs that this strain is best grown by intermediate to experienced growers. While you can grow your Pez female plants inside or outside, you will need to ensure that they are raised in a warm, humid environment. Experienced growers recommend that you top your Pez cannabis plants so that plenty of air and light can penetrate their dense foliage. In addition, this pure Indica benefits from well-draining soil, rich in nutrients like potassium, phosphorus, and nitrogen. Spacing is also important with this strain as the lateral branches grow long so you will want to take that into consideration when you are planting and mapping out where your seeds will grow.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Pez cannabis plants can be grown indoors and outdoors by experienced growers. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit. The Pez strain of cannabis requires 18-20 hours of light during the vegetative stage. Dialing back the light cycle to 12/12 will induce flowering and get you to your harvest with healthy buds.
•  Moisture control: In terms of humidity levels, you’ll want to set it at 40-70% during the vegetative growth stage. To get the plants through to the flowering stage, you will need to drop the humidity to a steady 30-40% to avoid mold, mildew, and bud rot.
• Training Techniques: Topping and Low-stress training are the best training techniques for these plants. Each of these techniques will increase yield sizes if performed correctly by gently tying down and bending branches to allow more light to reach the lower bud sites. This strain has dense foliage and requires a bit of work to ensure that the plant receives adequate air and light.

Every gram you harvest makes this high-maintenance strain totally worth growing. Experienced growers and cultivators will have the patience to see this grow through to the very end.

Dominant Terpenes in Pez: Fruity & Tropical

The Pez terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while myrcene and limonene are secondary terpenes.

• Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – Spicy and peppery this terpene is found in cloves, black pepper, and cinnamon as well as cannabis.
• Myrcene: Secondary Terpene – Earthy and herbal contributing to the strain’s relaxing effects on the user.
• Limonene: Citrus – Found in the rinds of citrus fruits like lemons this terpene helps with anxiety and can improve lung function.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Pez:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Pez seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That relaxed, sleepy, and hungry feeling you get when enjoying the Pez strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at a monster 25%, the THC in this 100% Indica strain is responsible for the relaxed and sleepy feeling you get when enjoying Pez cannabis.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Pez are about 1%, the cannabinoid is still present, and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep, pain, and even stress. The CBD in the Pez strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
