Pink Lady strain guide
Pink Lady is a newer hybrid name with a catch: more than one breeder uses it. The versions we found share one parent, Apples and Bananas, and listings describe a sweet, fruity smell with some gas and high THC. Beyond that, there's not much written about it yet.
Where does Pink Lady come from?
There isn't one agreed history. One strain database lists a Pink Lady from Nasha Genetics as Apples and Bananas crossed with what is "probably" Pink Runtz, and Grow Diaries gives the same pairing. Retail listings in the US describe a different Pink Lady from Offensive Selections, a cross of Apples and Bananas and Sourdough #1.
Because those are two different plants sharing a name, we haven't listed a single lineage. The one thing they have in common is Apples and Bananas, a fruity, gassy strain that has been used in a lot of recent breeding.
What does Pink Lady smell and taste like?
One strain database describes the Nasha version as candy-sweet and gassy. Retail listings for the Offensive Selections cut talk about bold fruit and gas with a light perfume note, which fits its Apples and Bananas parent.
Terpene listings we found come from the Offensive Selections cut, where limonene, myrcene and caryophyllene lead. Limonene brings a bright citrus edge, myrcene an earthy, musky one and caryophyllene a peppery bite. Other versions may differ.
Pink Lady effects: what people report
There are very few user reports so far. Retail listings for the Offensive Selections cut pitch it as an evening strain with a relaxed body feel and suggest it suits people who already have some tolerance. We haven't found enough independent reviews to say more.
Whatever you've heard, treat it as a starting point, not a promise. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance.
How strong is Pink Lady?
Pink Lady is a high-THC strain by every account. One strain database lists the Nasha version at 24% to 28% THC, and batch results posted for the Offensive Selections cut range from about 23% to 32%. CBD is trace.
That's strong, so start small and wait before having more. Some of those batch numbers are THCa rather than total THC; our guide to THCa vs THC explains the difference.
Buying Pink Lady in Canada
If the package names a breeder or parents, that tells you which Pink Lady you're getting. Don't confuse it with similarly named strains like 1937 Pink Lady, which isn't the same plant.
Check the THC and CBD numbers, any terpenes listed and the packaging date.
Pink Lady vs Apples and Bananas
Apples and Bananas is the parent both Pink Lady versions share, and it's the better documented of the two. It's known for a fruity apple, pear and banana smell with gas underneath and a happy, relaxed reputation. Pink Lady keeps the fruit and gas but is described as sweeter and more candy-like, with a perfume touch in some cuts, and it's often listed a little higher in THC. If you want the known quantity, start with Apples and Bananas. If you're curious about its newer offspring, try Pink Lady.
