The father of Sweet Pink is an F4 male from DJ Short's Blueberry line; the mother is a Pink Champagne. The hybrid was bred by Second Generation Genetics, the company of DJ Short's son JD Short in Eugene, Oregon. Its flavor is compared to grape bubblegum.
Genetics and Origin:
The cross Pink Champagne × Blueberry F4 is named consistently by several strain descriptions, as it is by the breeder's description that is widely used in retail. For Pink Champagne itself, one strain description lists Cherry Pie × Grand Daddy Purple as parents. The paternal side is family history: in an interview with Willamette Week, JD Short traced his father's Blueberry back to Thai, Chocolate Thai, Afghan and Oaxacan.
Confusion is possible with Sweet Pink Stink, a separate strain for which one strain description gives Bubblegum × Purple Urkle as parents.
Aroma and Flavor:
Grape bubblegum is the flavor note that the breeder's description in retail and other strain descriptions alike highlight. Berry and sweet tones are added, along with a hint of diesel. One strain description names myrcene as the leading terpene, followed by pinene and caryophyllene; this information is not based on a published analysis.
THC Content:
According to a single strain description, Sweet Pink contains 18 % THC and 1 % CBG.
Effects:
The user reports describe a mood-lifting, euphoric effect that comes with drive. Individual users also mention focus, creativity, tingling or increased desire, while another report describes the strain as relaxing and calming. Several reports emphasize its strength. Dry mouth, dry eyes and dizziness are listed as side effects, and one report mentions nervousness.
Community Experiences:
Visually, Sweet Pink stands out in one report for very dark, purple-colored flowers. Where the reports address flavor, the verdict is positive.
Cultivation:
Sweet Pink is photoperiodic and documented as regular seed; according to one strain description, a feminized version has never existed. Suitability for indoor and outdoor cultivation is stated by the retailer's description as well as by a strain description.
The flowering time is given differently by different sources: the retailer's description of the Second Generation Genetics version states 52 to 59 days, while a strain description citing the breeder states 55 to 62 days. The same retailer's description portrays the plants as medium-tall to tall and, relative to their size, high-yielding.
